Took 6 months to get paid by a client who kept saying 'the check is in the mail'
Had a client back in 2021 who hired me to do a full brand identity for their new coffee shop in Austin. Logo, menus, signage, the whole package. Did the work, sent the invoice, and then the waiting game started. Every two weeks I'd email them and they'd say 'oh yeah, it's coming, the check is in the mail'. Six months of that. Finally had to show up at their shop with a printed invoice and stand there until they wrote me a check on the spot. Has anyone else had to physically confront a client to get paid?
