So I had an appointment at a barber for 6 yesterday in the northern Illinois area. I went right after work and made it there around 5:50. Someone was already in the chair which made sense since I stil had some time. But I noticed other people waiting and asked one of them if they were waiting. He told me that he was next and someone else was after him. So i asked when he scheduled his appointment and he sid he scheduled it for 5. At this point, I know my wait time will be around 90 minutes since there were two people ahead of me and another guy still in the chair. I'm ok waiting 15 to 20 minutes if things are running behind, but over an hour behind? That just seems like poor time management.
So I call the shop owner from my car and tell him I need to cancel, the only issue is that the appointment was made through booksy. So if you cancel, it charges a fee of $20. I called to see if he could reschedule me and he gets mad at this point telling me that no one has this issue of waiting over an hour, people dont cancel and how he could have given my spot to a different client. Of course no one wants to cancel, its $20 just to not get service, and I even tell him, my spot of 6 - 6:30 will not be met since I didn't recieve the service in a timely manner. So he goes on to say, just becuase I have a spot at a certain time, doesn't mean I'll get seen at that time and any good barber takes their time and will have a wait. I've had barbers I've had to wait for, usually 15 minutes at most, and if I'm not getting seen at the time I scheduled, thats just poor time management.
So I want to know if I have a good chance at disputing the charge based on the fact that I did not recieve timely service within 6 - 6:30. I feel if anyone ordered a pizza and it was 90 minutes late, you'd probably want to cancel it and eat something else or at least call the restraunt.
