Am I nuts or just a chump
So, I was anxiously waiting to see a provider who only works 2 days a week. I won't use the name, not because I am a jerk, but because she has glowing reviews here and elsewhere. It seems I am the only person who has had issue with her. She is beautiful and reviews abound about how sweet and attentive she is. I was dying to see her and once our schedules meshed up, not without some issues. She advertised half hours, but told me she didn't and then banned me for "cancelling" on her when we never had a set time. But I digress, that's not what this post is about.
So I drive to the location. I wait over 30 minutes and she txts me many times that the previous client was obese and she is sick. I say,"no problem" when can I reschedule? She says 9. I say okay. She then txts me later that she canceled her whole schedule and that she would make it up to me. Lots of texts about how sorry she is and that she's not a drama queen. She felt really bad and next time it would be half off.
So I try for weeks to get back on her schedule and Monday I set an appointment for last night. She txts me 1 hour before to say that she had to move my appointment back 2 hours. Okay. No problem. Then, 25 minutes later she says no, come at the original time, in 30 minutes. I have a 30-40 minute drive to the spot. I was showered, prepared and had my donation ready based on our last conversation. She texted me that its the full rate. Now, I'm not cheap. I'd have happily paid the full rate, but I had the donation that she said I would need to have and now, with little time to make it to her, no way can I stop for cash and get there on time. She's booked solid and I'd either show up short or late.
I tactfully remind her of our previous situation and she says,"no, lets just cancel"
Huh? What'd I miss? I was, again, left holding the bag (no pun intended, LOL).
I don't have ridiculous amounts of money, but am very able to pull the trigger when I make an appointment. I have references, I have never no showed or walked out. I do lots of homework and when I see someone, its because I want to and have planned for it.
Again, even in light of last nights events, I don't want to sully her reputation, she has worked hard to make it. Like I said, everyone else loves her, I'd just like some input as to where I went wrong.
Thoughts?
