Several years ago we were on our way home from a camping trip. When we were within 5 miles of home, we stopped at a local grocery store and a group of kids from the high school were having a car wash. The truck and trailer were deplorably dirty. I pulled up and everyone looked at me with utter horror. Bu their sponsor came over and talked to me. I asked him what the going rate was a car, and he said, $5.00. I said, what would you charge for truck and trailer. He thought for a moment and then said, Well, I guess it's 2 vehicles, so ... $10.00 for both. I said WONDERFUL! The entire group went to town. Buckets of water, wash cloths, hoses, they had a step ladder for the high spots on the camper, slosh, splash, spray, and it was done, both ... in about 10 minutes!
Meanwhile, I'd been talking to my wife about this situation and decided because they were raising money (some event in school now, I can't remember) why not help these kids about a bit.
When they were done, he had us inspect their work. We were all happy. And I handed him $50 cash rolled up in a wad. Jumped in the truck and started up the engine. About that time he came running back with the money flying in his hand, Hey WAIT! You gave us too much! I responded out the window ... Keep it! You guys did a great job! You need all the help YOU can get too!
So, next time you see a car wash ..... well .... you might consider this alternative!
