Woman 1: What's this? Woman 2: If I cancel an hour before my appointment, you charge me. Well, I've just waited an hour past my appointment time in your waiting room. This is my bill.
Ditto! I had to cancel an appointment just recently, asked them ahead of time if they would charge me for cancelling at the last minute (would have gone if they did). the receptionst said, “oh my, heavens, no. We don’t do that.” There are some still out there!
