I cant belive you would con your custies like that, they keep you in work.If your struggling put your prices up, they would think more of you.

I try to keep at least £20 in change, but at certain times of the month (usually the end) it goes quite quickly when everyone pays with a £20 note!

Whenever I have insufficient change, I just tell the customer and offer to go back when I have enough.

Well, I must be mad because I always insist they take the change.  Did it yesterday.  First clean at £18. He gave me £20 and said don't worry about the change. I told him "no, I said it'll be £18 and that's what I'll charge".  That's our relationship on a good, professional level right from the start, so that's the way it'll work from now on.

thats the point i was trying to get over when i started this post. i wasnt talking about trying to fleece anybody, as i ALWAYS give folk their change.  i was just thinking that a fair proportion of society WANT to give a tip,and it could be encouraged ,in a subtle way .    im talking about the section of society who are offended when offered 20p pieces  as change

personally,i get a tad offended when im paid with small coins ,especially coppers! but im not so offended to say to them ,"keep it."

jonny B so you not only go collecting once but if you ve not got enough change you have to go back again another day!!

not very professional IMO.if you have £80 in fivers and pound coins/50p s all the time you will always have enough change!!

The trick Bobby, is to know when to stop digging.
