This is the reason I was charging the area's going rate of .01. I assumed (yep.. it always gets ya) that since the going rate was common knowledge I believe she knew what she was agreeing to. I think she figured $80 was a lot of money and that I wouldn't charge above $50..!
This "religious sister" is probably short of funds after buying that many bottles of Crown Royal. That stuff is expensive.
