Yeah, I'm no fun at all, but how disgusting.

Its a bit gross, I wouldn't expect any of my crew to touch that stuff, I'm up for having a laugh with it but I wouldn't make or expect anyone else touch it. Justified on the charge I reckon and handing the car back, I reckon customer would be mortified
Before cars go into workshop, its awfully nice if we're not digging through your car full of personal artifacts to fix things or find stuff, particularly boot is a good one.
I've seen some weird and wonderful stuff in customers cars, probably most notable thing was a rifle - which I imagine is a big no-no for people with firearms licences.
We had an
incident with female underwear, that one of the guys ended up putting on his head in the middle of the workshop
They called a meeting and management cracked the shits over it big time because customers could see into the workshop and we've got one of the lads with customers underwear over his face.
By the end of it, got to the point where we couldn't even have Zoo magazines in our lunch room (who remembers those?).

The guy doing the work is probably on $30/hour, the rest is covering overheads, rent is a killer on workshops - $160/hour is pretty fair I reckon, with commercial leases you're also responsible for all the landlords outgoings too like rates and all sorts of stuff.
