Lurker, I am sorry if you got ripped off. And the reason I say IF, is because your language was more vague in your first post - "quite sure" - as opposed to "absolutely positive". I agree with your decision not to name the SP, because you are only quite sure. If you were positive about the 3 x $20, you should be telling the whole world who it is.
What I do myself is pay in $50 bills. Its easier to count 5 x $50 than it is to count 12 x $20, or at least a mistake is less likely. Or more importantly, she knows a mistake is less likely. Oh, I also place the money in an envelope, and recount it at least twice so that I am not "quite sure", but rather I am "absolutely sure" that the amount is correct. That way, at the moment when the SP tells me I am short, there is NO doubt about what is going on.
After reflecting on your situation, I think I would have demanded my money back and left. Why would I want to get naked and have sex with a lying thief? Talk about killing the mood. She'd probably demand some sort of cancellation fee, so I'd likely be out closer to $50, but at least I would have the satisfaction of knowing that I didn't give into her little scam, and at least she didn't make $250 on the deal. And then I'd come on here and write about it, including her name.
Oh, and about the 10 minutes at the end, yes, you are right to feel like you were cheated on that one. She was behind on her scheduling and she decided to steal 10 minutes from you in order to get caught up.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I think its worthwhile to bring these issues up every once in awhile, if nothing else then for the newer members, but also as a reminder for others who should know better.
