I was at the client site when the NBA said they were going without fans. That evening they announced that the season was suspended. 2 days later we are WFH for the foreseeable future. Just crazy to think about how it all happened.

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes. By the time I realized I messaged her and she said she can’t extend the time due to other clients so I suggested we reschedule for next week. She’s now asking for full payment of $175. I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives
