    If you read these boards often enough, then you would know that even those that are just starting out (newbies) can get $50 to $65 per signing. Taking $40 fees is desperation and you would be better off working at Wal-Mart.

    : Pan: Yes, I am angry--and I'm going to
    : tell you why: I am sick and tired to
    : death of these people (DD, et al) who
    : (I 'suspect') think they are the only
    : ones who have the right to work this
    : industry that apparently, they feel
    : they own, or at least built; they
    : don't want any one else to butt in on
    : their territory, and are SO afraid of
    : a little competition. I've seen
    : "$40 notary" bashing over
    : and over on this board, and how
    : supposedly they are 'ruining the
    : industry' and it's their fault the SS
    : are offering lower and lower fees.
    : Frankly, I think that is a bunch of
    : baloney! Let's face it...like ANY
    : booming business, it reached it's
    : pinnacle (nice for those of you who
    : got in on the BOOM), but the BOOM is
    : gone! Get used to it! and get off the
    : backs of the newbies (or 'greenies',
    : as I've seen them called on this
    : board), they have just as much right
    : as any one to give it a try. So I
    : repeat: Get off your high horse!

    : tc,
    :
    : DD must have really struck a nerve to
    : get such a response as yours.
    :
    : Do you think all of your raging is
    : going to accomplish anything other
    : than letting off steam?
    :
    : Frankly, one needs a thick skin in
    : this business and it's obvious yours
    : isn't.
    :
    : But, hey, it's a free country and
    : you're entitled to my opinion.

    : So what...?.....now you have ESP? You
    : 'sensed' it was a SS, you 'suspect' it
    : was screw up by a $40 notary? Where
    : do get off being so high and mighty,
    : and know it all? Who are YOU, anyway?
    : It's the ones like you that make me
    : want to barf...you just think you're
    : so great, so "Mr./Mrs. Expert
    : getting paid $150-$200 per
    : closing". So WHAT? Did you start
    : out that way? Did you not Have to
    : start out low and build your way up?
    : Or, in reality, is it because when you
    : started, the industry was booming and
    : paying more? You have no RIGHT to
    : bad-mouth those notaries who are
    : trying to make a 'go' of it.....you
    : don't know (or should I say 'sense' or
    : 'suspect'?) what their situation is,
    : or how badly they need the job. Hey,
    : at least they're not settling for
    : Welfare.......they're trying to make
    : an honest living. An HOW DARE you
    : assume, or 'suspect', that because
    : there was a screw up somewhere, it was
    : done by a "$40 notary".
    : There are CERTAINLY (and I know for a
    : fact--not 'sense' or 'suspect') that
    : there are some high-rolling, "I
    : make the big bucks" jerks out
    : there who also screw up!!!! So get off
    : your high horse, and let these
    : notaries do their job. You don't own
    : the industry.

    : I think it was a signing service that
    : just called me. She didn't say she is
    : a SS, but I suspect she is (you can
    : almost sense a SS). I think one of
    : their $40.00 notaries screwed up. She
    : said UPS has a package with a few
    : pages in it. She needs me to pick it
    : up and take it to the borrower for her
    : to sign. I said "sure, what's
    : the scoop" She sounded all angry
    : and flustered. She said she would call
    : me right back. When she called me
    : back, she said the borrower said she
    : wouldn't sign. I suspect the borrower
    : is probably angry & went with
    : another company. Well, I guess the
    : low-ball Signing Services are paying
    : the price. They should know you just
    : get what you pay for.
