Double standards

[sempel]

Was just on a website (can't remember if it was an agency or an indy, sorry) but I came across the usual "Last minute cancellation policy". I think it was an agency and indicated if you cancel last minute, you'd be expected to pay 1/2 the fee if you want to see the lady again. Fair enough, I don't disagree with this. However, if the lady cancels on the guy last minute, can the expectation be the same for the guy? Will he get compensated? It seems in rare cases the answer is yes, and most of the time he's SOL. I personally feel this creates some inequality between clients/providers.

The obvious solution is for people not to do this (but it happens). Or for guys to move on if (1) they don't want to pay the fine or (2) they feel disrespected by the lady for cancelling and not giving anything. But it doesn't seem right. Just my opinion.

I think you're quite right about the fairness thing: If she cancels the session at the last minute (however that's defined) the client should get a half-fee break from her on a subsequent visit, on the same basis as the penalty for the customer cancelling.

However, this is a for-profit transaction, and fairness or what's right has very little to do with it. Unless these are high-minded folks who actually believe in acting honourably, honestly and fairly to others, they're more likely to believe it "…makes them smart" to collect the full-price for substandard service if you're willing to pay it. You are quite correct; it isn't 'right'; it's business.

The real questions are: These days, does business and making a buck trump (c'est le mot juste, read it as broadly as you wish) morals, ethics, and all other standards of social values and interactions? And if it does, is that a good thing or something we must work to change?

Is this what dentists do if they cancel appointments with patients?

One is a loss of income based on an allotted time reserved by request. The other is a loss of requested service for that allotted time. Loss of income doesn't not equal loss of service.

Therefore 50% compensation for canceled appointment is a little steep but good customer service mean some type of compensation acceptable to the client.

And clients don't pay cancelation fees unless they want to. Which usually means the person instilling in the cancelation fee must be pretty good with customer service for the man to pay the fee. He would only do that if he did want to return and would only want to return if the service is right.

I don't call it a double standard as the variables and position of each party is completely different. Clients and providers are not equal. Apples and oranges are both fruit but completely different in every way.

Bullshit. “What is good for the goose, should be good for the gander”.

Expect a client is a Client and escort is an escort.

You think you are equal to your lawyer? Your doctor? Your dentist?

Walk into you doctors office and tell them you are equal to them and when an appointment is booked they need to keep that time. See how far you get.

Clients/providers are NOT equal therefore equally in this regard doesn't apply.

You don't have to book an escort. You are not obligated. This isn't affirmative action. Lol.

When you are on a schedule, you are expected to keep it. If you can’t keep your schedule, don’t have a schedule. Plain and simple.

I get it!!! You hold the record for the only man in the world to never miss a day of work.

All escorts - be warned now - have the flu? Fuck you, get your ass to work and spread that shit while you spread your legs. LOL.

If the escorts want to get a cancellation fees, then the client should get a discounted price for the next visit. You get it. Stick to escorting.

Oh yes. I do 100% agree with that. With ANY service related business, I agree. Which is why I will stick to business and escort on the side

I don't agree with equal what they request for cancelation fee.

I do think that provider and client do equally get to decide after a canceled visit if the cancelation fee/compensation is fair for the situation.

Remember neither side can be forced to pay/offer a fee/compensation so what really should be shining through is the actual act and not so much the amount. Unless it is an insulting amount. $10 off your next booking of a $300 hour for canceling on a client 10mins after he arrived is a pretty shitty compensation. Lol.

Good. As long as you do not have a one sided opinion. What is fair is fair. Should be for both sides.

I was not disputing offering compensation. My understand of the thread question is , is it a double standard to not offer 50% compensation value if you request a 50% cancelation fee. I don't think it is a double standard if it is not the same percentage.

That's why I picked a doctor and dentist who are both in group practices, where someone else fills in if they have to cancel.

Fairness says the cancellation/no show should work both ways, but if the client's still booking to see Miss Can't-Watch-The Clock without a discount, why would she or her agency offer one? He's gotta at least ask. And just maybe some extra no-cost time would be an easier ask to get.

Bottom line: Don't anyone get their hopes up.

As I said earlier. “What is good for the goose, should be good for the gander”. Get it?

All the arguments and counter-arguments are fine and dandy. Especially, Miss Jessica is very intelligent on providing us her point of view on the issue. My two cent? Why do you even go this far but move on to another providers? It's your money so do something just to make you happy! No ones will force you to pay the late fee IF you don't rebook the same provider. There are plenty of fish out there who would be happy to take your money (or not!). Happy hunting.

To clarify, I never specified that the amount should be equal, but it should be fair - as pointed out, $10 off a $300 session is garbage.

And yes, while clients and escorts are not the same, there is loss of income/time on both sides. For the lady, this is easily measured by the appointment fee. It's not as clear for the guy but there could be travel costs, time taken off from work, or other costs. Suppose a girl is only available during weekdays? Those who want to see her either have to have the day off (no issue) or take off work (potentially a loss in compensation). And some girls are located a fair distance away and driving or taking a train costs money. I've always been very paranoid about last minute cancellations when traveling far so I usually confirm a couple of hours before. That said, there's always the small chance I am within striking distance of the location and suddenly receive a cancellation (thankfully hasn't happened yet).

As I stated, yes, moving onto another provider is an option. However, if you cancel last minute for an agency girl, you might be suspended from said agency. Different if it's a single indy.

Bringing up other professions, I find it all depends on the power dynamic. I have gone to specialists who are so busy, they charge a hefty no-show fee (there's a notice on the receptionist's desk). Contrast that with my dentist who's occasional appointment I've missed and there's no charge. That's because dentists know there's others around and a patient could easily switch to another one.
