Zio Franco has finally paid

Two years and seven months after becoming my first customer, my uncle has paid an invoice. One month. €39.

He paid in cash, in an envelope, at Sunday lunch, in front of the whole family, and announced that he "believes in supporting young businesses".

I am 41.

Frame the envelope.

Cash a cheque from family the same day. Learned that in 1998.

Thirty months outstanding. Did you charge interest?

He charged ME. I paid for the lunch.

ZIO FRANCO!! A legend!! Does this go in the zero to one dollar thread?!

No. Family doesn't count. Rules are rules.

I was at the lunch. I can confirm the envelope. I can also confirm he asked for a receipt.

I have been here three weeks and I already know who Zio Franco is. This forum has a cast.
