How to deal with someone who pays you in BTC and only pays the absolute minimum fee so the transaction is going to take days?

Tell them they are beat until the payment arrives, or they can pay a bigger fee.

You can try to get those services which look for blocks and try to speed them up if it ever gets stuck, otherwise enjoy the 6h wait.

Dunno if links to websites outside of this one are allowed but if they arent remove it: https://www.viabtc.com/ 

It works if you have at least 0.1 mBTC fee per kilobyte. Supposedly they control 7% of the total hashing power so they should be able to speed it up for you if it gets stuck

Use ethereum fuck btc and their slow blockchain

New type of scam. If you pay a low enough fee your transaction will get chucked out of the chain when its backed up. Shoulda waited for 1 confirm.

use Ethereum.

How does one even fake a bitcoin transaction. I know you dont get the money until its verified, but how would someone even go about "faking" a transaction such that the verification fails and you don't receive the funds. Just wondering if its even possible.
