Things you wanted to say to frustrating clients, but didn’t.
Epic rant edition: “To the customer…”
Take it or leave it. Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an absolute miracle on our part. We are not a bank. Too expensive? Compared to what? When was the last time you bought something custom — after you hired a design person to create it in the first place? When was the last time you filed and managed a permit all the way through? Oh, you have never done that? Or you have — and would never do it again? How about I bring my family to your restaurant, Mr. Customer, have dinner and then send you a check in 30 to 90 days … maybe. Ready to take my order?
