The eighteen minutes spent talking about the ex boyfriend and his toxic comments was deducted from my 60 minutes, and the timer i left in my car registered 63 minutes when i returned. i always leave a timer in my car to see if i am getting a fair shake, and this particular provider stated in her ad that she is not a clock watcher and her clients were not expected to watch the clock. i didn't watch the clock, i just wanna know for future reference if i am getting a fair shake. when i gave her the envelope with the offering, she looked in there and counted the money, and made a comment that there was not anything extra. i was also asked why I dressed like a homeless person, and this provider was wearing the same patterned fleece sweatpants she wore on our last visit. That is why i think hobbying is down, more money and less customer friendly service.
The other thing about the timer, if I overstay i want to bring a gift/tip next time, or at least leave early.
Another provider got upset because she wanted to wear shorts, and i asked her to wear jeans and a tshirt-nothing exotic or demeaning. She said she wanted to be the bad girl, while i thought i was paying for my fantasy (not hers.)
