“Why do “professional” shadchanim THINK and EXPECT that they should get paid????
Do I get paid for davening every day? Saying a bracha before and after I eat something? If so, please tell me to whom do I go to, so I can collect? I won’t have to work anymore and I’ll retire.”
Just curious what would happen if you tried that line on your hairdresser, (chesed) gardener (chesed), childs tutor (chesed), grocery store (chesed), you get my drift. Since when do YOU have the right to determine where and when someone else should spend thier time to help YOU and then demand that they do it as a chesed??
