Being Shorted - Your client doesn't hate you

[+ VictorPowers]

I just finished up a pleasant encounter with a new client in Atlanta. Our 90 minute appointment easily went over 2 hours. My client was very appreciative as he placed the money on my coffee table. After he left, I discovered he was $100 short. I built up the courage to send him a message 15 minutes later explaining the issue. He was very apologetic and we attributed the shortage to a miscommunication on the rate. I'm happy to report that he is still going to pay me the difference and all is well in the world.

 

I know we are quick to judge that a client may have burned us by paying less, but errors occur!

Once a regular client and I scheduled a meeting really close to a flight of mine. We met in an airport hotel. Well our little roleplay went overtime and next thing you know we were both rushing to get dressed. “Daddy” quickly pulled the money out of his pocket and shoved it into my hands as he rushed to get out of my way so I could close up shop and get into a taxi. I didn’t get to count it until I was on the way to the airport, and when it came up short I remembered the quickness with which his hands had grabbed the cash from his pockets. I was in too much of a rush for my flight to even message him before takeoff, but I had a super apologetic email waiting for me when my flight landed... he had reached home and gone into his pocket for something else only to come up horrified at the small wad of 20’s remaining there. Daddy was sweet enough to send me an extra 20 for not assuming the worst and being totally cool about it.

 

Then there was that one guy who showed up with only $80 back when my rate was $250 and was hoping that I would go thru the booking without noticing... yeah... his ass got kicked OUT... but that was a long time ago! LOLOLOL

I had the opposite occur. After a very satisfying encounter, I paid my escort, including a tip for which he thanked me. 15 minutes later I get a text that there were 2 $100 bills stuck together and I overpaid him. I thanked him profusely, and since I had really tipped him generously already, asked if I could run a tab and mark this down as credit. We both got a laugh and I had a $100 credit which did not last thru a month!

Refreshing thread. It looks like clients in these forums are often quicker to judge providers than viceversa.

I did not mean it in any other way.

I’ve told this story before....

 

After the heat of battle with Mike Grey (there’s really no other way

to describe the mind blowing man-on-man sex we shared) I once

shorted him by several hundred dollars.

 

He called me and VERY politely brought it to my attention.

I was still in the lobby of his apartment building. I made a beeline

back to his apartment and was effusively appologetic about it.

 

He was as kind as could be and said something along the lines of

“Don’t worry, I know how much fun we have together and you have

always paid me along with a generous tip...I knew it was an honest mistake.”

 

Moral of the story.....sometimes people make honest mistakes.

Don’t assume the worst....until you have no other options.

On two occasions with one of my favorite regulars I was enjoying the company so much that at the end I packed up and started saying good bye and forgot to take out the $ envelope (I hate taking it out beforehand...the envelope that is.). My escort was pretty cute the way he handled the gentle reminder with a smile and a twinkle in his eye.

There is one guy I have almost forgotten to give him his donation altogether, more than once. We have such a good time together I often forgot I hired him.

 

I usually remember before I’m too far away though. I’ll usually walk back and give him the funds. So maybe he has never had the chance to bring it up to me.

If a client honestly forgets to pay you.....

 

there is no higher compliment....for a moment....just a moment....he forgot it wasn’t real.

After the heat of battle with Mike Grey . . . I once

shorted him by several hundred dollars.

 

Mike Grey! Man, was that beautiful Brazilian amazing! Just the mention of his name brings up some great memories!

Surprised you had to build up the courage to contact him. You had every right to. Shows you’re very sweet.

you’re very sweet.

That is an understatement. He is soooo sweet, we need a new word.

I think this was the biggest surprise for me getting into this field, seeing how many clients genuinely want to fulfill their end of the bargain. It makes sense of course, we're both looking to be repeat customers! And thankfully, yes, the few times I've been shorted change has been by mistake, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by how easy the ensuing conversation is. Y'all are a very kind group of men!

 

That is true...at the same time, people shouldn't need to make a habit of letting it slide.

 

I personally rather just ensure things are properly settled up, before parting ways. There's been a couple of times (this almost always happens when traveling and staying in hotels), something has come up short. I feel instead of someone going thru the inconvenience of making U-turns, going up and down elevators, and exclaiming how apologetic they are; to just make sure things are right the first time.

 

There's a saying in the car service world: Do it right, or do it twice. And just giving/accepting a wad of balled up cash without counting, is like depositing money in the ATM without counting it first.

I once shorted a guy accidentally and he contacted me about the issue. He was a regular and I was mortified. We made arrangements to send the funds to him and everything was resolved.

 

Since then I always keep the funds in a small envelope separately from my regular cash. At the end of the session I make a point of confirming the amount and count it out from the envelope. Then leave the envelope on the dresser, desk, or bed for the guy to pick up himself.
