That day at the fairgrounds when nobody showed up for their shoeing appointments
Last month I had 5 horses scheduled at the county fairgrounds near Springfield. I drove 45 minutes with my truck loaded up, got there at 7 AM, and three people just never showed. No call, no text, nothing. I charged one guy a cancellation fee but I'm still sitting on lost time and gas money. Anybody else deal with clients just ghosting you like that?
Oh man that's INSANE. Three people at once? I'd be losing my mind. @blake_black47 is right though, it really does feel targeted when it happens like that. Getting even one cancellation fee out of it is a small win honestly.
Three no-shows in one day? That's brutal, I would've been fuming. I've been at this long enough to know people cancel sometimes but having three just ghost you at once feels like a targeted thing. Honestly I'm surprised you even got one guy to pay a cancellation fee, most of my clients act like that's offensive.
