Disconnect like this happens between schedulers of lesser companies v. what happens in the real world, especially with with phone contact followed by visit assignments. You did the right thing by contacting the scheduler when things happened "outside the box". You saw a train wreck coming and knew that the blame would fall on your lap, as well as countless minutes trying to justify actions that were beyond your control. The better companies/schedulers understand this and support shoppers. The lessers find a way to blame shoppers for their lack of communication with clients.
