Cancellation etiquette?

[Ms.Lolita Monroe]

you know you're the one paying $200+ for less than hour of their time right?

That doesn't entitle someone to be a jerk and hurt someone's feelings when it can be avoided. Going in with an attitude that I am the one paying so I will treat her like a piece of meat will never be a rewarding experience IMHO.

Not sure if this has been mentioned..but how about the reverse situation?...You book with an SP and you are Client B to her..not her favorite but you will do in a pinch. Now 10-15 mins before you arrive to see this SP, client A calls (her preferred client) he is booking a longer session, she likes him...etc...so guess what she calls/texts/emails you to say...oh sorry I got my period, family emergency...or some other bs excuse I have heard in the past..and now you are screwed. Yes she spared your feelings by not saying..."oh my regular just called me...sorry hun but I really would rather see him..it's more money after all...bye!!" But does that make it any better?..

Perhaps BHB should have had more tact and come up with some lame ass excuse to SP B to spare her feelings but how about when the shoe is on the other foot?...It's ok for an SP to lie to us for the same reason..or if she told the truth she would be just as much a bitch/asshole we are painting BHB to be?....Food for thought

I do not think that has been addressed yet rockinbods35, but it is a interesting and valid point.
Personally, I know they are a regular so they will call back to book (if need be). That is why they are a regular, because they only come to see ME! Regulars can be understanding and adjust their schedule to work with you. I would never cancel an appointment on someone unless I was suddenly very ill or my landlord came by unexpectedly.

I don’t think it matters either way.
If a Pooner decides to better deal himself from A to B or an SP decides to bump and unknown or un-favoured regular for someone she prefers.
It's the same thing.

Just go with Work/Traffic/Family/Whatever, but don’t say:
“I got someone better than you so maybe the next time I’m unlucky and want to slum it I’ll give you a call”

And it is my understanding that Pooners, on a review board, having the power to blackmail and intimidate an SP often forget that they (SPs) also communicate between each other and a Black listing with one lady could remove half of the ladies she knows from your options list.

Who says that Plan A and Plan B aren’t the best of friends in real life?

Ha ha. Well said LIJ. Some ladies also share a space so there is even a chance that they are sitting right next to each other!

so I know how you're supposed to cancel if you can't make it but I've had this situation occur a couple times:

-call preferred SP to book, she says she's not available for another couple hours.

-Call back up SP, she says she's available, tell her you'll call her back in 10 mins to confirm (incase SP #1 changes mind).

-Preferred SP calls you back and says she can see you right away.

-Call back up SP and tell her you can't make it.

I hate not calling the back up SP because she would probably block my number and I wont be able to see her in the future. Hows a good way to go about dealing with this?

This happened to me yesterday and the back up SP went ape shit when i told her I can't make it because I had just booked with another SP. Sent me a novel long text telling me her life story and how I should be a ashamed etc.

Or it shows that you think you are clever by reading her postings and doing exactly what bothers her. A testament to character flaw
