Hi, i have been in business for 2.5 years now in a performance/ custom shop, i hired my first employee in january. he recently had an aquentaince that he told we would give discount pricing to without asking me.

I then sent him the invoice, charging eveerything at full price becasue i dont know this guy and he has 0 signifcance in my life.

I also cahrged the customer 1.5 hours of our shop rate for all the leg work we had to do specifically for this jjob (we norrmally dont order these parts so its not like its the same)

i did not want to let teh $95/hr shop rate cut into my profits that already arent amazing.

my employee confronted me about it saying he was disgusted i ddint give him a discount.

Why is it my job to give someone i dont know from adam a discount for my time?
it baffles me that people i do not know expect me to give them discounts.

what do you guys do?

EDIT:

i did bill the customer full price that why this issue is being dealt with.

i offer discounts to my employees and my family.
