ladies.....and gentlemenssss

Correct me if I am wrong, but if a client refuses to pay your rates and spends hours through texts trying to bargain and treat you like a swap meet. You not only never see them again, but you do not give them a good reference. Am I the bad guy for telling a provider what this client is really like. I feel like you pay what the provider asks, or you find another provider and not try and guilt them into only paying next to nothing. He wants a 30 min bbbjnqns for 60 dollars when my half hour rate is 100 and don't even do bbbjnqns for any appt under 1 hour and that's if I know and like them which is a select few. I want men and women's opinions.

You are a great provider - so provide what you want, to whom you want, on whatever terms you want. Tell everyone else to take a leap. You don't have to accept any disrespect and you are certainly free to tell others when some low life tries to misuse you. This site is for communication within the hobby, and if someone can't accept that, then they should leave here.

I agree with BMM. I never balk or haggle with a provider. Pay up or move on, quickly.

So...you're not wrong in telling the provider he could potentially try to haggle/bother for a lesser rate later on. If a former good client is exhibiting bad behavior you should be honest with the provider inquiring and then it's up to her to decide what she does with any info given. If he's worried about continuing to get a good reference maybe he shouldn't act like such a twat.
