Today was my FIFTH no show/cancellation this week. And I have a suspicion that my 2pm is also going to now show.

I think you end up being somewhere at the front or as a "new member alert" or something, so you'll defo get more business
as they, like you said, think you're fresh meat

Unfortunately double the amount of timewasters too!!

Yup. Two no-shows and two did-shows. Utter no-shows mystify me. I suppose some of them are deliberately fucking with us but I think others simply think we're not deserving of common courtesy once they've changed their minds for whatever reason. How hard is it to text and say "I'm sorry - been called into work. I'll try to see you another time soon."? I am pretty sure being called into work is the equivalent of leaving the wallet in the car, but it's OK if they make up an excuse.

I don't think it's thoughtlessness, but totally intentional passive-aggressive behavior of guys who get off on knowing they've cost/lost us money. It gives them a little thrill for the duration of the time they've booked to know we sit there pissed off and stressed, missing our financial target, and it being too late for us to re-book the slot. Utterly c***ish behavior used by men who don't have much going on in their own lives.
