I arrived 12 minutes late to a 1-hour appointment after getting lost on the backroads of Woodland. Upon arrival, I found a text on my phone from 11:10 (two minutes prior) that my appointment was cancelled because I was 10 minutes late and that I would have to pay double ($120) to reschedule.
At 11:12, I texted Olivia and called her twice; both calls were hung up on without answering. She proceeded to turn the music up and hide in her garage (?) while pretending that I was not in her driveway. Eventually she texted me back that my appointment was now more than halfway over; evidently, she had slotted me for a half hour appointment after confirming via email that I had a one-hour appointment.
On the drive back to Presque Isle I picked up some pet clippers ($25) and have successfully shaved my cat's butt in ten minutes flat. It was much easier than I expected and I suggest others do the same before attempting to cooperate with this person.
In summary, some tips:
- Practice finding the place in advance of your appointment (it is a brown trailer with an RV/shack out front and a dirt driveway on the left deep down the New Sweden Road)
- Triple check the duration of your appointment as there's a good possibility you aren't booked for the timeslot that was confirmed by Olivia
- Don't bother calling, you won't get an answer
- If you are 600 seconds late, your hour is forfeit and you will pay double if you are desperate enough for a second attempt at the "service"
