Sent bill, no payment...visited site yesterday to collect and was told I chipped driveway with edger (driveway is full of cracks, lawn full of garbage...no chips in driveway), we ran over her squash she had planted in garden (couldn't tell the garden from the lawn). There was zero evidence of squash...no chopped up plants or even cut off stems.

If you choose to go above and beyond, make sure it's a regular customer...you will simply get screwed in the end it seems.

The good thing about this no pay customer above is that they just opened a restaurant in town...I plan to order about $85 worth of food and complain about it...deny paying for it.

Be sure to give the waitress or waiter a cash tip... they didn't rip you off; just saying.
