[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.
Sometimes.

For instance, I work as a Nanny for a family who claims that they cannot afford to pay me the going rate.
They say that money is “tight,” yet they just bought a new house.
Their new house was very large + in an upscale area so out of curiosity I checked online to see how much they paid for the house.

Turns out - they paid $1M+ for it.

So I realize now that they are just cheap and an already looking for a new job. 😺[/quote]

When I was in my mid-20s, I did side work as a pet sitter in northern VA. The people who haggled over my prices the most ALWAYS had the biggest houses. I remember a woman gave me a sob story about how money was tight so I gave her a massive discount.

I show up and she’s in a multi-million dollar house in McLean. Not only that, as soon as I showed up for the first visit, she said “so you’ll be staying at the house 24 hours a day, right?” I was like…no, you’re paying for 2 visits a day at an extremely discounted rate, and I have a job to go to. She gave me a terrible review because “we once hired a college girl who stayed there 24/7 at half the price!”

I was so satisfied a few months later when she called me with another sob story about how her husband was in the hospital and they needed a pet sitter….but with his medical bills couldn’t afford to pay. Had a LOT of fun hanging up on her. [/quote]
