How late is enough to call it off? When you have a date and they are late. How long is appropriate to wait?
Late for appointments
- Thread starter HelloMsDoll
- Start date
Of course, if someone gets in touch that is a different thing. Trying to gauge the other type of what is normal.
I think a little clarification is needed before the question is answered, either by providing more info or a scenario. I have been late for a couple of appointments but as soon as I knew this was the case, I texted indicating I would be late and attempted to provide an estimate. The response was a polite ok. The one time I had booked an hour but when I finally got to the door the lady indicated we couldn't do the hour, was 45 ok? I agreed and she split the difference between 30 min and 60 min rates.
My question is why would the lady call it off? I can understand if it's the last appointment of the day so if you want to go home instead of sitting around waiting, it would be nice to call it at some point. But if it's during the day, what difference does it make? Is the phone ringing with a person who wants an appointment right away?
When the tardy gent shows up, you have to make a call - complete the full appointment, reduce the time, or basically say there's no point since there's so little time left.
At an MP, they say 5 min or 10 min late and you lose your appointment. However, that's different because there are walk-ins who might be available. Different for an SP working at an incall.

Under normal circumstances which is what I believe she is still inferring too about 15-20 minutes.

If someone is late without making contact I wait ten mins for a response other wise I call it off..
If you are going to be late then at least have the common courtesy to inform the person that you are running late... If not then it just shows more about your character.
Sempel- if someone is running late during the day it still matters - there are at least 2/3 other people who could be looking for the same time slot and if a person books and doesn't show up or doesn't let them know that they are running late then it makes the sp lose out on money which sucks even more because not only are you missing out on one but you potentially missed out on three..
Lots of people look for appointments when they are in the area usually giving a fifteen minute notice. But there are also those who pre book days/ hours in advance and then if they are running late the notify the provider.
I mean you wouldn't like it if you booked an appointment showed up and the lady was running late with another appointment and made u wait .. would you?

These days when everyone has phone the waiting time can't be more than 10 minutes. (without a text or call) Otherwise I'm always sharp.
My philosophy: Your lifetime is limited in the universe. If someone doesn't respect your time just forget him/her. When you have to wait for someone for half hour or more it's a crime.
They robbed 30 minutes from your life. Instead you do something good or have a great time, you have to wait for a disrespectful asshole . Don't do it! They don't deserve you!!

With no correspondence? Max 15 minutes for an SP. At an MP I'm more lenient obviously because I've already gotten undressed and showered. Maybe 25 - 30 minutes max. If I remember correctly, I actually waited over an hour for Ivana, only because I knew to anticipate the lateness. As great as she was, that's also why I stopped seeing her though.
It depends on how busy I am and how much I’m anticipating our session.
I usually have a good book with me so it’s not wasted time.
If it’s cancelled, I consider I saved a few hundred bucks.
From her perspective, I’d be doing a slow burn knowing I’ve paid for a room and the time could have been booked by someone else.

Depends on the length of the appointment that was booked. At some point the session, would become redundant. If they show up they should pay the full amount of the appointment. But their time is shorten. If you are late, they still get the full time, and your schedule is your problem. If they do not show up, my guess, is that they will not get, booked again. lol
But why not just call them, and find out what is happening ? Then you will know, and no longer have to wonder about it. I would say 10 minutes is the longest you should wait before calling.
How about this experience?

A relevant question for providers is, for clients who are not on time and do not contact you, how many were complete no shows. And how many clients actually showed up for the appt when they were 5 or 10 minutes late with no notice. Or after 15 minutes? Texting or calling the client is probably not a good idea as they be late for a reason but that shouldn't excuse them for their bad etiquette of not contacting the woman informing them that they are going to be late or not coming at all. I could be wrong but I think the majority of cancelled or missed appts are the fault of the client as opposed to the provider. There are probably many providers who rarely have an issue with late clients or missed appts and then others who probably have more than they would like.
I remember this. Look at my response.
At least I'm consistent.
While most of the time, one is expected to indicate they are late, but that is not always possible. I don't think I'm the only one who's had their phone die or have crappy service at certain times. I once texted an SP that I'd be there in 10 min only to see the message send 8 min later. I was on time but she was expecting me to be there in 8 min.
Sweetiepie, I get it. I don't condone people being late without communication. And I get that is lost income. But once it happens, can you honestly tell me there's a high chance you can fill the slot, especially if there's an appointment right after? How many times has a 2pm appointment not shown so at 2:10 you contacted a potential client who was willing to take a 45 min or 30 min slot until 3pm (or 3:15pm so you have 15 min to clean up) when you have your next appointment? How many indies have it listed on their sites that they cannot accommodate same day bookings? In most cases, many things have to line up for someone to get a last minute appointment. It's more likely to happen if the lady is free for an extended period versus a lady having a slot open up because 10 min into the appointment the guy hasn't showed and hasn't made contact.
I get that some ladies have a more open schedule and might be able to make a last minute booking with another client but chances are also high that client is no longer available. I've requested a day/time, been told it's not available, and then booked with someone else who could accommodate because that is my schedule. I can't rely on the small chance I'll be in the area and get a last minute invitation because there's been a cancellation.
And no, I wouldn't like it - look at my response above from the other thread - I had to wait 35 min! But my only recourse in that situation is to simply not return. And BTW, in that situation, I texted with the SP prior to arrival to indicate my ETA, only to arrive and get the "please wait". So I'm sticking with my notion that if a customer arrives late, with or without notice, the lady can choose to fully accommodate, adjust appointment length, or cancel the appointment. Clearly adjustment/cancellation should be done to avoid delaying subsequent clients.
