We worked it out in the end. She added a additional 20 guests to the final count and added one hour to the bar service. Once we met in person she was a much better. I think in the end that her friend being the go between caused a lot of the issues and when it was all done I think she'd hire us again and I'd cater for her again.

I was fortunate enough when I was young to work for a man who had been in business for 50 years. He was extremely great at making upset customers happy. I saw him on more than one occasion talk to very angry and upset customers and by the time they left had genuine satisfied smiles on their faces. I asked him one time how he was able to keep his cool and not tell them off. His respond was "Son I have not been in business for 50 years because of the satisfied customers, I've been in business so long because I was able to make the unhappy customers happy" His words rang in my head through all I went through with this client and was the only reason I didn't bail on her and say see ya.

One of the hard lessons for me as a young professional was that I was great at taking and angry public and turning them in to a mob. At some point, my employers kept me locked in a back office. Eventually, I learned better than to be an aggressive and angry in public meetings.
