If it is the last customer of the day and they are not home I say good because I get to go home early.</DIV> <DIV>Any other time of the day I will go shopping or go for coffee.</DIV> <DIV>As for billing, I won't bill them for a no show because you will loose that customer. People always</DIV> <DIV>have their reasons or excuses for not being there so I just reschedule and they are happy and I forever keep the customer.</DIV> <DIV>I usually get about five no shows a year so I am not to bothered with this kind of loss. If it was any more </DIV> <DIV>then I would worry.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jack Houweling</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=VOCE88@aol.com href="mailto:VOCE88@aol.com">VOCE88@aol.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, July 31, 2008 9:15 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> No- shows..... again</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Just curious List,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How do you deal with a no show appointment?
