Friday afternoon I made contact with a highly reviewed provider for a two hour outcall session today (Saturday) at 10 am. I was told to call her later in the evening to give her the directions. I left two messages, the last one saying I would call her at 9 am to confirm and give directions if I did not hear from her that night. I heard nothing and called again on Saturday morning and left another message, again no response.
What does a John do? Bash her on the board? I can't write a review because I have not seen her. I think the men who support this form of entertainment deserve more respect. I understand that all appointments cannot be met, but a phone call would be more than appreciated. This is the second time it has happened with her. Send me a message if you want her name.

A large shrimp should realize what a big inconvenience this conduct creates when you take in account time spent arranging and planning and at the point of no call and no show it's to late salvage piece of mind. You took one for the team so let the members know who so someone else doesn't make the sacrifice you did???
Yeah, that's what this board is for. Out her.
ANASTASIA!!!!!

I have seen Anastasia twice and had great experiences. In fact, the first time she even called me to say she hit some traffic and would be 10-15 minutes late. HOWEVER, this was several months ago before she built up such a following. I think she has more Johns calling her than she knows what to do..thus less attention on customer service. I think she is one of the best values in the twin cities but as there is a difference between shopping at Marshalls and Marshall Fields, you take the good with the bad.
We should all band together and agree not to support this provider or this type of behavior. There are over 300 providers in the Twin Cities, we don't need her.
Here is a case where everyone has to decide individually.I don't know what happened this time on her end, but I do know how frustrating a no show no call can be. Having said that, I know Anna, I like Anna, and I would never hesitate to arrange another appointment with her as she is a great person and worth it. YMMV
If these ladies insist on being treated like professionals they must act like professionals. To often our time has no value to them and it will continue unless we act as a unit. A phone call is all we ever ask!
Thanks Doorjammer, this has really pissed me off.
Had the exact same thing happen to me when she first started. Set up appt. Showed up. She was still "asleep" and I could see her in half hour she just needed time to get ready. I waited, called back after the alloted time. She said she was stuck in traffic. WTF. I thought she was just at the hotel and needed to freshen up. I waited another half hour. Still a no show. Multiple calls went unanswered and she doesn't return vm. I decided to say screw this and cut my losses. I ended up hooking up with a much more reliable/dependable provider the next day and will see her as long as I can.
That's just my opinion I could be wrong.
THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE SEE I TRAVEL TO MINNESOTA FOR WORK AND PLEASURE BEFORE I LEAVE I TRY TO PUT ALL MY DUKS IN A ROW BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS AND 1 NO SHOW PUTS A BIG DAMPER ON MY SCHUDLE AND TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER PROVIDER IS DIFFICULT THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO SCHUDLE A WELL KNOWN PROVIDER SAID I WAS CONTACTING TO MANY AND DIDNT THINK WE SHOULD MEET LETTING SOMEONE NO IS ALLRIGHT BUT SHOULD THEY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING IN SETTING UP ANOTHER APPOINTMENT OR RECOMEND ANOTHER PROVIDER.
I have always tried to be patient with the ladies, its a tough business, but enough is enough. "see ya later". Funny, none of the other ladies has responded to this thread. Is this the norm???

I think it's a difficult position for a provider to be in. It's safer to stay on the sidelines than to commit to one side or the other.
To me, it's really a pricing issue, and I don't think the gals understand that. Somehow the prices have crept up over the last few years, and 300-350 has become fairly normal. But with that increase in price comes drastically increased expectations on our part, and it is frustrating for me when I see guys being accused of being unfair.
As a provider, if you're not interested in providing top-end service, then don't set the bar so high by charging top-end prices. You don't buy a Lexus because you want to get jacked around on a loaner car when it's time for repairs. You pay more in return for a much higher level of service.
To be honest, the recent increase in stand-ups by well-reviewed local regulars has really tarnished my interest in the hobby, it's happened to me a lot in the last year. In fact, it has all but eliminated any outcall-only girls from my list because I've gotten stuck with the room $$$ too many times.
So on one hand, I say let Anna have it. But on the other hand, she hasn't jumped on the 300 bandwagon with everybody else, has great reviews and very few rules, and doesn't post "optimistic" photos of herself, and thus deserves a lot more lee-way than most others. It's a tough one.
Lets keep this thread going and out all the nonreponsive women out there. This is not a cheap "hobby" and we as contributors definitely have our rights to some accountabilty from the ladies out there. Care to respond LADIES?
I certainly am not afraid to post on this - I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate before.
I don't know Anastasia or anything about her, so I will not comment on that, but I will say that I know it is very frustrating for no call/no shows for myself, and I can imagine it is equally upsetting to all of you.
I certainly don't blame you for "outing" her on here, this board is for free exchange of information, and I would be upset as well. The unfortunate part is we don't have a similar outlet for the NSNC clients other than talking to each other about it, and that sometimes doesn't cover enough to where it won;t happen again and again and again......
I personally don't know what could happen to make a provider forget/blow off an appointment, this is a business after all.... one that you all spend a lot of hard earned money on, and I don't think that should be taken lightly. In my opinion customer satisfaction is the most important issue, and if someone can't make it a phone call would be nice - from either side.
Thanks Amber for your input.

I have seen Anna a number of times. As stated before she is the BEST Value for the $$. I am sure there was a logical explanation as to what happened. I have never had any issues with her and would not hesitate to schedule another with her.
It is your right as a consumer to not take your business there if you feel put out. I agree with there should be a high level of professionalism on BOTH sides. Treat otheres as you would like to be treated.
I agree on all counts. Common curteousy is the very least we should expect from ourselves and others, not just in this business but in life.
Thanks Red, one simple phone call would have prevented this BS.

Amber made very valid points. Sometimes providers can become burnt out, and when we do, it usually reflects on our performance. This may not be the case in your situation, and certainly does not excuse the performance. I've been there, not actualy blown off a scheduled appointment, but been burnt out to the point that I seem to fall off the face of the planet and ignore the internet and phone.
It does happen on both ends though, which doesn't make it any better or any worse for either of us, but know that most of us have been in the same boat at one time or another.
BTW, there IS a place to out NS/NC clients, (as well as harmful clients, and good clients), it's on "the other board." What's nice is it's a national thing, so you can check on these things, no matter where you travel to.
Okay this is to Jumbo and doorjammer.. first let me address Doorjammer.. you HAD an impeccable record with me until the last time.. then when we miss communicated you sent me a very disrespecful email. Now I WAS STUCK WITH A HOTEL on your account and there was nothing I could do with it or did I even ask you to compensate me for it.. I would have appreciated a email response to mine. SO PLEASE everyone out there... know there is always another side.. NOW if anyone remembers my thread awhile back about a provider standing me up.. you will know that Anna did it to me.. on a threesome.. well I understand everyone's pain on the subject of getting stood up.. so Jumbo.. it happens.. it happens even with good providers.. but I would not call Anna a TOP provider. She is middle ground and probably is taking as many as she can and leaves the rest that she can't handle in the dust like you because she overbooks.. so this has been a great thread ...it helps providers and clients both be better in booking and keeping appointments because it means so much on both sides. Keep smiling everyone... it is just life, this is all there is.. so make it a better world by not fighting

Too bad she can't read this, I don't believe she has access to the net. Thanks everyone for your input.
I agree that this is gone on far too long, is this a record post or what?
