Commissionable anons, I got a question.
How do you deal with a customer you just know will be a pain in the ass and can't be satisfied?
I want to open up slots again soon, but there are certain people I honestly don't ever want to work for.
Some I know are unplesant from other artists, some were a nightmare in the past (they usually were happy in the end, but I had stomach cramps and was stressed out to the max the whole time their stuff was here).
I can't just say straight to their face "you are a shit customer and I rather work with other people" or "last time you made my life a hell, find another artist to fuck up".
It's not even that I hate confrontation, I just don't want to give them fodder to post and complain about me/pulling me and my shop through the mud.
How do you tell people they suck as customer without fucking up your reputation?
I can only say "oops, sorry, slots are already taken" so many times before it gets obvious I avoid them.
