One time, some of the kids told my uncle they would watch his car for fifty cents. He paid up, thinking it was a shakedown, like paying protection money to the mob.
When he came back, he realized they were offering to WASH his car. He felt guilty that he didn't give them more money because they did a great job and it was cleaner than he had ever seen it.

I meant to say the squeegee kids make change if you don’t have small bills.
That’s great the kids did a quality wash.
