Plumber is standing me up

A couple weeks from job start date and my plumber is standing me up, says he's too busy to do the work...

It's nice to know not everyone is slow in this crap economy.

I don't get it. Usually they do the first job reasonable then the second doubles in price, then when you warn them in advance on the third job that your not going to put up with @#$%, they still figure out a way to rob you. I have been through 8 or 9 of these scums in 20 years. My electrician has been with me since the start!!!
