            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>what is everyone's thought about working on Sundays? I personally take that day off. I had a client move his day to a sunday for no reason. I messaged him and asked him why he and he just wanted to. I explained to him if he wants me to cut for him I do not cut on Sundays so he agreed to leave it on Saturday. Can LS LL require the client to reach out to us as the pros before rescheduling or let us put in the days we are available? I understand taking care of the client but to what end?</p>]]></content:encoded>

Ive accepted about 4 jobs they are all a week or two out, but the amount of money it says id make for 20,000 sq ft isn't much. $40 if the customer is happy with my work is it safe to just get them off and book with me directly? I don't want to get in trouble or banned but i do charge differently from the app. Has anyone done this before?</p>]]></content:encoded>
