Overheard a guy at the cafe say he never pays deposits
He was bragging about how he gets work started by saying 'I'll pay you when it's done, that's how I build trust.' My takeaway is if someone refuses a standard deposit, they're probably planning to refuse the final payment too. Anyone else run into this 'trust' line before?

That "trust" line is a huge red flag. I had a client use it on me once for a small design job, and then they ghosted after I sent the files. It just feels like a trick to get free work.

Classic move. He's basically asking for an interest-free loan of your time and skill. Next he'll probably say paying taxes is just a suggestion to build community spirit. That "trust" line is the same energy as "exposure bucks" for artists.
