Autistic Vulture:
Remember that Faye and Bubbles are walking about freely due to what Roko chose to ignore.
SeaWoodStage:
Agreed, but I think Roko chose to ignore that because she was making a moral choice. If you decide that something is the right thing to do, you shouldn't then set parameters on it.
(I don't think Roko was doing that btw, I just don't like the idea of genuinely moral decisions coming with a price for those it affects.)
Tova:
The goodwill, potential return business, and word of mouth business that this simple gesture likely generated is far more valuable than the small amount of cash they would have earned by charging.
--- Quote from: SeaWoodStage on 28 Apr 2020, 12:52 ---If my car needs fixing, and it turns out to be something very simple, I don't expect them to say "it took five minutes and we had the parts lying around, no charge." I expect them to charge me a reasonable amount, because they had the knowledge and skill to do something that I couldn't do myself.
--- End quote ---
I never expect it, obviously.
But I have personally experienced that very thing precisely.
SeaWoodStage:
I agree with you on the goodwill, return business, and word of mouth Tova, but Faye and Bubs aren't running with months of spare capital. I should just stick with the cardinal rule probably "not everything happens on-screen", so I'm going to assume they've got enough business from unseen characters to stay afloat.
Tova:
Whether they do or not (presumably they do), charging for a five minute job is not going to make or break their business. Failure to drum up new and much more significant business will.
