Cheapskates

I was talking this week with Sam, a friend of mine. He was "complaining" that he has all the cheapskates customers. His customers don't want to pay for the 14x14 or 16x20 prints. So I started asking where he gets his photography clients. Many of his clients came from his wife, Airin. Airin is a "barterer". She loves to barter. Barter is exchanging good or services without using money and the keyword is exchanging and not the word paying.

Sam doesn't barter but many of his photography customers do. It turns out that he promotes, actually his wife, at places where cheapskates congregate. A cheapskate is a cheapskate. a cheapskate doesn't pay for things that are not a necessity. A cheapskate pride themselves on being cheap and how little money they paid for ... including photography.
