I literally will patronize business that cost a little more just because they let me schedule online.
For me, I'll give an example - chimney sweep. The company I use lets me request a service appointment online and lists it's prices online. The rest I saw I had to call for both prices and appointments. No, thanks.
Calling for prices... outside of very special circumstances, no thank you!
"If you have to ask for the price, then you can't afford it."
Well, I probably can afford it, but if I have to ask for the price then the business is asking more from me than I am of them. I'll go with whatever competitor doesn't seem to be actively hiding something from me, thanks.
