Question Have you ever experienced this?

I noticed someone working in my area and I needed some hedge trimming. So I asked him if he could do it. He said yes, and the price was reasonable. He did a good job and I gave him cash. The bill I gave him was bigger than the price he was charging.

He looks at it and asks, "do you know you gave me this much?" I said, "yes." He didn't ask me if I wanted change and I didn't tell him to keep the change. But that's exactly what he did. He just kept the change. It's not that he wasn't worth it, it just seems strange that he would do that. If he wanted more money for his work, he could have just asked for more to begin with.

What do you think?
