Some will offer you additional time at the same donation,...

But I wouldn't expect her to reduce her fee. Could be wrong though.

A provider cancelled on me today. Never happened to me before. Our time and date was agreed to on Friday and $$$$, not a discount provider.  She flew in from the West Coast yesterday and asserted that she got in late and the time change threw her off.  Since I was the first appointment and she was behind, she bumped me.  So, lets assume thats reasonable, what should she do now?  

I know I have a lot of other options at $$$$.

Apologize! Then do what ever it takes to make it up to you! I understand your frustration! I really do not like to be "bumped" i.e. "cancelled"
It happens to us all. Sorry to hear it happened to you! Good luck next time.

Did she offer to reschedule you?  I've had to cancel sessions due to illness, and have asked clients to reschedule with me.  I might give you extra time at the end of your session should you choose to reschedule, but I wouldn't reduce my rate.

I think we are all on the same page.  She apologized but has not made an effort to reschedule.  If she calls great, if not, life goes on.  Lot of great Chicago ladies!

I should note, that i recently messed up my scheduling in a really bad way and totally missed an incall by not being at the space.  He decided to take a chance and reschedule with me, and I offered him a lower rate because I messed up so badly and wanted to make it up to him.  I hate having my time wasted and honestly feel guilty when I do it to others.  If i really fuck things up, I do what I can to fix the problem.  If it's an act of god like being sick or flights being delayed, I'd be more apt to add more time for the rescheduled session rather than lower my rate.

Speaking as someone who recently had something like this happen to me, all is forgiven by an apology, an offer to reschedule, and a little extra time on the back-end (I mean that figuratively _and_ literally.)

I would think you're used to having your expectations cancelled.

I could add on some smack but being from STL results speak for themselves

As a provider, I do my best to never ever cancel. I started to say Never, but you can't really say never can you. But I can't recall a time within the past year in which I have found a reason good enough to cancel. It is frustrating enough when people cancel on me, so I do my best to keep my word. If I say I'm gong to be somewhere, you can bet I'll be there. Now- every once in a while, I may have to move things around.  

But then again, this is my home city. If I was traveling, I can't say that I could keep the same kind of attitude. Some things are out of your control.  

I'm sure the lady did not want to cancel on you, and if she ever comes back I would try to see her again. Did she offer anything to make it up to you? If I had to cancel on someone I would definitely offer them something to make up for it. Whether it is 50$ off or an extra half hour or something. But not everyone runs their business like this.

The only time I've had to cancel was well in advance when I was touring and had to nix the entire trip because I was in an accident (bike + snow, y'all, don't do it!). I did have to cancel an appointment here in Chicago, too, but, that person has since not reached out to me, though he was very understanding.

That said, if I did have to cancel last minute, again, I'd feel horrible, and definitely offer extra time to make up for it. I'm a woman of my word, always, and as someone who deals with a lot of cancellations here and in my other work, I know how horrible it feels to get your hopes up and have them let down with little warning. It sucks, I don't want anyone to think of me and think "that sucked," so, I do my best to always be present and on time.  

Unless I get hit by a car again, then all bets are off.

Twice in the last few months I've had a date and time agreed to and then silence.  Shit happens and if she can't do the appointment that's fine, but it's common courtesy to communicate that and in fact I've had providers do exactly that so I know it's not impossible :-).  Although being blown off is annoying it's not really a terrible problem; I don't attempt any further communication, I just move on and won't ever try to re-book with her...if I did I'd be going into the appointment thinking about being blown off and I'd almost certainly have a shitty time, which isn't good for either of us.  There are too many great providers out there for me to put up with having my time and energy wasted.
