Sorry about that mate and I agree it's totally unprofessional and unfair. And it's good that you've alerted us.
I usually don't do such a long lead time when I book a lady I haven't seen before. If it's a first time visit I book 30 mins max ahead of time. Most of the walk-in ladies operate on a first come first served basis. More especially if they're in the budget-punt range. They chase volumes, so in the 1.5hrs of your lead time, if she gets two 30 mins bookings she's gonna take them. They say that this is to manage the risk of a no-show by you.
With such a long lead time, I would make sure to check-in frequently during the 1.5hr lead time and keep the lady updated that we're still on, let her know when I leave, call again when I'm on the way, etc. That way you can tell before driving too far whether you're going to be ghosted or not.
As I said, I totally agree with you and I also know very well the dissapointment of being ghosted after a long drive. The above are just some of the practical ways I would use to mitigate being ghosted. Lol and sometimes even when one has done all that or has booked with a 30mins lead time, the risk is still never completely gone. Some ladies will ghost you in favour of their preferred regulars who maybe also tip generously.
Unfortunately it is just how the cookie crumbles in this game of punting. Better luck next time mate, plenty fish in the sea.
