Better to be a new customer

Laura Snyder
Guest Columnist

So every six months or so, I allow someone who looks like a mug shot and smells like old coffee grounds to come into my home, mess with the wiring, and drill holes in my floors. Does this sound intelligent?

Then to complete this inane transaction, I give the same guy a check with my name, address, telephone number, and license number. Or, I give him my credit card information for the privilege of having him here. Why don’t I just give him my bra size and the key to my safe deposit box as well?

My husband feels that his wife and children are safe from the cable guy, because the cable company wouldn’t hire him if he weren’t a stand-up guy.

Maybe. But people who are not delusional know that every serial killer in history had a job! Now that I think about it, there are just as many cute guys in prison as not. Darrell could be mentally unhinged too.

From this introspection, I conclude that there are some benefits to being a loyal customer.
