Charging travel time within the city of Calgary is BS. If the guy is that busy he should be able to schedule a small job so that he's not going from the South East to the North West for his next job. I get the impression that FG would have been somewhat flexible with his schedule had the guy given him a reasonable price. Most people need time to go to work so if FG is that far out of the way than start the day at his place and work your way back. Good for him for calling BS on this and not giving the guy the job.

Although I will admit that in any trade type bussiness if you see a job you don't really want to do, people will often to overprice the job so the client won't accept. In reality the customer would probably rather be told that the trades guys preference would be to not do that job.
