Clients with holiday appreciation

[ICTJOCK]

Whether it be Thanksgiving or the Christmas holidays,  its always a busy time for about everybody.   With that in mind,  a regular client asked if I would have any time on Thanksgiving day for a booking.    He's a regular when he's in town seeing family or on business.    He said he would add a bonus since "time for all on this day is at a premium".    I hadn't planned bookings on Thanksgiving because of time with family and friends and my desire to rest a bit.   In the end,  we weren't able to make it happen because of his schedule.    Not a problem.

So he is rescheduling for Saturday,  but said he still owes me the bonus because he promised it.    I told him he owes me nothing beyond my basic rate,  but he said he'd feel bad if he doesn't provide it.    We then had a conversation about how both viewed it.     He said it would be a "holiday bonus"  for good service.     I appreciate it.

I assume many providers here have had something similar.     I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving and a good weekend ahead.
