My point was if you book and the provider is there, ready to serve and you back out, you should pay up. SL said he took pictures of her...noticed blood then canceled the session, he should of at least paid for the pictures.But you do understand we ARE in fact talking about bait/switch/fraud right???
Of course I am not talking about bait/switch/fraud on the providers part, I'm referring to clients backing out after booking. If its the lady in the picture and you both agreed on a session, you should pay because she could of sold that time to someone else.
Junkweed, I ask for 12 hours cancel notice. Originally Posted by deerwhisperer

And I'm not certain that I would agree I'm owed for my time even if there wasn't a bait and switch, even if I've represented myself perfectly, been on time and the meeting started without a hitch. Should he walk in, not feel an natural affinity for me, not like my environment, gets an odd feeling, or doesn't the way I'm dressed, or any many other things that might not want to deal with, he has the right to leave and I don't feel entitled to an explanation or money for my time.
For example: In my real world I have a legit business which provides several services. I often see clients who have met me at business functions, through word of mouth, or have come across my website. I will meet these people for coffee, lunch or dinner at my expense and in every case they are at least somewhat familiar with my work and my experience, as I have provided them that information prior. They may meet me, like my work, have money allotted for my service and for whatever reason, just not bite. It's about a 30% attrition rate.
Do I chase them down the street yelling, "you owe me for my time AND that steak motherfucker!!!" No, even if that meeting time took away from work I could be doing for another client, because there is a certain cost to being an entrepreneur and certain costs one needs to be prepared to absorb. Why hookers don't understand this is a business whether they want to see it that way or not is beyond me. And the attrition rate for this one is waaay less than 30%. For me in this line of work it's 0%. If it so happens that a guy has gone through the trouble of booking and showing up on time and simply has hesitations about going through with the appointment, dust it off and let it go. It's not a big deal. There's usually another hard dick throbbing in the wings.
