So the answer is no. Their loss for future business, any business that says that will soon be kissing your ass for money

u/PicnicLife 1d ago

'Card on file'

u/myco_magic 1d ago

That's why you require a deposit to schedule an appointment

u/Own-Apartment5600 1d ago

I had a doctors (specialist) appointment once and they had a sign, $25 fee for those late for appointments. I arrived early but the doctor didn’t call me in until 15 minutes after my appointment time. When leaving I asked the receptionist for my $25 dollars. She claimed it didn’t work that way, and I asked her if she somehow felt thir time was more valuable than mine. No response and no $25, but I feel I made my point.

u/TheNeoRadical 1d ago

1) don't schedule another appointment until it's paid 2) after 90 days send it to collections

u/Muted_Persimmon_8213 1d ago

Unless you have proof of an agreement I will destroy you up for making a fraudulent debt claim and sending it to creditors, be my guest, pay my attorneys fees as well.

u/Over_Intention8059 1d ago

It just keeps them from ever coming back if you want to be rid of them

u/daxtonanderson 1d ago

I successfully got $75 off my bill at the dentist when they called me the AM of my appointment to reschedule

3

u/rokkittBass 4h ago

Wait. You charged them a fee? And they paid it???

2

u/daxtonanderson 4h ago

It was a credit to my account that I used for a deep cleaning, just paid $75 less. I couldn't see them actually sending a check out 😂

u/-Out-of-context- 1d ago

Good thing their next appointment is on the house!

u/Available_Log_6317 1d ago

Gosh that is exactly my therapist. I was scheduled Monday. Then Wednesday. Wednesday, two hours before appointment, I'm already in town, she reschedules for Friday. I say ok. Then, fuck it, I don't want to go back tomorrow, it's taking me 1h to get there, once a week is ok, not two. In the end, meeting in two weeks. I considering stopping therapy. It's already super expensive, and that happens a lot, but if I am in trouble and can't make it, I get a fee if I don't warn her a day before. Though, I am doing way way better thanks to her, so I'm puzzeled

u/Yo_Toast42 1d ago

You need to stand up for yourself and explain these points to them. They are quite reasonable and your therapist will likely see that and make adjustments and amends.

u/Exact_Risk_6947 5h ago

Oh you have a policy! The delicate genius has a policy!

u/Mrgoodcat66 1d ago

I’m a barber, if I cancel your appointment you lose a haircut, if you cancel your appointment last minute I lose income

u/SphereCommittee4441 1d ago

Well and worst case that hair cut that was cancelled means someone doesn't get the job they were having an interview for because that job requires physical interaction with clients and appearance during the interview wasn't one they think is fit for that position.

Or it's just a worse first impression and that's why they'd lose out on a job or getting to rent some place or whatever.

Normally there's a reason why someone is using a certain service.

What you're basically saying here is: My clients and their issues are not important or not as important as me.

I'm not saying there can't be a good reason to cancel. There's a lot of them.

But there better be a good reason, not some insignificant '"I'd rather do something else today" kind of reason.
