It gives me the space to settle in to the couch, so to speak. It seems like a lot of people here pay at the end of session though.
Yes, exactly - charging for an extra thirty seconds to a minute of their time is pretty ridiculous!

I also always pay at the beginning of my sessions. At the end I'm often all wrapped up in whatever we've been discussing, sometimes very emotional, and I tend to be distracted by it and forget, which can lead to awkwardness. I like to get the practical stuff done first so I can relax into the session.

ETA: I've just realised that perhaps you misinterpreted me as saying that AllHeart's statement was ridiculous, when in fact I was intending to agree with them that charging for the time taken to process a card is over the top!
Thanks for this!
