Alright, please keep me updated on the situation and anything I can do to help.

Absolutely. If you hear about healing magic, that'd be neat.

Clients that aren't paying your reds, be apprised that reds don't have to do more work until the bills get paid.

What? But they need the plumbing fixed and/or there is a dead body in their apartment tower now!

That's why she's telling them about the policy in advance so they can get the bills squared before such an emergency occurs.

They have complaints about the quality of the work, they shouldn't have to pay for subpar work.

She will buy this excuse from anyone who only used a provider once and subsequently switched providers.

In this one town there is only one undertaker because there are so few people.

Why are they dissatisfied with the work?

Sometimes they are late. Once a body was bumped against a doorframe. Someone claims to have heard a rude remark about their dead aunt's nose.

Well, in the future they have to pay for the work anyway.

But they have no alternatives and the work is bad and this is the only way they can express their displeasure.

How often do these people find some fault?

...as often as necessary.

But, like, of twenty times the undertaker shows up, how many didn't get paid.

Five.

Maybe they should tip for good service.

Ew.

Well, depends how badly they want good service! But the reds don't have to show if they aren't getting paid.

What if - get this - they say they will pay them, but then don't?

That sounds like a great way to have them stop showing up entirely.

But then there would be dead bodies just, you know, around. Being dead.

If you don't pay your farmers you starve but this is not an argument that farmers should have to work for free.

But they could switch to different farmers!

If there's only one doctor in an area you still have to pay her, too.

Uuuuuugh.
