That is because you are never made "whole" for accepting the call. I had a friend who owned a software business and sat on a jury for almost a month. He lost tens of thousands of dollars from clients that he could not service the month he was gone and got paid like $15/day. He was treated like crap during the whole process and said he would do anything he could to get out if ever called again.
