I get a kick out of all the shops that say they use flat rate pricing, and act like it is something that has been invented just recently. I wonder why we can’t just say it the way it is said everywhere else. Ever heard over the loud speaker in the grocery story “I need a flat rate price at register 3?” or have you ever heard a waitress in your favorite restaurant say “Today’s special is a Flat Rate $5.99”
Is it any wonder then that our customers find it a little odd or start wondering about our honesty when we use the term “Flat Rate” to describe how they will be charged for our services?
