Paula is especially aggressive on asking for the tip upgrade. She is kind of playful until she gets to that point then left me cold on how hard she pushed.

I suggest we all cut back on the demand to see if the free market still apples to these places. Inflation has hit this industry big time becasue we all allow it. Rushed out the door in 45-50 minutes and haggling over a tip that has inflated 40% or more in the recent past. Inflation for what ? Because, just like the big industries now in this country, they demand and get what they want for less service and more money and fees. We are our own worst enemies. There will always be some guys with more money than brains, but since these places are so money conscious and intensive, if a substanital amount of our membership cuts back on demand and maybe opts for other diamonds in the rough, there should be a noticeable change in how customer friendly and reliable the visits become. Just a thought, as I have opted for some store brands recently and have found some enjoyable and productive providers. Just a thought !!!

It's really no problem for the girls, they can cut back on service if we feel the need to cut back on money. Sounds like no one wins in that game. Actually you can still get the old standard service for the old standard rate. In my opinion many of these girls have upgraded their service and expect us to do the same, that's why they ask for the tip ahead of time in order to gauge how much to service to offer.

With all due respect, I have not noticed any real upgrade in service that is provided in the shortened rushed sessions. This is my opinion from a hobbyist's perspective.

I guess we are not going to the same places or seeing the same providers. I have had plenty of upgraded sessions and never get shorted on time. I guess just my luck.

It's not your luck. You have the time and where with all to cultivate relationships with providers and mamasans over the years. You have mentioned that many times in the past. I suspect your situation is not that of a regular hobbyist. Good for you but not realistic for most.

Wayne's point holds true in some places - bs' point holds true in some places. The reviews in this forum reveal where each is correct.
I would like to point out that many of the complaints from hobbyist's are about those all star spas where supposedly the super stars are and you can't go wrong. Evidently many guys are disappointed or pissed about haggling and shorted sessions and screwed up appointments. These come from high volume spas and top tier providers. Whatever the market will bear.
