I`ve had this happen by someone who has asked on more than one occasion. This is a friend of my father`s and a person who really took advantage of me when I was a teenager. I agreed to put a fence up for them and after a week`s work ended up getting nothing out of the job (it`s been 25 years but I still remember). I know that they have no intention of paying anything for my work and they don`t take care of their car to begin with. This is a person who usually doesn`t have the time to say hi to me unless they need something. I just smile and say I can be had but I`m not cheap. The trick here is to do it without actually looking at the person (just keep working). When they realize that they may have to blow the cob webs off of their wallet they stop and think about what they may be asking. It doesn`t go any further than this.
