The liability people gave me a raft of bullshit reasons as to why the rate went up. Here's some that I remember and my responses:
'The shop has more than ten employees' No, it has three, plus the owner.
'You haven't had an increase in eight years' That's not MY fault, is it?
'It's tourist season' Why didn't you increase the rate in all the other tourists seasons? They come round every year.
'There has been an increase in claims from the businesses in your area' Raise THEIR rates, then.
And on and on. Took about 40 minutes to get them to not admit that the increase was insane and back it down. For the record, we don't object to price increases, but they more or less admitted that they couldn't justify 45%.
