Reasons You Get Shorted On Time
[QUOTE=USABarry;6654136]OTOH we are also people seeking good service for our money and not assembly line parts. Treat me with respect and provide what I want and I'll reciprocate. I've tapped the clock when shorted and confronted about a lesser activity fee paid at the end. Explaining that we started here and I paid for us to end here so the cover charge is less. Mama can refund it with the remaining balance of the time or room usage charge. I got 3 blinks and a smile with a come see me again request as she led me to the door. It's a equal opportunity situation. Equal pay for equal play.[/QUOTE]In no order:
1. Provider honestly doesn't remember when she started the service.
2. Provider doesn't like you (for god's sake please be clean and kind and respectful).
3. Provider is bored and wants to be done.
4. Shop is busy and provider knows she has another customer waiting.
5. Shop is busy and provider wants to eat / use the restroom / attend to other personal things.
6. Provider is not very good at her job / lazy.
7. Provider is not very good at Engrish and can't communicate with you well.
8. Provider is in a bad mood, not having a good day for some reason etc.
We should always treat providers with respect for their job and we should expect exactly the same in return.
We should also respectfully remind them, if necessary, that our expectations are for what we paid for. Sometimes we are horny and want to roll over early and finish long before time has expired, and sometimes we are ready to leave after that. Other times, we want our full 60 minutes. Just communicate that with your provider and if you get any pushback, ask for mama. Kindness (and generosity!) does go a long ways in solving these kinds of problems.
