£2.00 a jar, seems like a good deal to me.

Cheaper to get your jam at the co-op

few years back did a bit of taxi`ing after getting laid off. took a friend to the airport quoted him cheap anyway, it was sixty quid miles away should have been a ton. he counted the cash as we pulled up so he knew for a fact how much was there, passed me it and me being a daft **** just put it straight into a zipped coat pocket got homw and the ****** had scanked me by 20 quid. furious at him and myself for not wanting to look rude i did not count it in front of him after he had given it to me. now i re count it in front of everyone, if i did a re-wire for the pope i would make him watch me count it once bitten twice shy.

Steve, it may also have been a genuine mistake. I have been guilty of nearly short paying a subby once.
The lesson to be learnt here is always check cash in front of the customer.
At least you got some nice jam too!

If you wish to rant and swear then use the sparky pub..

I think this sounds like a simple mistake, sounds like a nice chap...

I went with my dad once to buy a tractor so we done the deal £2150, had the cash which we'd both counted out first in the truck and counted the right amount, gave it to the guy and told him to count it but he said no as his dinner was ready so he threw the bundle in the kitchen drawer. The next day he's on the phone saying we'd shorted him £100 and proceeded in telling everyone he seen about it, luckily nobody believed him as he likes his tall tales,anyway morale of the story is no matter how small or large the amount of cash and whether your paying or being paid it make sure you both count it out to save any argument afterwards
