Question
An appointment was made for three haircuts with a barber, but in the end, they did not show up and did not notify of the cancellation. When asked, the barber said that in practice, he only had one slot left open. Is compensation required?
Answer
For the time he remained idle, meaning one appointment, half should be paid.
