im quite pissed at the fact that sometimes i hold a slot for someone who has made a booking for that time and i turn others away as im very formal and then the dude doesn't show up and doesn't even cancel. It bothers me bc i could hv given that time to someone else. Do you send any threathing messages in the lines of "hi im blocking you for future bookings since you haven't turned up nor cancelled", or do you ignore and move on. HOnestly this been happening to me a lot lately.
Some times I would double book to better my odds because some men can't be relied upon showing.
I accidentally double-booked recently and was apologetic to the client who was 30 minutes away from me. I made out I had an emergency. I offered him a £20 discount next time.
I was occupied getting ready then the phone rang, the other client spoke similarly.
It turned out to be the afternoon booking. I didn't say anything because it was my fault for being careless.
Lesson learned.
