A while ago, I met (I thought) a great customer. He took me to the CR for half an hour, then bought another half hour when the first one was up. (So he ended up paying more overall......because committing to an entire hour upfront actually costs less for the customer.) He was very respectful and we basically just sat and talked the whole time. Afterwards, he said he wanted to keep in contact, and suggested that we exchange e-mails. He had nowhere to write his down, so I handed him a dollar to write on. Then he said, no, wait, here......and pulled out a $50, wrote his e-mail on that, and gave it to me instead! We e-mailed back and forth a couple times discussing my schedule, and then he gave me his number and said that I could text him instead of e-mailing if I felt it was easier. I texted him, and he has since told me he would be coming in to see me on a few separate occasions. He never contacts me for any reason other than to ask about my schedule. Here's the thing though - he has never showed up since that first night! He will promise to come in, and then always has some excuse why he couldn't make it. I can understand once or MAYBE twice.....but every time? Why even pretend you're going to come, then? Is it some sort of weird customer hustle that I'm unaware of, or what?
