Is it just me, or do others feel that some providers do not care if you come back to see them. Websters defines "provider" as –noun 1. a person or thing that provides. 2. a person who supports a family or another person.
I believe that if you are offering a service, no matter what that service is, you should have all of the elements needed to fulfill the service. For instance, you would not go to Burger King if they made you bring your own meat or buns.
I understand that in the "Hobby" world there are so many things available and so many different "things" people are into it may be hard to "have it your way". However, I think that a staple of the Hobby is condoms. I have, in the past found "providers" that "did not get to the store" even with 2 days notice for our appointment. Or, they did not have lube, again another staple.
I always confirm an appointment at least 12-24 hours in advance, then confirm an hour before. I think at this time, you should go to the store and get anything you need that is not in stock for the apointment. I do not like being asked to go to the store for you when I show up for the scheduled appointment.
And, if I ask if it is okay to bring adult beverages. Please inform me at that time of your drink of choice. I hate showing up with beer, because you said I could bring it, and then you ask me to go get you some wine. I was considerate enough to offer, please be considerate enough not to make me an errand boy.
I apologise for the rant, but I am in the "Hobby" to do the hobby, not to do your shopping.
I was just wondering how others felt about this. Please comment so I can know if it is just me.
