Sure I could back charge them, but they won't pay it.

I recommend beginning the discussion by either biting them or peeing on them.
This will set the stage that you're not to be trifled with.

Are there other players in the area?

You just need to get creative on how to back charge them.  Negotiate the next job at a discount.

There's that. However, this job cost $46.20. Most of what I need done will be about that. They'd owe me for a long time.

The quality isn't bad at any of them. The problem is that when something goes wrong its your problem and their wallets get welded shut.

Welcome to the world of self-employment.

If they did it wrong their quality sucks...no? :-\

What you need is to take a sneaky make the beast with two backsing Russian with you.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

The Sneakiness...

I don't know if Boris the Bullet Dodger would stoop that low himself, but he definitely knows someone who knows someone who could get the job taken care of.
