You definitely did imply it by continuing to say there is no justification for scamming after I said it was not okay to scam someone.
There is a clear difference between losing income and losing spending money. I never said the deposit money was easily earned, I just said your concern is not as serious as our concern, we are concerned with taking appointments that we had to turn down other clients for and none of them showing up, and then us not making money. If you do your due diligence you will not be scammed, but we have no assurance clients will show up. Providers even have regulars who no show, I know I did! He no showed twice at the beginning of the pandemic which I was only taking an appointment a week and refused to pay a cancelation fee. Ya'll no showing has a disproportionate impact us than it does on you, this is not to say it is okay when it happens to you, it is just to say that it is not the same and not a reason to deny reputable providers deposits.
Nope, I never implied that you are okay with scamming you made that quite clear and I do not have comprehension Issues I assure you.
I will even agree with you that no shows, time wasters, etc.. are a pain and this happens to you way more than to us simply because the volume of clients you deal with far out number the SP we could see.
My whole problem was you down playing the money we lose as “merely play money”. That was income at one point for us also and we worked just as hard for it as you do.
Unfortunately bad apples on both sides ruin it for all of us.
btw I have only cancelled twice, once for a medical issue with someone I take care of the day before my appointment, it was with my ATF.
I not only paid her the full amount but even the gift I usually bring her. She said I that I shouldn’t have because she knows I would rebook it which I did but to me it was the right thing to do.
The other occasion was with another SP I know well just when this Omicron hit, my appointment was in two weeks when I cancelled, I sent her $100 Amazon gift card apologized and promised to rebook when things got better which I am about to do.
