Me thinks you are a little myopic when it comes to the provider side of no-shows.

Having "job" accountability is a good thing for anyone because it helps keep us all a little bit more honest.

If a provider pulls a "no show" isn't she just as unprofessional as the hobbyist who does the same thing?

If I make an appointment and can't keep it for some reason I am on the phone in a hurry to keep my client or provider from wasting their time. As a professional similar to providers I sell my time.

If I take off to see a provider, I am giving up time that I could have billed a client.I may still be horny if the provider doesn't show but I have also lost valuable time that I could have billed and collected. I have also lost "money".

Rudeness is a part of life. Having accountability and the "concern" that someone will point a providers no-show record is just as valid as the ladies reporting a hobbyist who pulls a no-show.

I'm merely data basing while objectively answering these redundant policy questions from hobbyists who have incurred this type of loss.

2 hour round trip = approximately                 120 miles
Average time wasted waiting at destination      1/hour
17mpg average vehicle fuel consumption         7.058 gallons of fuel usesd

$3.00/gal average fuel price x 7.05                $21.17
Approx. hobbyist income = $30/h ( x 3) =     $90.00

Approximate hobbyist loss incurred =           $111.17

Two observations:

1) The provider loses nothing because the reason she no shows is she got a better deal, i.e. a multiple hour appointment.

2) Don't book Miki with an attitude like hers. She'd cancel in a heartbeat.

I had a damn good reason for it.  I had 2 guys book and the first called me from the SAME phone # as the 2nd gent I was supposed to see. So it did make me nervous so I decided the best thing to do was NOT see either of them. And of course I am NOT going to answer either call.

Sometimes there IS a reason for it NOT always but sometimes things happen that spook the provider and she will NOT answer the phone or respond to your calls.

wow, i know it sucks for any dude to flake on the girl, but nice attitude- remind me not waste my time with an appointment with you- i never flake- and i would expect the same in return

guess its all about what kind of mood you are in

Not in diapers.  Its faster.  Try it and you'll see.  Simple high school physics.
