Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Mike Andes about lawn-mowing pricing. Mike says he never gives customers an hourly or per-minute rate because customers compare it to their job earnings; he instead charges per job (example: $40 to mow a lawn done in 20 minutes, which he frames as $120/hour). The excerpt also records a customer objection to high price (“I'm not paying no $300”).

$40

20 minutes

$120 per hour

$80 or $100 an hour

$300

I'm not paying no $300. This is bull.
I'm never going to give my hourly rate or per minute rate to the customer. They're comparing it against what they're making at their job, and they think it's crazy that I'm charging 80 or 100 bucks an hour to mow their grass when reality, I'm going to do it three times faster than them. So, yeah, it's going to cost you 40 bucks to mow your grass. You're like, that's awesome. I'm going to do it in 20 minutes. That's $120 an hour.
