This is SOP billing - if Qworst had pulled this stunt anywhere else (not in bumblefuck nowhere, NE) it most likely would have gone unnoticed. But when you're rural bumpkin, you really don't have anything better to do but comb through your bills and scrutinize every item. | |

But I work for the little bit of money I make, so I make sure ALL of my bills are correct. I'd sure as hell notice a $33 charge on my bill that didn't belong there, and I would complain to have it removed. | |

The location is completely irrelevant. Qworst shouldn't be charging a customer for moving when they didn't move! The fact that the "rural bumpkin" noticed the charge only goes to show that she(he?) pays attention and is responsible with her finances. | |

| I scrutinize my bill all the time. This enables me to correct any overcharges/errors in my bill. I even scrutinize my receipt when I go grocery shopping. Many times stores overcharge you. Another thing you need to look at is sales tax. Sometimes, you get charged tax on non-taxable items. So, while you may see this act as someone who "don't have anything better to do but comb through your bills and scrutinize every item", I see it as an act of someone who is smart. | |

But when you're rural bumpkin, you really don't have anything better to do but comb through your bills and scrutinize every item. I'm sorry but I have to disagree here. If a bill is roughly the same amount every month, as utilities or phone and internet usually are, then you're going to notice a $33+ increase. Then you start combing through the bill to find out why it went up.
Oh, and I just moved here from San Diego so there's no need to mention that I live in bumblef**k nowhere, MO.
