I know I had one safelite guy come out once and he had his shirt tucked in and a big metal belt buckle and as he started to lean over the fender of the car I stopped him and had to ask him if he would mind taking his belt off as I was worried about scratches (duh).

I tend to stay around and watch hoping that will make them a bit more careful.

Good luck.
I don't know what people drink, other than beer, and I don't think they can do that on the job...

Coke?
Milk?
Juice?
Water?

Maybe I should stock up on all of the above and ask preference. I don't really "host", so that sort of thing, it's the dark continent to me.

It puts the lotion on its skin.

No seriously, I don't mesh with the locals so much, and I don't host stuff. I probably should just buy some juice and sprite and coke.

I would order Pieworks Pizza, but that's oily, and the glass...

Pizza would be a little much anyways. Offering water/coffee is all you gotta do to come across as a nice guy.

I just tend to offer bottled water or coffee, especially if it's in the morning.

Good call, I have just been abusing myself with tap water, but I can brew some coffee

Will pick up some bottled water.
