Most expensive girl scout cookies, EVER!

Wow! really expensive (and overpriced). I had a kitchen sink that clogged, but I just didn't have time to get into it. I checked the P-trap and line back to wall, but found they were clear. I also checked all the other drains--they ran fine. This was the only clogged sink and assumed the clog couldn't have been very far down the line. I had to leave and asked my wife to go ahead and call a drain cleaner. So, I wasn't there when he arrived. Their tech was well spoken, calm and friendly. He immediately said the problem would require $338 in fees to fix, in addition to the $45 trip fee. How he figured it would require a snake all the way to the main line, I'll never know, but he "diagnosed" the complexity without using any tools. By the time I talked to him on phone he said it was too late since he already had the snake out 25ft! (but there isn't that far between the next sink line!) My wife had to sign all sorts of things and had to agree each point on their contract. My wife, sensing an argument said we could use the money in our emergency fund and I agreed to talk to his manager and see what's really going on. To be fair, he did notice a pipe that wasn't draining back properly, but this wasn't the issue with the clogged sink. I tried to negotiate thinking $318 for 45 minutes of services was way too much, but they said they'd take off $45 only. Talked to other plumbers who said a whole house main could be snaked for $150. Too bad the tech was a nice guy and working for an overpriced company preying on those in need. Oh, and he gave my wife a box of Girl Scout cookies (the most expensive cookies we ever bought).
