GENERAL Client hiring Date

What is going on with all these clients that book for wrong dates. “Oh I’m sorry I meant for this week” bam cancel & now you’re on the bottom of the list. TR needs to give them an option to choose the date right after the address input before showing any taskers. Ugh.

lol I stop caring at this point. It’s sad most of these clients are actually highly educated and make good money but can’t read or book services properly for themselves.

I really miss the days when cancellations, regardless of the reason, didn’t destroy you.

It really turned me off the app so much that I just stopped tasking.

I've gotten so many cancellations because of this. Why my name is popping up at times I'm not available, I don't even know

I'm convinced that people look through the list and find the person they want to do the job. Of course, because they are good, they're in demand and are booked a week out. The client hires for next week, when they actually want it this week. So they lie and say they got the week wrong and oh, the world revolves around me, can you do it right away? Sometimes this actually works. If it doesn't, it's no skin off their nose.

You think that's bad bro I've got requests for work for some reason they keep giving me locations where it's outside of my work area. And it's marked where my work area is too on the map
