[QUOTE="soberups, post: 435078, member: 14668"] I seldom if ever get cash. I dont want it, and when I get it I just pass it along to the next Salvation Army bell-ringer I see. Most of the people who have offered me cash make way less money than I do. I have several wineries and filbert nut orchards on my route that like to give away a free bottle of wine or a bag of roasted filbert nuts as holiday gifts. I love filbert nuts, and although I dont drink my wife enjoys a bottle of wine. I dont feel bad about accepting these items from a customer who has thousands of them on hand and is giving them away to everybody, not just me. In a situation like that the customer gains enjoyment from giving these gifts away and if I know the Fedex guy and the mailman and the garbage man are all getting the same thing I feel OK with it. My favorite gift is from a coffee-roasting business that I pick up at. They import and roast whole coffee beans and ship them to latte stands and coffee shops all over the West Coast. About once a week they give me a pound of beans from a bag that got mis-labeled or is otherwise unsuitable to sell retail but is perfectly good otherwise. They also like to use me as a "guinea pig" for whenever they are trying out a new blend and need an unbiased opinion. Coffee is life. [/QUOTE]
