Actual phone call I just received:

Caller: “So is there any chance that you would spay my kitten for free?”

Me:  “No. The price is $xx.xx which includes the exam that must be done before we put your pet under anesthetic.”

Caller: “I thought that if I said I had no money you would have to do it for free. Isn’t it some kind of an oath? To treat poor people’s animals for free?”

Me: “Actually – no. And I don’t think we’d be in business too long if we didn’t charge for our services.”

Caller: “Oh. Never mind then. I thought I’d try and see if you’d do it. The other animal hospital said the same thing.”
