Mark, If you have decided who you are is an honest man do not add any lying to the issue.

If I think back I have done the same thing more than once; and I kept the money. Because I am not that guy any longer I would simply tell her you made an error and would apply a $50 credit to your next job. This way you may ensure another job and you have been honest. (She will remember you as an honest man)

PS, You gotta love that Donny he gets to the legal part right away. Mr. Business. Not a bad thing.

Your conscience already told you what to do . You just need to do it .

Sometimes we make stuff harder than they really are .....

I never have a problem with this kind of thing. I charge everyone the same price per hour, which is always stipulated in the contract and everyone gets a contract.

Good Luck,

Gary

Mark, you're a good guy...one of my favorites here.


You'll do the right thing. In this business, just thinking about the issue is a big deal.

Be well,

God is watching. Charge her the orig. $150.00 and you will
do what is right. Business will be good to you. Lloyd

Wow, Putin is 'annexing' Crimea, Iran is trying it's best to build a nuclear bomb to annihilate it's neighbors, ISIS is beheading Christians, Jews, Journalist, and anybody else it deems 'unworthy', Sexism and Racism plague practically every society on earth, disease and hunger kill off thousands of children and adults every day, and the list goes on......so I hope HE isn't wasting a lot of time on your little white lie.

Like it or not, the 'damage' was done the second you decided to lie and take the extra 50 bucks. What you're experiencing now is nothing more than guilt and putting it out there as a "What would YOU do" post is just a way of trying to deal with it.

If she asked me face-to-face, I'd tell her $150. If she (without asking) sent me a check for 200.00 or 250.00, I would pocket it without a second thought and chalk it up to her incompetence.

The die has been cast, the lie has already been told. Anything you do now is for YOU and to ease YOUR conscience. It's the moral equivalent of cheating on your wife and begging forgiveness later.

In the end, do what YOU think you'll be comfortable living with....and do it for THAT reason, not because someone or something is 'watching you'. Hey, I assumed you wanted an honest opinion, not some sugar-coated warm fuzzy.

Don't ask others. You know what is right and wrong.

Do the right thing.
