Calling electricians, builders, plumbers etc

Just wondering- at what point in your training do you attend the course on "giving the customer a date + time to expect you, then not bothering to turn up or even phone with an excuse or apology"?
No replies expected today.
Thanks.

Just before the 'how to look at the problem, suck air between your teeth and say 'I don't carry that part with me - I can order it but it'll take 4 weeks to arrive' course...
