: Actually, he put the old one at my curb for trash pickup (my : trash company does not charge any extra on bulk days). Yes, he did : bring the new one with him of course. And I certainly understand that : we must pay for his expertise, tools, etc. But to make over $200 for : an hour of work is simply highway robberty in my book. So when a doctor talks to you for five minutes and charges $70, what's that? How much time did the plumber spend before he got to your house. How much driving time was there? When I go to the doctor, I pay for parking, drive myself there, and wait in the waiting room. The five minute apointment takes me 1.5 hours plus parking. Should I be charged 1.5 hours for visiting the doctor?
