This has actually happened to me more than once, and I apologise that it's on a bit of a tangent.
I remember going into a parlour in Blackburn, many years ago, and the young lass on reception was absolutely stunning, and very welcoming, so I was very excited. She leads me to the room to wait, and the only lady working that day was like the ugly stepmother's grandmother. Obviously I couldn't stay, it would've been awful. The same thing happened again to me in Doncaster a few years ago, and I walked.
They must be quite used to punters walking in situations like that. I don't recall there being any fuss, but I just felt terribly disappointed, and I suppose it would''ve been obvious to the maid and the poor woman who had to accept the rejection.
