A restaurant owner asked Pipe Doctor for a better price on a commercial plumbing job… while charging $22 for a pastrami sandwich.In this uncut and unedited Mikey Pipes Uncensored story time, Mikey breaks down one of the biggest problems in the plumbing, HVAC, and service trades: customers who want quality, reliability, commercial-grade materials, trained technicians, fast response, and lifetime-warranty products — but then get sticker shocked when the estimate shows up.This one is for every service technician, plumber, HVAC contractor, business owner, dispatcher, estimator, and apprentice who has ever heard:“Can you do any better?”“That’s more than I thought.”“I know a guy who can do it cheaper.”“I’ll think about it.”Mikey talks about commercial plumbing fixtures, utility sink faucets, Wolverine Brass, real overhead, customer acquisition costs, coupons, service pricing, and why professional tradesmen should never be ashamed of charging what the job is worth.Pipe Doctor Home Services proudly serves Long Island, Nassau County, Queens, Woodmere, Hewlett, Cedarhurst, Lawrence, Valley Stream, Oceanside, Lynbrook, Rockville Centre, Five Towns, and surrounding areas for plumbing, heating, cooling, HVAC service, ductless mini splits, boilers, water heaters, tankless systems, and commercial plumbing.📞 Pipe Doctor Home Services516-348-6300🌐 https://pipedoc.net👉 Become an ACiQ dealer or learn about private label opportunities:https://aciq.com/mikeypipes🔥 Mikey Pipes SPD-01 Surge Protection DeviceOnly $175 shipped!

She Wants FREE Money After QUITTING?! 🤦‍♂️ | Unemployment Claim Rant

She quit... and now she wants unemployment?In today's Mikey Pipes Uncensored, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what small business owners deal with that customers never see. I open a letter from the New York State Department of Labor and explain why I'm formally protesting an unemployment insurance claim after an employee failed to report to work, stopped communicating, and created major problems for the business.This isn't about revenge. It's about protecting a small business, documenting the facts, and standing up when someone tries to game the system.Along the way, I also share:✅ Finishing another ACiQ Extreme+ install✅ Why running a service company is harder than most people realize✅ Hotel customers trying to avoid paying their bills✅ My uncensored thoughts about accountability and responsibilityIf you're a service technician, contractor, business owner, or anyone who's ever managed employees, you'll probably relate to this one.👇 Let me know in the comments...Would YOU protest the unemployment claim, or would you let it go?👇 Subscribe if you enjoy behind-the-scenes HVAC, plumbing, business ownership, and uncensored shop talk.📍 Long Island Plumbing, Heating & Air ConditioningPipe Doctor Home Services, Inc.📞 516-348-6300🌐 https://www.pipedoc.netServing:• Woodmere• Hewlett• Valley Stream• Oceanside• Long Beach• Rockville Centre• Nassau County• Queens• Long Island, NYNeed Plumbing?Need Heating?Need Air Conditioning?Need Emergency HVAC Service?Give us a call!🔥 ACiQ Dealer SignupBecome an ACiQ Dealer today:👉 https://www.aciq.com/mikeypipes⚡ SPD-01 Surge ProtectionProtect your inverter HVAC equipment.Order your SPD-01 here:👉 https://mikeypipes.com/shop❤️ Support Mikey Pipes PhilanthropyOwn one of the famous $42.50 Mikey Pipes Posters!100% of proceeds benefit charity.💰 Zelle:mike@mikeypipes.com💰 PayPal:mike@mikeypipes.comVenmo:@PipeDoctorCash App:$mikeypipesny⏰ CHAPTERS0:00 She Wants FREE Money?!0:36 The Unemployment Letter1:30 Why I'm Protesting2:35 The Text Messages & Evidence3:35 Why Being Nice Doesn't Always Pay4:40 Accountability Matters5:18 Another Customer Doesn't Pay5:55 Final ThoughtsIf you enjoyed this video...👍 LIKE💬 COMMENT📤 SHARE🔔 SUBSCRIBEEvery interaction helps this channel grow!#HVAC #SmallBusiness #MikeyPipesMusic from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/Track Name *Fly Away
