And not to sound rude to this but I'm making this fictional route, not you. If you want a 25 stop route or less go ahead and make your own route. I'm already making a super express, but I decide on how I want to construct it not you. You aren't developing the route, and if I keep hearing from foamers saying "do this" and
"do that" I really will stop developing my routes. I have a life...
Not to sound rude, but all you had to do was say "No" to his question. But you had to make it like he is forcing you like
Simon says, which he probably isn't, just asking a simple question. Either say no or just ignore the question, it's as easy as that. You have a life I'm sure, but answering like that will only make life harder for you.
Take it from my perspective, when I'm detailing cars (buffing/waxing) I have customers on my back asking me this and that and I just answer to them this is my way, your way costs more money or I don't do it like that.
Easy, done. Life goes on.
