Huggybear's articles about customers who try to get him to do work not contracted for made me think this concept might be worthy of its own thread.
When I had a job busting shoplifters, we had a list of people who were banned from the stores we worked. The owners and managers never shed a tear for the loss of these people as customers. There are also lists kept of people who write rubber checks; another example of people who arent' considered "good" customers.
Then there are those customers who are so demanding you'll never make back what they expect you to "eat" just to keep them from taking their business (and demands) elsewhere.
In the world of business, are all customers created equal? Do we owe anyone our time and resources, even if they prove they aren't worth it?
I say no. If some people choose to be unworthy of our time and services, we should happily deprive them of it and move on.
