That customer who watched me work for 2 hours and then asked if it was done yet

Had a walk-in at my bench in Denver last Thursday, older guy with a Dell laptop that wouldn't boot past the logo. I diagnosed a failing drive, swapped in a new SSD, and spent almost two hours cloning his old data and checking the install. He just stood there the whole time, no questions, no coffee break, and then goes 'so is it fixed yet' while I'm literally running a final chkdsk. Do other techs just tell people to come back, or am I the only one who lets them hover like that has anyone else dealt with this?

Wondering if you charged him for the full 2 hours or if you just ate that time. Cause standing there watching you work kinda feels like he was getting a free show.
