Customer Pricing Materials

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it.

Customer wants a simple flower bed done. Found all of the prices at Lowes + Home Depot herself. She wants to just buy them herself and then give me the receipt to go pick them up.

I mark up materials even when I buy them at retail stores in order to cover travel time, taxes, etc... When my business has grown in size I certainly will not be doing this type of thing, and I don't want to start with her. How do you all go about this type of thing?

Just charge for the pick up and delivery of the materials, not a problem and it will continue to happen even when you do get bigger.

Now sometimes these same customers want to be in the yard and watch over you when you do the work and that is almost always a problem.
