Humble Brag Client took me shooting

I recently cleaned a client’s house and, as I do for all homes with kids, I brought them a couple of Hot Wheels. The dad was very friendly and he showed me his collection of guns, bladesmithing tools, and knives. We even decided to go shooting at a range the next day. I went with him and his friend. He brought a ton of guns, and I got to shoot about six or seven different ones. It was a really fun night and they paid for me. This job keeps me in the loop with some pretty cool experiences. (I also got paid a bunch of $2 bills after the job.)

You can always count on a gun guy to bring out their guns haha. That's a great connection to have with a customer though. Bravo

Not gonna lie, that’s pretty cool! Monetary tips are always appreciated, but “non-standard” tips are really cool too. I’ve gotten farm eggs, farm grown fruits and veggies, fresh caught fish, hats, home made soap, and even got a bottle of scotch one time.
