I believe in always doing the right thing when being overpaid or undercharged. You gotta live with yourself first and foremost. If you have kids, they remember stuff like that. It goes to the core of who you are. In the case of the client that might want to skate on the waitress, tell the client what is. The truth only hurts for a minute. Lunch seldom seals the deal anyway, your product or service does. I know this all sounds ritchous but thats how it is in my house. As to recognizing you were over changed or underharged a day later or something, Just keep it to yourself and do the right thing the next time the opportunity presents itself in real time.


I would have a sever ethical conflict if I were undercharged for some stereo gear though.
