The survey asked respondents their opinions on when no-show fees should be charged. The results found that over half (59%) of Canadians think that charging a fee is justified when appointments are missed at the dentist. Respondents were also supportive of no-show fees when failing to attend appointments with a doctor or medical specialist (57%), a hair stylist or barber (53%), or a pet groomer (51%). However, Canadians seem to be split on charging no-show fees for missed reservations at restaurants, as 44% of respondents said that the charge is justified, while 48% said they didn't support the policy. Which do you think should have a no show fee?
