To me that phrase is similar to what jwb said above - there's a bit of leeway at the end for finishing up, showering and whatnot...
E.g. most sessions have about 10-20mins leeway so that the fellow gets his
full booked time and still gets to clean up and dress in relative peace.
It also means that I'm not doing a mental countdown of the last few minutes or setting an alarm before time is up to make sure the fellow is out the door at the exact end of his time.
(I consider an alarm
after time is up to be fair game, though, because at that point we're back on my time and it's my choice whether I let a fellow linger or send him off once his allotment is up)
For me that phrase also includes a willingness to do some things off the clock - like meals, for example - although that may not be the same for every provider.
Funny thing is, though, that I don't even use that phrase in my ads. If you are a clock watcher (which is your right as a provider to choose how you do business) then word gets around and if you aren't, well, word gets around then too. *shrugs*
