I give the customer the price for the total job. I don't break it down by labor & materials. I show them the price and have them sign that they accept the price before I start any work. When I go out to dinner I see the price on the menu if I order it I have agreed to the price. I don't care how much they marked up the steak and it isn't any of my business. I don't ask to see a breakdown of how much the labor was to prepare the steak and how much the steak costs. If I don't like the price I don't have to buy it.
