I'm simply saying as an outside viewer, I wouldn't say anything that the business owner and I discuss about a client, to the client...I'd let the business owner speak for himself.  Otherwise you get into the issue of "man my tuner is talking shit about me to other people, fuck I guess I'll take my business elsewhere".  Not saying that's the case here, just stating sometimes you have to think about the client's feelings and trust.  B/c in the end, they're the ones who decide whether or not to go to your place of business.
