Yes it is weird.  A restaurant in a neighboring town used to have me tune
their grand, every six months until a new resident pianist/tooner arrived on
the scene.  He tunes it when he feels it is necessary, but the restaurant
calls me in every year or so to give it a proper going over.  On both
occasions the piano has had to be cleared of cigarette butts and some rather
unorthodox repairs and adjustments redone.

Strange as it may seem to you, I don't have a real problem with this, and
all parties are happy.  It's a funny old world.
