While I do not like it, flakes have been part of the hobby since the hobby started. I am a pre-planner and try to book ahead of time.
I take my word seriously. If I say I am coming I will be there. My mode of opperation is about an hour before the appointment I sent a confirmation of our appointment. If I do not here back I assume there is no appointment. No harm no foul.
Even with my pre planning and confirmation of the appointment I still find flakes happening. When they do occur I look at flakes differently. I see them as an opportunity to get out of the house and find a restaurant in a location of town I have never been. I have been known to sent a text to the provider who flaked on me some of the cash she could of earned plus a picture of the glass of wine and my dinner.
