>>2901710>you can't be assed to do small extra things.The first time it happens, I give the client a warning, e.g., "hey, you kept me waiting 45 mins so that means you bought me coffee."
Then I lay the hammer down: Show up late, I charge you late fee. Miss an appointment, I charge you cancellation fee. Can I come back when it's staged? Sure, but I have to charge you reshoot fee. You didn't photograph the attic crawl space, can you swing by and do that, anon? No problem, but since it wasn't on the shot list, we'll have to invoice you split shoot fee.
It's been my experience that when I have to fee a client, either it's a one-time thing and never happens again, or they turn out to be a difficult-to-work with personality and problem client who I end up dropping.
TLDR I'd rather people think of me as an asshole than as a pushover.
