That’s why I will never send a deposit. NEVER! I’m a trustworthy person and am lucky to find providers who trust me enough not to flake on them.
Here’s how much I respect providers. I couldn’t make it to an appointment because something came up. I arranged to meet the provider at a later time to hand him his donation. Since he was about to check out, we didn’t even have a session. I didn’t expect one. I went there to make up for the revenue he lost with my canceled appointment.
