JohnH Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Long-time client & friend brings me his tax info. For years and years, has always paid when he picks up his return. He had some recent temporary financial setbacks (which I already knew about). Client: "I'm running a little tight right now. Is it OK if I pay you when I get my refund? Me: "Sure, no problem. I'll put a rush on your return. Than way you get your refund quicker and both of us benefit." Client: (with sly grin on his face) "H-m-m-. Mind if I start paying you when I get my refund every year?" Me: "Touche" Edited March 19, 2015 by JohnH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 There is a picture of this in the dictionary under "No good deed goes unpunished." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) You are such a good guy. I make them write me a check when they pick it up, and date it ahead. Then I have it and don't have to hound them for the money. I only do this occasionally and when there are special circumstances.

Possi Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I do this mostly at the top of the season. I could take it out of their refund, but there is a bank fee. I want their money in THEIR pocket and MY pocket. We don't share. It has been very good for my business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
