I asked a typesetter who works for himself to make a small change on a document that he helped me type last summer. He refused to make the change for personal reasons.. I asked again and again since he had the original document and he was the only one able to make the change.
I didn’t hear from him for about a year. Last Friday he reached out to me sending me shalom for Charlotte video.
Once again I asked him to make the small change. I said I would pay him 25.00 when he didn’t respond I said 50.00 he still didn’t respond so I offered 100.00 and still the controlling part of him refused to say ok. So I asked if I give him 1000.00 would he make the change.. he responded that it would take him a few days to find the document on an old computer. I sent him the document and still no response. So I said he has a full week to get it done.
Than I decided to ask my local printer if they can do it..they said they could do it for 40.00 on the spot. So Tuesday Am I sent him a message that my local printer can do the job. He responded back that he still had time until 1 min before shabbas bec I said next week..
So I told him not to do the work and I will go else where.
After it was done. I said pls don’t do the work it was all done. And he said I owe him the 100.00 bec he had a full week to do the job.
I was 💯 percent right. Not to pay him for work he never did.
But I decided for shalom I will send him the 100.00
So I sent him the 100.00 Even though my funds were very low.
