And there is generally nothing scandalous about it: I pay someone to mown the lawn when I cannot be bothered to do it myself.
The problem is that one side of the deal is being exploitative on other levels. One day the gardener shows up and cuts your phone line, because now you can only use the phone company he likes; then every 10 minutes he tells you that he also does home renovations; one day he digs a trench so that the garden can be square, since he has decided he only works with square gardens; then he starts applying a surcharge if the grass grows too quickly. And so on and so forth. You could use another gardener, but there are only two of them in town and they both pull the same stunts.
