Tips

[JPIESIK]

     I've received bad checks from both sides of the income ladder. But, in 
     each case, it was made good, and each was very apologetic. I now tend 
     to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I don't worry, at least 
     not too much, about eventually getting paid - I've always gotten paid. 
     (I hope my trust doesn't end up biting me in the you-know-where 
     someday!)
     
     I've also received tips - $10 here, $20 there. (It doesn't happen that 
     often, but it does occasionally.) I explain that it is not necessary 
     to tip the piano tuner, but if they insist, I appreciate it. And the 
     really strange thing is that the ones who tip me are the ones who can 
     least afford to - never been tipped in a multi-million dollar home, of 
     which I get into quite often.
     
     Regards,

Don´t be surprised, I tune for a lot of hi income people, it happens a lot, 
very seldom I get a check bouncing from middle class people, I think hi 
income people do not keep money in their check accounts, they keep it 
invested. Some for whom I tune are long time customers,  I don´t know in the 
US, but here you can present the check at the teller later again, normally 
the second time it gets through.
