How do you feel about amazon's new anti-diy "service".

The service is for yuppies who think their time is actually worth something during their off hours.

Some people do not read or learn about processes and suggested methods before attempting to diy shit. Which causes them to waste time and money then proceed to call a company to fix their mess.

or they living on american wage rates

I make over six figures and my time is actually pretty valuable thanks.

Well, how many then? Seven figures? Ten? And if your time is so valuable, why are you wasting it here?

>> No.1248960

>>1248769
are you trying to say you make over 100,000? because if you make over six figures you would be making at least seven figures you retard.

I actually worked as one of their service guys for a while when I was between jobs.

It was mind-boggling what people would pay for simple shit.

A yuppie couple paid me $85 to install 2 of those smart smoke detectors. I got $110 to install a garbage disposal another time. My very first gig was $75 to install an electronic lock and doorknob.

Most of the people were just completely out of touch rich fucks, but there were one or two clients that were just people who didn't want to risk fucking things up themselves I guess.
