> Nah. Hell, we don’t even charge for no-shows, (though I wish we would, I probably lose about $300 per month from people who will call, schedule a massage for two hours later, then not show up for it.) Really we only ask for three hours advance notice for a cancellation, most clients call and want to schedule for the same day. Hell, I get calls a half hour before closing wanting to schedule for the same day.

All good, then. Rant on baby. (Though I’d charge no shows. That’s damn rude.)

The thing my roommie hated the most about clients bringing her colds was then she couldn’t work until she was better. It’s not like you guys have office jobs where you can sniffle at your desk and limp along-- or paid sick days you can use.
