They keep reminding me they owe me a penny. Thanks!! It will continue until spring when they spread fertilizer, then they can take the penny off my bill. Shows how "going by the book" and following the accounting rules are for the best interests of all involved! I believe Worldcom was the disaster that started these new accounting rules. :lol: [Reply]   [No Email]

Although most bussiness in town have a small coin dish by the register where they can pick up a penny or two to even out a bill and c ustomers drop in their pennys to keep it going. I never bill my customers in uneven amounts. [Reply]  [No Email]

I pay cash when I get anything,then they send me a statement with a balance due as if I hadn't paid it. A few days later they send another statement saying that I paid it. Pizzes me right off!

They sent a bill to every client every month, and if we hadn't done any work for them that month, the bill was for 25 cents, which was the cost of the postage for sending out the bill. Turns out the bean counters at the insurance companies insisted on it- they needed an audit trail, and had to have a bill every month. The bureaucracy at work. [Reply]  [No Email]

I know the amount is trivial... but I'm sure they do have policy in place and an audit procedure that requires them to carry that balance forward... If it had be ten bucks here and 100 bucks there that they wrote off the books because it wasn't worth their bother to carry it... somebody would be on here complaining about what a bunch of robbers they are.

I dropped a dime in an envelope and mailed it to them. Never heard any more about it. Wonder how much it cost the state in manhours and postage to collect that big sum? [Reply]  [No Email]
