Question Sorry - she’s running 15 minutes late….

[Sundance69]

but my Fav. even she is late always text me and if she can squeeze costumer ask me if it's ok to do that

I don't want that kind of activity, favourite or not, I book for 1pm, I want 1pm .... I'm a paying a customer, I book a time, I expect that time. On occasion maybe 5 or 10 minutes, but if it occurs with the same girl, I drop them.

There are 100's of spas and 1,000's of girls ... there are many girls and spa owners who know how to appreciate a good long term customer.

But some people wait in line for a table at the Keg? I'll book a reservation and walk right on in generally. Most appreciate the booking and the longer term relationship (at least the smart ones).

Overall, I suggest everyone book an appointment, this walk in business is crazy, like hit a miss, not something I do.

[VinnyBulbarino]

you are talking like you are waiting for doctor appointment professional and unprofessional.They are all prostitutes.What do you expect?

I expect a certain level of professionalism. This is still a business, regardless of what they’re selling. Why do some spas stay in business, and others fold? Because the ones that last cater to the needs of their clients in a professional manner.

BTW, learn how to use proper punctuation next time you want to call someone out.

I think everyone has had this happen.

Fact remains, if there is a receptionist there is much more control and accountability.

My regulars I talk to always, BUT, never book with the girls, always book with the manager.

Another consideration here.

I had one of the girls say (naturally I no longer visit her), but she said a 1 hour appointment cost her money.

Her rational, she had to wait for me at my appointment time (lets say 7pm), the walk-in comes in at 6.40pm she had to decline and let another girl take the walk in.

My time is 1 hour, and another walk in comes in and the other girl takes the walk in again, so her rational was was this.

My appointment visit tip $100 and room fee $30 total of $130 VS the other girl, 2 half hour walk ins min tip $100 (2 x $50) , and two room fees at $10 each ($20). so $120. BUT ...

She could have, 2 half hour walk ins $160 (2 x $80), and two room fees $10 each ($20), could mean $180.

This girl naturally a hustler was prepared to take her chances, and lose a regular. But fact remains, her math is likely accurate, certainly close to break even.

This one had the audacity to advise me "NOT TO VISIT TOO OFTEN, MABYE ONCE A MONTH", she never saw me again (except in the hall way)!

Not being overly educated, one might suggest her chances longer term were better with a good regular, who will bring a few "nice things, gift cards" etc from time to time and a more stable income.

I think many of the girls are like bulls in bullfight, they see red (cash) and charge ... not enough regard for the longer term opportunites.

Overall I'd suggest most of these issues are alleviated if there is a manager to ensure regular customers get the time they booked. Frankly I won't wait more than 5 minutes, 10 minutes I'm dressed and on the way out.

For those in this area a long time - formerly Kathy at Comfort Foot was famous for this, a 1pm appointment time she would run in 20 or 30 minutes behind schedule, all day long, sometimes seeing 12, 13 or 14 customers in a day.

I guess it helps to be popular, HA!

I'd be interested in comments long this line as well.

Yes, I remember Kathy well,

It’s very common, it’s basically first come first served, even if you have appointment, especially if you are a regular, they think regular customers are flexible, they don’t want to turn away walk in ( possible future regular) there is no loyalty in this business from the provider side

It’s the assholes that want to see the other girl , even if she’s busy , if she leaves the room I just get dressed and leave , even if I’ve paid the room fee , happens too much these days

 

[Distortion]

5 mins max or I bail. Plenty of fish waiting for my money when I walk in the door elsewhere. The only time I will wait is when I’m first appointment and she’s delayed in transit from the far east.

 

[I am here for you]

The worst thing was some spa owners squeeze in a walk in for halh hr even though she knows her girl has appointment coming over in 10 -15 minutes.

Revisit all this in 6 months
Most of these places will be closed by then

The DOG AND PONY SHOWCASE, I don't understand why the managers allow this. The girl is booked and she's busy with a customer .... sorry, NO DOG AND PONY, OR YOU!!! (Think soup nazi). HA

They don’t want to lose customers, they won’t even invest in cardboard come back at ?? Sign , owners don’t realize the customers on the table in the middle of a session are more important important

You’d think that some of us who invest $10,000 or more a year supporting our favorite team might get to sit at the front of the bus instead of the back…
I’m done venting…thanks to all who chimes in…
Time to have a chat with those involved…

 

[daty869]

They (girls and spa owners) will triage you- if the guy running late wont spend $ if he doesnt get his 1h, and you, loyal good client, will cuck out to a shorter session... guess what? They are rewarding that poorly behaved dude EVERYTIME.

Its $. All of it is $ so stop getting it twisted about being a good customer ect... if you are a strong and reliable customer, you will get the shaft cause they know they got you. Get it?

