Scheduled with a well known provider a week in advance. Confirmed appointment 48 hours in advance. Attempted to confirm the day of, but no response. Tried text, email, and phone calls a couple of hours before the appointment. No call, no show. Ok, stuff happens.
I sent an email the next morning asking if she was ok. She had totally forgotten our appointment due to a family emergency. I tell her no problem, can we schedule for the same time next week? She agrees. This time she responded to mid week and day of confirmation, so everything looks good.
I kind of half expected a small discount or extra time due to the missed appointment, but she didn't offer, and therefore being a gentleman I didn't ask.
A couple of hours before the appointment, she gives me the location of her in call. I arrive about 15 minutes early and call to let her know I am here. No answer to calls or texts. Uh-oh. At 10 minutes after, she texts and says she is running late. At 30 minutes after she says she is just now getting on the road. I go into the lobby to wait. At 40 minutes after she walks in, checks in at the front desk, we go to the room, and I put the envelope on the table. An envelope that I had counted at least three times to make sure the amount was correct.
She spends about 5 minutes getting ready, so in all, the appointment started 45 minutes late.
Had an ok session, mostly my fault as my piercings seemed to freak her out a little. Kind of unexpected as I did mention them in my P411 profile, and the lady had half a dozen herself, but I did not expressly say anything about them beforehand.
At the end of the session, she didn't point it out, but I noticed that I have gone over by 15 minutes. I apologize and leave $50 in addition to the original $300 on the way out. I had scheduled a one hour appointment, and the total time I was inside the room was an hour and 20 minutes, including the time it took her to get ready while I sat on the couch.
The next day I request an ok, and she responds asking if I left the right amount. I tell her I think so, but if I miscounted to let me know. She says I only left enough for one hour, but it is ok, she should have watched the time more closely. I tell her that's why I left the extra $50, but if she feels like that is not enough, let me know and I'll bring it right over. She declines to tell me an amount, and says I can give her what I think is right the next time we see each other, and gives me the ok.
I hate the idea of a woman thinking I have short changed her. Given the NC/NS, and the late start when we did meet, I thought a $50 tip would cover the extra 15 minutes, but I guess not.
I think I went above and beyond what was expected, but if I am in the wrong, I will make it up to her.
My question to you, ladies and gentlemen, is do I still owe her money like she says, and if so how much?
