Local coffee shop.

My wife designed some ads and logos for them then they stuffed her when she asked for payment.

My wife is a creative. It’s insane how many people are totally comfortable with stiffing designers

Because it's not "real" work. You gotta get paid up front and put a limit on changes. You're either good, or you're not. Let the market sort it out, but don't work for free.
