I've gotten plenty non cash tips over the years, but this one..

[Dolly Llama]

took me by surprise

Gotten all kinds of non cash tips over the years..homemade back good, veggies from the garden, mics merchandise/goods ...even been offered sexual favors
(told him no thanks).


but got a huge surprise today from a regular that has their carpets cleaned twice a year.
No kids, but several big dogs that trash the place.
He's the one that calls to schedule, and he's the one always there when we do the job

last time I was there, somehow we were talking about chainsaws and how disappointed I was with my Poulan Pro going to hell with only minimal use .
he made fun of me for buying a POS Poulan

long story a little less long...look what he gave me today




bran' spankin' new
gave me the receipt that's in my name for warranty purpose
$213 bukz for saw and Stihl 2 cycle oil he bought me to go with the saw

Told me based on my use (very little and nothing large) I should never have to buy another saw



badazz, eh?


..L.T.A.

I traded out on a job for 10 silver bars. I came home feeling like a pirate. My wife looked at me like I brought home magic beans.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Holy shit, good job!!!!!!

 

[Charlie Lyman]

Nice. I seem to get lots of cookies. My son got a $100 bill handed to him the other day. I never get tips like that.

 

[JS41035]

Kinda. Worth about 200 bucks. I'm gonna bury it. Make a treasure map. My kids like geocaching. Probably put it in one of those old wooden ammo boxes. My 10 year old will flip when they dig it up. Might even make a treasure map and try to make it look aged.

shoot I was hoping it was a pic of the nubian princess.

 

[Chris A]

Nice! I have the same saw it's a good one

 

[Dolly Llama]

Monetary wise, I believe this is the largest tip I've ever received as well

Over the years there's been countless 10s 'n 20s, handful of fiddys and the largest I can recall was a hunnert

this was a $200 tip on a $250 job

I called Mark Saiger the other day to tell him about my unusual tip. I got a box of 9mm hollow points from a customer.

I was cleaning the church when he called....

Was a great story I believe from a former chief of police.

Made me laugh pretty hard!

Handed to you, or shot at you?

 

[dealtimeman]

That is a very good saw and a good score for sure.

 

[Able 1]

Great score for sure!!

My best by far was this year, I got a washer(sold for $400) dryer (kept it and sold my old one $200) and a stainless fridge(kept it for the garage) from one customer! I don't think I will ever top that one..

 

[ronbeatty]

Handed to me, then he gave me his phone number he is going to get me some shotgun shells

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Nice Larry! Dad has that model.
Wear safety glasses its gonna throw some chips compared to POS Poulan.

Couple weeks ago I traded 3.5 hrs of work for solid oak bunkbed set. Sad day moving my Little buddy to a HUGE twin. lol

Sweet Larry.

Very thoughtful gift from an appreciative client. A great feeling which is worth far more than the monetary value.

Only worth anything if you can use it or sell it.

I nearly furnished my lake place in a cleaning trade. Sectional, front load washer dryer, king bed, dining table, end tables, night stands, some kitchenwares, desk, lawnmower.yard tools, bedding, art, and more.

A cleaning trade also, my neighbor had a small water job, she's an artist with these pieces shown in different museums ie Carnegie Institute, Carnegie Melon University and several others..........Now they are mine. She did these freehand and they are originals...
