I would like to ask for peoples opinions on this matter.
I am not sure if there is a standard or rule of thumb, so i tend to be at the mercy of the provider in terms of the duration or start/end of the time of our 'date' and i try to avoid any dispute if i feel like something is off, & just casually leave.
of course things are different with incall & outcall, example in outcall you should stop at least 15 minutes before your time is up to allow shower time. So i will focus mainly on incall.
Here is an example that just happened. I reserve an incall for 9:30 pm. I arrive at 9:26 pm. The incall location has a parking lot, so i text the provider and ask if there is a visitor parking. She replies that i must park in the street. It takes me 5 minutes to wiggle and squeeze my way out of the parking lot and turn back on the street. There is no parking to be found anywhere, i go up and down the street twice and could only find parking about 25 buildings away, by that time it was 9:43. (So 17 minutes to do all that and park)
I ran to her building and rang the bell at 9:50 (it took me 7 minutes to jog from the only parking spot in her area, to her place)
I took an hour.
30 minutes into the session she said 'your time is up soon bey, we gotta hurry'
I then understood that she started the time at 9:30, that was my reservation.
One side of me finds that somewhat disrespectful and abusive.
The businessman side of myself understands and i chose to not bring it up, i mean in the end what differentiates her business from that of any other business that is strict on time allocations? I get it.
That is why i love when a provider explains parking instructions prior to you arriving (or simply mentions if thete is visitor parking in the building parking lot or not)
I get the impression that many providers do not drive and are used to ubers stopping just anywhere.
Driving a vehicle is just not the same, one wrong move and you are delayed or are doihg detours.
If i enter someones building parking and have to turn around & exit it, that could be very tight with a ton of maneuvering and tedious back & forths (we don't all drive fiats or smart cars, some could have suv's or trucks)
Also if a provider knows parking is hell around their location and wants to maintain a strict scheduling, it is just best that they advise the client to arrive a little earlier to find a parking space.
Any thoughts?
I have seen all types of time start/end variations from absolutely none to many types.
I Saw someone who ended the time 20 minutes earlier in incall to allow her time to prepare for her next client, she said that she leaves no time in between appointments and doesn't want to ruin her scheduling.
(This one i found special and a tad abusive)
I have seen many many lies saying "your time is up in 5" to which i replied, how so? I've been here 15 minutes, to which they argue and say "no, you arrived 45 minutes ago".. these are robbers to me and i don't argue, i just leave, no point in showing proof via the time of the arrival text.
I have even once met a provider that would only take appointments at even hour marks, no 12:30 or 1:15, only 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm etc and she would not respond if you did not buzz at that exact time. Some number superstitions or something of that nature. As they say in french, chacun ses toques..
We can probably all agree that scheduling/booking is a complex process that very few know how to master.
Some are victim to bad scheduling, other benefit from good scheduling. And of course some may take advantage of it and use it in mildly manipulative ways.
Its basically the wild west out there.
In the end, you pay for an hour or 30 minutes, so i ask you, when does the time stop or end?
does it start at your appointment time? If you are on time but it takes you 20 minutes to find parking and get buzzed in, does it start once you walk in the door? Or is that 20 minutes counted?
if you arrived, parked & made it to the door on time and it takes 11 minutes for you to get the code, be buzzed in and use the elevator, does that 11 minutes count as time deducted off of your appointment or does your time start once you walk in the door?
so many variables.
And i am sure some have different opinions or views, so You tell me, when does the time start or stop?
