I do not expect the lady to do anything if she is not feeling well. I am just happy that she made the decision to cancel. I would rather mess up my schedule than have the potential of catching Flu, Strep, etc... We all have bad days etc...

Things such as how much notice was given and how much time was reserved and how the other persons day was affected come into play.

WOMBAT gets it. If anything, I will be saving him the agony of being sick and any lost earnings from missed work days.
I do not expect anything, even a small gift if the client cancels due to being sick. I value my health over anything. If he is being dishonest about being sick then it's a different story...
