Like Mother Like Daughter
[QUOTE=Mystcfr1973;3954358]Guys avoid this one. I was curious awhile back. Only did a half hour. Just talked. I treated it like a bad interview. Came up with some excuse as to why I wasnt going further than that. She did offer a discount on a return visit. Should have asked for.
A refund. I wished her well and I left. There are better out there. Please please please have some level of preference higher than her.[/QUOTE]Like mother, like daughter. I know her daughter is well known to be a good provider. YMMV so that can be it, but she's a clockwatcher.
Hey, so this is what happened.
Well, a monger told me to reach out to her. I had a little time. She wanted a pic, that's strike one and a big no no, but I knew people raved about her. Sent a pic we set at 1:30. We set the time guarantee I'm going to be there. She sent a message an hr and a half before about am I sure that I'm coming. I didn't respond cause I was still at work and didn't see it. An hr before our appt, she sends a message saying that I'm going to no show and why did I make an appt. That's not cool. Blah blah.
I saw the message at 12:45. I sent a message like, "woah, where this coming from? We already set the time, it's not even close to the time. I don't no show and that's not my M. O. So then she sends a message, "hey, I knew that, sorry I just like to keep a time schedule. ".
Ok cool, I get that, but 45 minutes before? Already having bad feelings, so then she tells me to GPS McKee rd. It's 18 minutes from where I was. So I'm like, cool I got time. She says her street is off that road. Then when I had all the way down I get to McKee rd. Told me to ask for the address when I get there, she gave it to me, it's another 18 minutes from the spot where the GPS is. She say she's lives in Toney, she must live on the outskirts cause she was more towards Athens.
Granted I'm keeping her in the loop of everything going on. Pulled up. Got a phone call, handled it. Got myself together and knocked on the door. I came in at 1:57. Apologized for how long it took me, here's the kicker.
I asked her, did I cause an issue with the time with other appointments, she said out of her mouth, she didn't have anyone else to see, I was the only one scheduled with her. Said nothing of anything coming up. So I'm thinking ok, we cool.
So we chatted small talk, getting to know each other. Seeing who we're dealing with. She telling me about who has what and who not to see, who is a bad provider, what she likes, things like that. The normal get to know process.
So we talked and neither has made a move. I kinda lay close just to see what will happen. She still sits there. Now granted, I'm thinking we clicking and she's a cool person. It gets to 2:25, and she's like " oh, look at the time. " We was like wow, so I say "well, shall we get started?
Here's where it went downhill. She states " well it's already 30 mins, and you pay for time not activities, and I have my kids coming home from school. (Never heard about anything of what time the kids were coming).
So I ask so when are the kids coming, "she said, they're on there way, check her phone and said, they're here right about now. So I said, so what do we do? She said, "well, we had our 30 minutes".
So I asked, so I have to pay 140? She said yep. I looked at her shocked. I bit my lip, handed her the money, and she knew that was shady, cause if you felt right, why are you apologizing to Me? Told her that really stings and this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. She again, apologizes and I left.
She sent me a message that's she sorry.
So I send her a message of how I felt. Granted, I took fault in the time, she never told me about when her kids coming. I could have rescheduled or got everything Over with so then she can meet her time.
Honestly, I believe she used this to her advantage and clockedwatched me and blew the whistle at the end of the hhr. She said my time started as soon as I walk inside. I know a lot of good providers who don't clockwatch like that.
Now I understand providers must clockwatch to make sure you don't go overboard. That's a given, but not like this. I didn't get anything, I paid to have a conversation and it cost me to be in her presence. Then lied to me that it wasn't me and enjoyed our conversation and liked me. No, be honest, YMMV me. How do I know this? Cause the other clients said they never experienced this with her. But Me? Wow. I get it. I'm not the most appealing guy. She likes older guys and I'm not everyone taste. Understandable. That why I ask questions to see if there's a connect. The early warning signs should have told me to not go through with this, but I learned a $. 40 lesson. I take my part in my error in this for being late, but the rest? No, she clockwatched me.
So in conclusion, if you're the type that doesn't like talking, come in do your business and leave. She's perfect. You need to start as soon as you walk in the door. Everything you do before hand is costing you time and opportunity.
So it's very comical and ironic you brought up her mother, cause the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Then tell me I can come back but have to pay another rate. So you're right. I paid for an interview. Have to pay for the job next.
