I know BBC has a great rep, and the couple of times seen someone has been most enjoyable. The girls are friendly, and they do their bit lovingly and conscientiously.
However, if I do my research, choose someone I'd like to see, work a session into my week, make an appointment a day in advance, and do my bit to be on time, I would hope that I'd find the girl there when I arrive. Understandably things can happen, but I guess I'd hope for some kind of consideration in lieu. Some compensation for my time and effort in scheduling time and driving across town and keeping up my end of the appointment. If the policy is to confirm appointments just before you come in, then I guess that should be stated somewhere.
Case in point: I schedule a morning session on the previous day, arrive for the appointment on time, and find that, not only is the girl I scheduled with not there, but there's no one there, save for the suitably apologetic receptionist. She can't tell me when anyone will definitely arrive, nor who's definitely on for the rest of the day or evening. I didn't make a big deal of it, obviously out of her control, but doesn't BBC do something for you when they can't honour an appointment in any way?
Also, had dropped by the previous Saturday am, to find only one girl and the receptionist there. Hadn't made an appointment on that day, so I guess I'm partly to blame, but is BBC actually open for business from 10am onward or is it just sort of a maybe thing, find out if there's going to be more than one girl when you get there.
Dont want to be a grinch, but if it were any other kind of service where you make a specific appointment, I would've been blowing my stack and demanding to see someone higher up.
