Doubles is no different than any other date a hobbyists has.
And it's been said many times over.
If you men don't like what you see or she is NOT the woman you were suppose to meet. Then YOU have the choice to stay or leave.
If you stay, you've made a choice you can't be too miffed about it.
I already stated lady A was at fault for NOT making you aware of the change in doubles partner. I didn't discount that. She should have let you know when SHE found out.
However, she's NOT responsible for lady B not showing up. So you as the hobbyists. Ought to be in contact with BOTH ladies up to the moment you have your date. That way YOU have full hand knowledge of whether or not both will be there or 1 will flake out.
In which you then have the option to cancel or ask lady A if she can find someone else (which in this case, Lady A knew you wanted a double. And the other lady flaked, so lady A did what she thought was best and she found another lady willing to do the double.) Yes, she should of told you prior to. Yes, you should of dealt with it once it was present to you.
There's always a way of getting up and gracefully leaving.
As for negotiating the donation. There's a polite way of addressing the issue of the whole situation. That includes the donation you give and or leave with.
You stayed, you played and your miffed about it.
Next time make sure you communicate with both ladies.

Second when lady B (or I suppose C in this case) shows up and things have already started (as pre-planned for the RP part of the session) how does one gracefully get up and leave? Shall I stand there and negotiate how much of the donation should be returned, walk away from the entire amount of cash with a case of blue balls, or perhaps grab the cash and run out the door? How would you react to a hobbyiest doing any one of those three things?
