The difference is almost any other kind of service has some professiona l or empirical standards, and is subject to the market determining their worth and viability. And people do refuse payment to counselors, doctors, hair stylists and everything else under the sun if they are not satisfied. Or they sue. If a doctor makes the wrong diagnosis and the patient dies, the family sues. If a hair stylist makes a lot of mistakes, they may go out of business. If a counselor handles a case poorly, they are subject to peer review. Even the pharmaceuti cal industry has some standards, though they have pretty shady ones. But psychics are not held to any standards, and they are able to set artificiall y inflated rates because they are not backed by any kind of standards. When a service has standards, customers can have some expectation s in mind, and then decide afterward if it met their expectation s or not. And businesses survive or fail on whether they meet customer expectation s. It's hard to know what to expect from psychics, at the very least you expect to have a reading delivered on time or without technical issues. Some of them can't even do that properly, but they take the money anyway.
I've said before that I believe relationshi
p readings should be banned on phone lines. If you actually had to walk to a medium, to their house or a spiritualis
t church - I doubt many would do it for fear of embarrassme
nt, and for mediums/psychics to put their foot down and go "I only saw you last week!". It's very easy from the comfort of your car, home to call a line and get reassurance that the ex will be back. It's become a quick fix for people, that cause debt, depression and people wasting their lives and money. Yes - it's people's own faults what they choose to do, but I generally think that relationshi
p readings on these lines should be banned.
