And?

Bernard Shaw once said "Although I cannot lay an egg, I am a very good judge of omelette "

ie, we dont have to open our own orgs in order to criticize and offer suggestions publicly.

I don't know man, I was just posting my thoughts when I said what I said about the prices. I wasn't trying to spark a serious conversation haha. I am here just to have fun after all.

I'd say Bernad Shaw is an idiot. I cant think of a single person who makes omlettes being capable of laying an egg, can you?

Ehh...the point is you dont have to lay an egg to judge its quality.

Exactly! You jist chose option 2!

you are suggesting 2 options - to take it or to leave it. you also claim everyone here are addicts. so obviously leave it is not an option. and if take it is the only option, then that must be done on some common terms, such as better choices for us, not just because randomly there was a hike out of no reason. that is what everyone is saying here.

Doesnt seem random to me. Quite frankly im surprised it did happen earlier.

Leaving it is always an option. You act as if korgs are the only place to "get it"

If you're upset with racial injustice you can either leave America or take it. You act as if America is the only place to live. Leaving it is always an option.

^^^^^
That's what you argument sounds like. Yet there was another option.

You equate mongering with racial injustice. Wow.

 

[Rahmyeon1234]

How about this.

If you dont like an org. You can 1. Patornize them (aka take it) or 2. Not patronizs them (aka leave it)

 

[RocketmanAR]

No, I equate your rhetoric with another rhetoric that is commonly used.

 

[Rahmyeon1234]

Yea ok yet you literally follow my EXACT rheoric but try to deny it.

Are there orgs you dont like? Yes. Do you continue to go to them? No. HENCE YOU LEFT IT!

No, I continued going, just selectively. and I wouldn't cut them any slack in public, ever.

The problem of your rhetoric is that it eliminates complaining as a form of protest. And a form of protest is an important thing.

Ok so basically you say i dont like this i dont like this i dont like this... yet you continue to patronize them.

Gents...it's a $20 increase. Do you complain this much when your favorite Tea shop raises their prices? Do you demand a better service or atmosphere? Do you demand the shop be cleaner because the tea went up?
It's just like every other service industry establishment, prices go up.
Go to that Tea shop or not, it's up to you. If you demand better service for an increased price of goods and it doesn't happen, go to a different Tea shop....
It's 20 bucks...

peach should lower thier donations

peach should lower thier donations

That would be a savvy move on Alpacas part because she's been detached from most orgs for a while now. The problem is girls cut. Girls will want to work where they'd get the most total $. Peach can't afford to operate at a loss initially.

As a matter of fact, people do. You won't shop in wholefoods if it looks like a shitty 7/11. But you are missing the whole point here. A 20 increment to some big org is 24k extra a month, where as the actual RA will likely see about 1.5k increment. So there is nothing wrong in sticking together and voicing out a complaint. It is not like the whole increment is going to the RA. No one is protesting the 20, but the principle/reason behind the increase. This hobby is expensive as it is, and if you are a frequent visitor, it piles up. But you will be ok with it if it is a reasonable change. So it is only natural to protest unless there is a justified reason - such as we are going to give the RAs a 15 min break instead of rushing the hour into a 50min session, less appts per day so balancing the equation with an increase, etc. Rents are down, activities are pretty much the same given it is still tough to book the good ones. I can understand why some RAs raised it during the lock down, especially in East bay due to low turnout. But that is not the case for all the orgs. They are simply increasing it now to ride the wave. To quote a po, price is going up because others are doing it. So it is basic common sense to question an undesirable cost, whether it is 20 or 100, especially when there is no change in the service being received and the ones offering would have continued it that way if not for a collective change from the orgs. While there is nothing wrong in voicing out your complaints, at the end of the day it is a matter of supply and demand. If enough people are unhappy, and decide to communicate it, they are going to look for alternative options. There is nothing wrong in sticking together and voicing out complaints. If I want to reward someone individually, I will express my gratitude through a tip. That worked just fine before.

They dont have to lower it. But if they can attract decent RAs based on the promise of higher turn out due to unchanged rate, they will flourish. Then the premiums from others will be less frequented and peach can still be a go to choice for those who just want to scratch an itch. And with enough business, it won't be hard for Peach to attract good girls down the line. This way you ensure price hikes are done for economically justifiable reasons for both parties involved. It is not like the lockdowns have improved the income for all the guys here.
