That's the going rate out here - $60 minimum charge, whether they fix your plumbing problem or not. "Additional charges may apply."

I guess that's better than them never putting the booties on to begin with. I had a guy out here last week to figure out why my internet connection had suddenly died. He wore his big dirty clunky boots into the house every time he came in from his truck. Turns out someone at HQ mixed up my service request order with someone else's and somehow managed to switch our phone numbers. Of COURSE my internet service suddenly disappeared - I'd been given a completely different phone number/account that didn't get internet from that provider.
Repair guy had to go back to the office THREE TIMES to get Eric the Imbecile at HQ to straighten everything out. Tracked crud in on his boots every damned time he came in the house. At least it wasn't raining.
