It is only unfortunate for the guy who paid for something that was accepted and he did not receive.
Why try to spin a dishonest person. You do not spend something that you have not earned.
None of you have any trouble denouncing and calling a client a scumbag who cancels at the last minute and doesn’t pay cancellation charges but when the shoe is on the other foot it is a complicated situation lol.
Maybe it’s time for a review? I’m surprised you got any money back.
Philippines,Thailand,Brazil maybe prices are driven up by americans and others who have deep pockets....Pre covid I dont remember prices in Euros one thing is for sure I'm paid in canadian dollars I wont start paying à massage in Euros or bitcoins !!!!!!

It's the most respectful way to do it. I'm a SP with chronic illnesses and sadly, I have to cancel a couple of times. But, I ALWAYS put the deposits in a specific bank account before the appointment so it stays there if I have to cancel and give it back. Like you said, simple principle. My policy is that if I'm the one being canceled on, I keep the money and if I'm the one who is canceling, they have it back as soon as they see the canceling message.
I'm someone who is really transparent so I take the time to explain what's happening and how my situation impacts me. Thankfully, everyone has been understanding and comprehensive yet. They get their money back instantly and they appreciate my transparency so they tend to book again, which I deeply appreciate.
The money should have been sent back right away. Its a no brainer discussion.
Agreed. Not sure what the point of vagueposting about a provider that screwed you over without naming them? Put it in their review thread. If it's a one-off, and everyone else has had flawless experiences them, then it probably won't affect her much and it might spurn action on her part to pay you back. If it's an on-going thing, and others have faced a similar situation with this provider, then you'll be saving other people from the same fate.
Reviews come in all shapes and sizes, even for
Well here's what I will bitch about lol a client actually sent a deposit and he still didn't show up. I don't usually ask for deposits, but I had a weird feeling. I was right.
He posted about it back in June…we’re in August, I think it would be fair for him to post a review about it lol.
I get a fair number of people writing to me and asking me questions about this, that and the other thing. I'm pretty laid back generally and will usually answer questions even if the asker is a lurker or has no or little posting history or whatever. I may not give as complete an answer as I might do in some back channel conversation but I will try to provide either useful information or guidance of some kind if I can, no matter who's asking. I usually feel that it's the job of people on this board to help and support others, as it is on other board, so anything reasonable, etc.,etc. etc. Having said that, if you're a 15 year member of this board, that I've never interacted with before, with just a handful of posts, and you write to me "I want you to tell me A,B and C. thanks" as the entirety of your message, without any kind of introduction, social niceties or anything that could be construed by anyone as being either courteous or respectful of a stranger from whom you wish to obtain help and information, then you can absolutely fuck right off.
If you continue to pay deposits most people will be fine but some people will screw you. That's how it works, unless you limit your interactions to a very select group of people. You are guaranteed to lose deposits again in the future if you pay them to whoever asks for them. Maybe 90% of the people you interact with will be fine, but you are still going to lose money at some point. You either just shrug your shoulders and decide that that's the cost of doing business, in which case you should stop worrying about it entirely and be philosophical when it happens, or simply stop paying deposits. Whichever decision you make will be the best one for you. There isn't a wide consensus here on which way is the best way to go and it comes up frequently.
Same. Lately I was asked to give more juicy details. And almost ended being the one not sharing information lol
I feel like some people just want you to show and tell and jerk off your story telling.
Well such transparency is fine as it manages expectations and will avoid potential frustration!
It's cool that you're trying to be graceful, but you're talking about it here and I'm sure a bunch of guys messaged you to ask who it is and gossip.. but I do understand that you needed advice on this situation or just to vent
Hey! I was "regular" bitching just 2 hours ago! You're not the boss of me! Mind your P's and Q's mister!
No, he wasn't really asking for juicy details. It was phrased pretty much just as I framed it above: "give me information. thanks" , as if it was a demand that he was entitled to, rather than a polite request. No preamble, not even a "hello", just "gimme".
And there it is. It all works perfectly, most of the time, until it doesn't. You do the best you can with the information you have, but the system will break down again at some point. There's no real need to rationalize it, just as long as you recognize that that's what it will be like in the future too, and plan accordingly with whatever (if any) mitigating actions you take.
