Then he reveals there's an extra $80 charge for having to remove the toilet (he assumed he'd be going through the basement). Ok, my fault for not asking details. Then after my giant pause he says he won't charge the toilet moving fee, he's having a crappy day. THEN the rooter machine won't fit through the bathroom door. He asks is I care if it's damaged! Of course I do. At this point I ask him if I can just give him $10 and cancel the whole thing. He says there's a $69 charge just for showing up. So finally he's got the machine in and is rooting, & I hear lots of clanging that doesn't seem right & even look in the pantry to make sure things aren't coming out of the washing machine. Then he comes out and says he can't get the rooter thing to go DOWN into the pipe, it keeps going up into the vent. So he gives up and says there's no charge. I did offer him $10 cash for his time & rotten day, but he wouldn't accept it. He had what I assumed was a British accent. He said he's from the UK and I asked where and it was somewhere I'm not familiar with, and he said that he's picked up a bit of British accent from being in the military. I don't know what his accent really is then. (So I think I'll research the UK, that always confused me). The irony is I couldn't remember who I used 6 yrs ago that did a good & cheap job, but then accidentally came across the receipt for it while filing bills. And then with this KC place being a dud I called my boss who called a plumber friend who recommended the guy I used 6 yrs ago! So One giant lesson for me, one phone call to the original guy I called 6 yrs ago.
