Reading the post below made me think of a question.  

How often has a provider flaked on you, then apologized and offered a discount and then the subsequent session just sucked so badly that you are left feeling like you should have just dropped it and called yourself lucky?

I've been doing this for almost 11 years and I can't even count how many times a provider, even the highly reviewed and rated ones, have flaked on me at the last minute leaving me sitting in a parking lot, texting and calling trying to figure out if the session is going to go forward or if I've been stood up yet again.  

Inevitably they seem to contact me back 30 to 45 minutes after the session with something reminiscent to "What happened baby? Where did you go?"  

Grrrrrrrrr........

In all this time whenever I've been offered a special for my trouble the makeup session has never been good. At this point when a provider flakes on me I permanently write her off the first time and just move on to the next.  

Whats your take
