Lady Rouge (she of the Red Hat) agreed that neither of us would see clients in our home. (She is a licensed massage therapist and also teaches massage at the top school in CT.) There has never been an instance of a signing being refused because of the agreement.
Public libraries are my first choice of meeting places, for all the reasons stated already.
Restaurants are my LAST choice. Servers expect (reasonably!) that each person will order food and/or a beverage. The last time I had a signing in a restaurant the borrower had been eating fried chicken, offered me fries, and wanted me to sit in the already-crowded booth. I politely declined and told the borrower that I would wait in the lobby. |
