This isn't to call anyone out, or even debate whether it should ever happen. Life happens to all of us.
For what ever the reason, if you unfortunately have had this happen (or if you've have even contemplated what you would do if it were to happen in the future), how did/would you handle it with the client afterward?
1). Text "Sorry about that, my mother/brother/kid called and I had to run because X." Leave it at that and go on about your business.
2). Text "I'm sorry about that baby, let me make it up to you by..."
3). Block the clients number before he can even call and act like they don't exist
4). ?
5). ?
It would seem that even the newest of providers would realize that loosing clients is bad and they would want to prevent a bunch of negative comments in future reviews and NC/NS posts that will pull up on every search in the future.
