Do they have a pecking order, first come first hired, or by task required?

There was another time when I had some fence work done. I went to Lowe's and 3 guys came to the truck. I was telling them what I needed done and the oldest guy basically asked if it was just taking off the old pickets and putting new ones on. I told him some of the cross boards and maybe a post or two would need to be replaced.

He told me they wouldn't do it and pointed out a guy with a truck who had started walking over and said I needed to hire him. The guy had a generator, air compressor, nail gun and every other tool needed to do the job in his truck. Actually, everything but saw horses. They did a great job so I had them replace the gate also. They made the gate and got it square and level with the rest of the fence.
