[QUOTE=BoRegardHer;4372418]Because it screams mechanical service. There's nothing like setting a timer and having that in the back of your mind the entire time just wondering if you're going to manage before the beeping starts. There's a lot more cordial ways of keeping someone in their time without having them have to worry about an alarm going off. So the same person who sets the timer, if I pay for a hhr and I finish in 15, is she giving me half my money back? No. And I can guarantee 90% finish well before their allotted time. If someone happens to go a few minutes over call it makeup, but at the same time, she should have an internal clock or nonchalantly glance at their phone and if getting close find a tactful way of letting them know they need to finish soon. Now at the same time, a john shouldn't be paying for 30 and taking 45 either, but the timer is a no freaking way thing for any decent provider imo.[/QUOTE]I can see some of your points. For me if I got a hhr appointment I would just start going to town at the 25th minute.
