Asking for deposits after a cancellation

[socurious]

Is it okay if the escort asks for a deposit after a client cancels hours in advance? How do feel about it? I'm genuinely curious.

I don't think that's standard, for escorts to ask. However, I personally send them something if I have to cut at the last minute.

I recall an escort who went off on me because he couldn't find his way around the city and complained about the cold, and said I should pay him money since he claimed he tried but couldn't visit me. But with that attitude, all he got from me was a block.

I wouldn't consider it an intuitive business model to try to get a deposit AFTER a missed meeting.

It's the reason you ask for the deposit beforehand.  It's incentive-based collateral to make someone keep their schedule.

If a client flakes, he flakes.  If the excuse is an understandable one, you make the call as to giving him another shot.

If not, you just move on.  I don't tend to dwell on those who have wasted my time.

But cancelling twice in a row when you are just visiting? Hmmmm

It shouldn’t be called a deposit, because a deposit conveys the idea of service or products expected to be received. I would call it a cancellation charge or penalty.

In my case, I have delivered escorts’ donations at a later time after I have canceled appointments set it stone.  I don’t do it out of guilt but I just don’t want the provider losing income for the time he reserved for me.

If an escort offers a "deposit" to clients when cancelling last minute, they're free to do so and then ask that clients do the same in return. I highly doubt any escorts are willing to do that though

I dont understand. Do you mean he was going to hire you twice and cancelled both times…and now he wants another appointment so you want a deposit for appoinment number 3?  Bottom line: you can do what you want as long as the customer agrees to the terms.

I've only had to cancel an appointment with very short notice once. I offered to pay the provider whatever cancellation fee he deemed appropriate, but he declined, which I found very gracious of him. When we eventually met a few days later, I made sure to give him a substantial tip.

Yeah that would be called a cancellation fee…

That is very gracious. However, long as people understand that it shouldn’t be “expected” for all providers to be okay with eating the possibility of a cancelled session.

Lot of times, people cancel/flake and offer nothing.

A few times over the years I’ve sent at least an hour’s cancellation fee to particularly sweet and engaging providers when I’ve had to cancel at the last minute. I felt I owed it to them and they were exceedingly grateful. When we finally met, it was an epic experience!

You didn’t say that at the outset when you posed your question. What else are you holding back?
