Something strange happened yesterday. I went round to a new customers house. An OAP bloke living in the standard OAP bungalow...just a few windows to clean, so I decided just to charge him a fiver. It had not been cleaned for some time so the frames and sills were mucky. In those situations I always spend a bit more time cleaning them up so that on future cleans its just a simple wipe down of the frames/sills. It took me 30 minutes...will take 15 next time...maybe less. Anyway, the bloke came to the door and said I had done good job and had worked very hard. He then thrust 50 quid into my hand and insisted that I took it as a token of his gratitude. I spent 5 minutes trying to give it back to him, but he wouldnt have it. I could have chucked it on the floor but feel that could have been insulting. There is no way that he would take it back. Anyway, I feel really bad about it and might phone him tomorrow to see if he wants to change his mind....what do you all think?
