Barter system: Client to designer
Client: “That logo looks awesome, thanks! We’re going to go with that design.”
Me: “Great, I’ll put the high res files on a CD and drop it off to your office this afternoon, and you can write me a cheque for payment.”
Client: “Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that. We think that instead of “traditional” payment, we would like to put you on the Barter System.”
Me: “But you agreed to my costs weeks ago.”
Client: “Wouldn’t you like a new TV instead? We could get you one. Or maybe one of our other suppliers could fix your guttering or something?”
Me: ”I already have a TV, a new one isn’t going to feed my family. I think I’ll take a cheque as agreed.”
Client: “But the Barter System has been around, like, forever. You scratch my back, I scratch yours.”
Me: “Maybe I should try this Barter System. Tell you what, instead of paying me, you can come around to my house and cook me dinner every night for a month.”
Client: “…”
Me: “Hello?”
Client: ”So how much do I make the cheque out for?”
