I had an interesting thing happen the other day.
I owed a guy money for some work he had done (crop spraying) and i couldn't pay. So harvest rolled around and i still was short on cash, so i offered to work it off with my combine. He had more acres than he could handle and accepted my offer enthusiastically. That was my first big go at custom work.
Funny thing was, when it came time to pay me(less what i owed of course) he practically kissed me. In his words, "I am so impressed that you wanted to work the bill off" " Most guys would have told me to go **** myself"
My reaction was huh? I cant understand it but apparently it is hard to get paid sometimes.
What has your experience been? What percentage of people don't like to pay for work done?
