I hopped onto my assistant's email to check something out and found two emails from two different providers.
One was:
"ok well like i have stated before i have no problem giving refrences but if someone from p411 has that many ok please do not waste my time!!!"
The other was:
" I do not give an "okay" to a client unless I would genuinely see the client again myself. I usually make it a point to converse briefly with all clients I see prior to meeting in person. I would suggest the same for [the provider you work for] as well, to get a "description" from the client personally. In the future I would appreciate it if you would NOT send anymore inquiries regarding clients. I keep all info strictly confidential to respect the privacy of any clientele as well as myself.
Thank you & have a wonderful evening"
I responded with a post that I'd made on another forum about WHY I screen the way I do, including asking for info on a person who has a lot of okays, and also asking for a physical description.
Mainly it boils down to circumventing certain issues (shortchanging, time-wasting, bizarre behavior) while allowing me to extend more trust and be more willing to go out of my way if they have excellent references and are known to extend time and tip.
The physical description helps me feel more comfortable that I'm meeting with the actual person who's real world information is linked to that account.
I just want to be like, "listen, you stupid, snotty bitches-- You second provider: you're not protecting your confidentiality or your privacy since that's already been blown to smithereens if you have ANY graphic review. You're just being a high-handed cunt who is acting as if you're protecting the hobby when all you're doing is making it potentially more dangerous for those involved should LE or someone else get ahold of that profile. And you, the first provider: among other prime examples, there's a guy in Dallas that I didn't see who had over fifty okays, but came to find out that he's a huge time-wasting needy douchebag. Jackasses aren't jackasses all the time but it does help if, LIKE GINA RECOMMENDS, you actually SUBSTANTIATE okays and dig a little bit deeper than just taking a gander at their profile."
Stupid. Fucking. Bitches.