Thanks - already had the discussion with those involved. And have been away for 11 days - used to be 2 or 3 times a week…
They might notice in a few weeks that I’m missing…

It's a losing strategy, avoiding a dependable regular in hopes of multiple guys who just visit the spa by chance. Like you, I would stop seeing that girl, and I would be sure to visit other girls so she could watch. Most of a day for a spa worker is just waiting around, so she would likely get many opportunities to watch you go by.

I went in as a walk in recently. Alas, to my surprise, every single MPA was busy.

Two of the women came out to talk to me, to make sure I wasn’t going to go away. And the person I was asking about - they knocked on her door to see when she was done. It was super uncomfortable for me to be there - three out of four customers had their session interrupted; some more than others. Anyways I ended up waiting for a bit and got 30 min in.

 

[Buaya]

In these time,more then ever, every spa is trying to hang on to every customer - walkin or those making appointments.

Even when an appointent is made, there are times when they will try and squeeze a 1/2 in even though there is only 20 minutes available. This is especially true with spas with no dedicated receptionist or the owner is running errands. A receptionist cost between $150 to $200 per day. That works out to 5-7 bookings which most owners are not prepared to sacrifice.

We, as customers obviously have the final say. Walk out or stay. Repeat or not.
However, it seems some of us here feel very entitled. For the 30 minutes or 60 minutes that we pay to book their time we feel that we owned them or the spa owes us.

I have to agree with this...there's definitely a sense of entitlement with some guys on here. Do I get upset when my appointment is delayed? Of course but shit happens and most of the time it's delayed because other guys didn't show up on time or the guy before you is taking his sweet friggin' time leaving after his session is finished. Nobody bitches like crazy when their doctor's appointment or whatever else appointment is delayed but when the spa appointment is delayed by 10-15 mins, all hell breaks loose lol. Unless I'm on a tight schedule, I'll just take a shower and surf my phone for a bit...15 minutes goes by rather quickly.

And yes, nobody likes it when the spa tries to squeeze another customer in before their appointment but from their perspective the walk-in is a sure thing. There are so many guys that book an appointment and then don't show up or even bother to call the spa to cancel. Unless you are a regular customer, they don't know the responsible guys from the fakes so many spas are trying to balance taking the sure thing at the risk of pushing back the appointment time. As a customer, I don't like it either but I do understand why they are doing it. If you are a regular customer, hopefully they will try to contact you first.

Recently I booked my fave for 5pm. The owner called me (which she almost never does) and asked if I could come 15 minutes later. Apparently some walk-in came around 4:15pm and insisted on an 1hr appointment (obviously another entitled dude). My fave didn't have a customer all day so the owner was just trying to give her more business. If I was inflexible, she would have lost out on that customer but I was fine with it.

Like you said, the customer has the final say but man, too many guys are expecting flawless execution at these spas. It ain't gonna happen...even at very well known establishments with full time receptionists, I've had to wait 10-15 mins many times.

I don't agree here, I am usually met on time at most spas, if it's a delay it's usually on the girl.
If a customer comes late the apt should be cut short ....

I book all the time and find that I am almost always on time, with 5 minutes.
Can't be perfect, but generally I find booking is very good for my schedule.

I can say, appointment times almost always met Z-one, V-one, Comfort Foot, Utopia, Kerr St Wellness, (Maple when I was going there), and my few visits at SL West have been perfectly timed. So good on management in my mind.

 

[OG_funguy]

I would say it is entitlement to offer subpar service or purposely bump a gpod client (knowing that they will come regardless) and then expect them to return.

No one is making a show of it, shorting tips, or causing any trouble- most are saying its a good reason to spread the $ to other spas.

You are such a white knight bitch these days, stick to shilling and leave real discussions to brains operating on their own accord, pussy.

lol, I hobby way more then you…and just being realistic to what is actually happening. If you feel that entitled, go ahead and stop going to any spa that you feel has disrespected you, I could care less. There’s no such thing as the perfect spa. If you hobby as much as I do, you would know this. It has nothing to do with being a white knight…

I’m not saying spas are late most of the time, I’m talking about how customers react when they do encounter a delayed appointment…

 

[OG_funguy]

Show one example from this thread that is entitlement. I will wait... you literally agreed with the post a few pages back.

Thats the problem with you shills- your opinions and thoughts are void and useless. There is no substance or backbone behind any words you say, so the value is actual 0.

You hobby more than me, fantastic. Thats amazing for you and your parasocial life steeped in only getting personal interaction, be it social or sexual, when you pony up some $.

Calm down lol, you have your opinion and I have mine. This is not a spa thread or a review and has nothing to do with shilling, it’s just members sharing their opinions. I already said several times that I also don’t like it when my appointment is delayed. I simply shared the main reasons why it happens. If someone wants to shun a spa because they feel disrespected when they have to wait 10-15 mins, go ahead.

And if my thoughts and opinions are useless and void to you, then just put me on ignore. Instead you are following me now
