On the other hand, there are rare times when anger is the best response to get what you want -- I`m remembering my recent experience with Northwest, when they took away their offer of a business class upgrade and gave us a few free drink tickets instead....

They had a big sign saying: "We run on Baby Time. Thank you for your patience." I never felt rushed, even on weekends. Since we've moved I haven't been to the local studio, so we'll see how they measure up for her 18 month portraits. . . .

It's so frustrating when things like that happen! It's sounds like you handled it very well though. Oh dear, glad you got it all sorted out in the end.
