Some Providers have no loyalty to their client base no matter how often the client has seen them or how long they have known them for. There are plenty of stories on this board and elsewhere of clients who after having been a long term client (2 - 5 Years on average) of a Provider and thought that they were on "Friendly" terms with that Provider. That suddenly found themselves getting ripped off by that same Provider. Some Providers also seem to feel that the client is very replaceable (i.e. there is a long line of horny stupid guys outside their door just waiting for their chance at some "nookie") and they really don't care who or how many guys they piss off. If necessary they just travel or relocate and change their name from time to time.

Thank you very much. That is a very thoughtful insight and is another piece of evidence why economists and others were wrong from the get -go to have proposed the RATIONAL ACTOR MODEL. The only thing a rational thinker could have concluded was that no human being ever behaves according to rational impulses, or s/he could never have become human.
That is not sarcasm. The very qualities in us that allow us to defeat great odds or survive very unexpected conditions defy rationality. Courage, extreme resilience, will power, and the many strengths of character needed to survive the life of a provider, along with some other attributes unique to each person defies the concept of a purely rational actor.
If such a profession [as a provider] would defies the rational mode to a significant extent or in significant areas, why expect any rational responses from an individual whose entire being is coded upon the opposite trajectory?
This is not a pejorative at all. All of us are in non-rational modes of existence if viewed from the relative trajectories of each other.
Some choose to study insects for a living, others to make money without end and without any other rational goals, including any ethical boundaries. Yet others indulge in violence, some paths praised by society but others not. All engage in irrationality, thinly cloaked in arguments of greater or lesser degrees of incoherence and syllogic falsifiability.
Indeed, the very term "logic" is a misnomer, because all "logic' and "rationality" ultimately boil down to a set of axioms and lemma that are nothing but personal convictions, i.e the height of irrationality! So, why should the irrationality of a pre-paid special be so astonishing?
Thank you, dear friend, for opening the eyes of an arrant idiot.
I'm one very lucky motherfucker then
