    Used to have a client at my computer store who imported seafood. He always tipped by opening the freezer and giving me a box of crab legs.
    I miss that. ;)

    Reverse tip ...

    When my old IT guy made house calls to fix the things I broke he would generally show up around 6 PM when I was cooking and we'd invite him
    to stay for supper and take home a loaf of Roslind's hot out of the
    oven bread. He would knock an hour off our bill so I used to brag that
    my suppers were worth $70 a plate and Roslind's bread was worth $15
    as he billed at $85.

    It probably was worth it! When I was single I often accepted dinner at
    clients homes just for home cooking and the company. Of course at the
    time I had not really been cooking and mostly just ate at the diner
    next door to my store.
