Appreciation

[IvegotsTILE]

I was just wondering what your customers have done for you thats made you feel like they've really appreciated your work.
I'm sure most of us have been given the odd tip here and there and been given bacon sandwiches but anything unusual.
Today when I was on the last day of a job the customer gave me a £20 tip that was nice but when I went to my vehicle I realised he'd washed the whole thing and it was ammaculate:yikes:. It might of only taken him half an hour but I was genuinley really grateful he did it.Made me feel really valued.
Another customer I saw some of his old Star Wars toys and I told him how much I loved Star Wars and the old toys I used to have and when I finished the job he gave me a whopping great bag full.
These things mean more to me than a £20 tip...just wondering what you guys have had?

Prompt payment is my favourite form of appreciation.

I've had the odd bottles of wine or champagne, an 80gig external had drive for my lappy, toys for the kids.

I did have a customer who said he was going to give me his crosstrainer, was a massive thing and worth about £600. Sadly we fell out as he wanted me to bodge some tiling in an ensuite which i wouldnt do as it would have looked awful.

I was given a couple of large bottles of whisky last year with upside down labels. It turned out her husband was just a few minutes behind an off sales truck when it rolled off the road. He collected 74 bottles off the road.
