I'd driven a good distance and had taken time from my day ... only to be blown off. Originally Posted by BIGGIEIts unfortunate it happened. Sad to say, its not all that uncommon in the hobby. I too live about 75-90 minutes drive away from the city where the providers in our area operate. Had so many cancel after I'd driven up to the city, I now make it part of my "routine" to PM/Text before I start the drive. If no response.. I don't start driving. Had a few providers contact me 10 minutes before the appointment saying.. "Are you ready"? I reply to them, since they didn't answer me, I didn't start driving and did they want to reschedule for 90 minutes later since it will take that long to drive up there... or I tell them we'll simply try again .. and move on.
And "move on" usually means.. I have the free time and the cash in my pocket so I contact another lady and see her so she gets the money the original just missed out on.
