Shop Supply Fee

cooks

do any of you charge a shop/supply fee to your jobs for normal everyday use items. Or do you just add them in for specific jobs. I ask this because normally i just do it per job but i was thinking that it may be easier charging a percentage of the materials price. I just thought of this because i got a bill from a mechanic and they charge a 6% for shop supplies with a max amount if it is a large bill. what do you do or think on doing it like this

It's part of overhead. You can show it or not show it, but it's coming out of your pocket one way or another.

I think the only upcharge clients won't object to right now is a fuel surcharge. Everybody understands what's going on at the gas pumps.
