My dsl is wonky today. I did. I walked out on the appointment. The neurologist who I visited later performed a quite adequate analysis of my MRI. Unfortunately, I would have to go back to him (the neurosurgeon)if I ever needed any neurosurgery sorts of things, since he is an actually quite good, well known, competent sort of doc. Or drive into Houston (shudder).peacock2121 wrote:It is rude and inconsiderate.Beebs52 wrote:Plus, on the doctor cancellation thing--during the time I was diagnosed with the cancer crap and all, and had to visit the neurosurgeon for the brain crap and all, I visited him two times with an average wait of 2 1/2 hours.
The one morning, the third visit, that I had made an appointment for 7:30 a.m., thinking that I could get in fairly easily and out in time for work, I waited until 9:30 while the waiting room filled up with 30 people. The doctor wasn't there yet.
I went to the desk, picked up my films and said, "See ya." There was no emergency in the offing. He just wasn't there.
I actually have a problem with that more so than the spa thing.
I would have fired the guy.

My salon/spa actually has a 100% 24 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within 24 hours, you are charged 100% of the services you booked. Same with the place where I get my massages. I can see why they do it. However, they will waive it, if, and only if, they fill the appointment AND I call back after to find out if that is the case (so if you don't call you just get charged).
There are exceptions. Once I got a flat tire on the way and they couldn't fit me in later and they were nice enough to not charge me. But I've also been going there for 10 years and I rarely miss an appointment.
The only advice I could have given you if I knew before you were going to cancel...the one thing I've done which is not necessarily right...if you just skip the appointment, and when they call to tell you that you missed it, act horrified and say well I called 3 days ago to cancel so I'm sorry that there was any confusion, I rescheduled for (pick a date) - is that not showing in the computer?????
Again, wrong...but it's your get out of jail free card, so to speak.
I have a feeling if you reschedule and cause a moderate stink, they'll give you the full value of the gift certificate.
