I have a 4 hour boking tomorrow which means it will X hundred and ten pounds.
Should I ask for the extra tenner or does that look like I am a money grabber? The extra payment is a pro rata hourly payment for extras which takes it over, hence the odd amount.
If he does turn up (and he seems genuine enough) then I would be happy with x hundred.
Advice please.

Personally i would just charge the x00. For four hours you should be getting a decent enough fee so missing out on ?10 is nothing really. He will probably think you're wonderful for giving him a discount!!
-
I'd see if he gives the tenner if not ask! X

I'd see if he gives the tenner and if he doesn't just leave it.. ;)

I'd still expect it. If he rounds the payment off to the nearest hundred that is plain cheeky' unless he's checked that's ok with you first. If he grumbles about it 'being only a tenner' then say 'well seeing as it's only a tenner you won't mind paying it'.

The price is the price. I don't "round down" my gas bill (obviously I'd love to, but business is business)
I think if someone grumbled or asked to round down i would think they were joking and just laugh. I'd be pretty shocked tbh. My cigarettes are?7.04, 4p is a tiny amount but I pay it without question

Why would he not bring the correct fee?

Some ask for change. I don't give change usually though

True, it's just coz the OP wasn't sure if she should ask for the extra tenner or round it off, I didn't quite understand if that was the agreed price or where the tenner came from, but it's up to her at the end of the day and whatever she thinks is right and is comfortable with :)

I think you just have to decide which outcome, you personally, would prefer. If you're really not bothered by the extra ?10 then don't ask for it! But playing through the scenarios - would you mention the discount beforehand? This could certainly put you in his good books but what if he returns, or becomes a regular? He might continue with the assumption that your rates can be rounded down.
Or if you're just waiting to see how much he'll give, my concern would be, regardless of whether you care for the extra ?10 or not, would you want the sort of client who thinks its alright to just pay less because the cost is an inconvienent figure??
But as the other ladies said - this is more a matter of personal preference and what you feel comfortable with :)

Thanks girls, this is all done now. I just took all the money (of course!)

Haha, happy to hear it all went well ;)

I have a 4 hour boking tomorrow
I guess you meant to say a '4 hour booking' but my mind couldn't help reading it as a '4 hour bonking'.

That's funny. We should perhaps call them 'bonkings' and not 'bookings.' ;D
