Plumbers, electrician, mechanics will charge you just for coming to your house to give you a quote.
It’s called a “call out” charge. They will also charge you if you cancel a scheduled apt
Some restaurants will do the same if you cancel a reservation
Pretty astounding that someone can walk through life not realizing this.
Doctors aren't developing this strategy for no reason out of thin air. It's because they are observing a pattern of patient behavior that is losing them money. Doctors obviously wish to discourage this, not insult patients.
If their cancellation fee policy ends up hurting business more, they will stop. Most likely, it will not offend most people, and their cancellation rate will go down.

Well that’s just it. If business is good and are in demand, their head will be nice and filled along with their bank account so they don’t need you. If it’s a young doctor trying to establish themselves, you won’t see this. And really, most doctors stopped implementing that policy. It’s the ones that still do it that need a reality check and retire

I'm sorry but there's no room for good sound logic like the above on the OT.. 2 points deducted..

Hi, Doctor Norbert.
You were my chiropractor after I got into that wreck and retained Gordon.

I had a dentist try to charge me a no-show fee once. The problem was I showed up 15 minutes before, signed in, and waited 45 minutes after my appointment. I told the receptionist I couldn't wait any longer and left.
Told that bitch to sue me and got another dentist.
I have no problem with the practice for any job that relies on appointments and can't back fill a no-show. But there needs to be some sort of reciprocity for the ones that make patients/customers wait. The fact that there isn't and won't ever be proves how little the habitually late respect everyone else's time.
