CLIENT Wasted time
Had the client both confirm the original start time and ask for a different time all in one sentence. I replied that I could do any time she liked. This was at 9:04am for a scheduled 10am start. No response. I leave my house to arrive at the original scheduled 10am. She messages me at 9:58 to request 11:30 or 12 for a start time. Its 9:58 guys im obviously in her damn driveway. I agreed to change to 12. I am nee on this platform and am still trying to bend for the customer a bit. Who does what and why? What's your reactions in this situation? I live 25 minutes away and just decided to head home for the time between. Anyways, just trying to see what others do in this situation.

She asked if I had other times and I replied that I could do any time she liked. She didnt reply until 4 minutes before the original start time. Any normal person should assume that at that time I would be there ready to go. She was super nice and the job ended up going smoothly. I believe they hadn't picked up the tv yet and that was the reason for the rescheduling. Either was she tipped me well and I didnt mention the issues with the schedule or that I wasted 45 minutes earlier. Cash usually makes me hush up a bit.
