I often find myself contemplating the business aspects of our favorite hobby, and end up always wondering why it seems to me that the girls in a shop - especially one where they are around for a period of time - never seem to share info about what a regular customer likes with each other. In my mind it would seem the overall goal would be to keep you visiting the shop as often as possible, and not having to spend time searching for what you might really like. I think this would lead, in the long run at least, to a more satisfactory customer relationship, better service levels, and consequently higher income for the shop as a whole, and also probably more for the girl as well. I have never seen any signs of this other than 2 isolated instances, both at my "main" spot where I am well known. One thing that does seem to happen is when I get a new girl it appears she has been informed that I am "OK", but it is left up to her to do what she wants. Better than nothing I guess. The other day I also had one of the long time girls tell me to come in and try any new girl that might show up, as it will help keep me from getting bored, and also help the new arrival make some money so they will be more likely to stay around long enough to see what their business will really be like. Now this expression of a business plan impressed me, and made me wonder once again why I don't see more of this. I guess it is driven by jealousy and territorial aspects, but in the end it is not the best plan IMHO.
