I need to vent, so I do not tell a existing client, no thanks, I do not want your business.
Here is my propsal, keep in mind, I normally charge about $16.99 per for this meal.
Food :
The Simply Marvelous Sandwich Buffet
200 adult guests @ $12.75 per $2550.00
40 kid meals @ $8.00 per $320.00
Dessert:
Brownies and Blondies @ $2.00 per $ 280.00
Watermelon Slices @ $1.00 per $ 240.00
Subtotal $3390.00
CA Sales Tax (.0875) $ 296.63
Gratuity (18%) $663.59 (waived)
TOTAL OF CONTRACT: $3686.63
Client tells me after making concessions that the job is between me and another company. I do not have the time to play "Priceline." I was under the impression this job was in the bag, I started booking staff for this event. I also expected the check in the mail today; I hate coming out of my pocket for gigs.
If this person did not help me when I starting out, I would flat out decline the gig, but I am willing to be patient until 3p, PST.
Just needed to vent before I lose my cool.:roll: :tape:
