This type of behavior is one of my major hobby pet peeves. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've canceled on gentleman in the 7–8 years that I have been in the hobby. I've only canceled when I've had an extreme extenuating circumstance and it's completely unavoidable. In addition, I always offer some type of compensation for the inconvenience – usually an additional hour on the next date, gratis.
And I have never no called no showed. Never. It really annoys me when people lack basic respect for others.
