I can agree with how Wayne left here. Had he made a big scene it goes against the sentiment to begin with- he’s there essentially to have fun, hang-out, and earn respect. Has he earned the high mileage airline credit card perks? He has simply not accumulated the points. Many mongers have the magic all too quickly, while with some it takes a bit longer in time. His story speaks of a humble experience where he is working his way in. This step of hanging out and not being so desperate for a session will go a long way in my opinion. If it doesn’t, he has the choice: “Do I keep putting forth additional effort? Because I’ve already came this far… Or, like many other mongers in the thread have urged… Do I simply pick-up and move on at this point?” It’s a tough question that relies on a number of factors. Quality can mean more than quantity. And, thus patience & persistence maybe worthwhile. Just my honest opinion. When you become a close-knit member of a spa, there is no greater feeling.
