TV Rental has a sort of charity work feel to it back in the '70s and 80s when I was involved, parts and labour were pre-paid in the customers rental, in fact we called the customers "subscribers".
After one company-wide shake up, we got a delegation of new management visit the depots, and lecture about only being in business to make a profit.
Shocking!
<Edit> Oh I just remembered, I even put a note behind the grille that said "DON'T TOUCH" but even that did't dissuade her entirely.

I had to laugh at little at that, I can just imagine it - it probably happened all over the country to all sorts of people
I’d loved to have been a TV repairman back in the 70s and 80s, doing something enjoyable almost everyday
