Good points...however....I take care of my lawn service guys better than most(leave a cooler of gatorade each week, tip at Christmas, etc) I get a lower rate then my neighbor who does nothing for them and sometimes doesnt pay on time. I had a girl who cut my hair years ago that would give me free hair cuts and would put me to the front of the line if there were people waiting, because I was pleasant and treated her good(and I may have fucked her a couple times but thats not the point) I have had bartenders give me free drinks because I would flirt and have nice conversations with them instead of being a drunk asshole like others in the bar(may have fucked one or two of them as well but still not the point). So in a lot of cases, being a good "customer" for whatever criteria has had perks as I think they should.
So the pending question is, would you rather get $300 from a rude fat ugly dude or $250 from a good looking sweet guy that is pleasant to be around for providing the exact same service?
There is no wrong or right answer to this question. Just my curiosity.

What you originally asked, was would we be willing to give a discount to a guy for simply showing the normal levels of hygiene and decorum that every human being on this planet
should be doing anyways, or simply bc we just genuinely enjoyed his company.
My answer to that poll question is no. I provide a good service and I deserve to be compensated for that service. If that bothers some people, I am ok with them moving along.
