You won't know until you discuss it...and you really should discuss it beforehand. You cannot do a business transaction unless you are comfortable. and it may take MANY conversations until you are comfortable...it is your decision. people may SEEM okay in the beginning but you don't know their motives until you ASK!
I hope you don't take my post as bad...actually, this is the first advice I have given on here in a month or so! I really do hope this works out for you!

I do plan on talking to her about our little "partnership" when we meet up for the delivery. I also talked with the mother of the bride who is my mother's good friend where I met this caterer and she said they were good and honest people. I think I may have overreacted a bit.
That's why I have all of you! It's much better to overreact with you guys and get put in my place so to speak than do it with a client!
Thanks for all the great advice.......YOU GUYS ROCK!

IF you don't call you'll never know! THEN you might possibly be able to strike a deal! There is nothing wrong with calling her back! she may just realize that she can trust you and then you guys will be partners in the long run....IF you DON"T call her back then I know she is thinking "that was easy and I could do it again!" ( then you will be walked all over every time she calls)
So, those are the choices...I think you should call her back!
