One of the best posts ever! It saddens me that you even needed to say things that should be so obvious - but I guess it's important to remind everyone of these key thoughts, and to treat these ladies with respect!
Gabby, I could not agree more with your entire post. It is a sign of disrespect (or complete lack of self-awareness) not to show up for an appointment clean as a whistle, including a minty fresh breath. Thanks for calling this out.
