"So sorry bb..." Really, that's all you got, AF MMS?? I'm sorry but that's some weak ass shit! I don't know you, as I haven't been there since Sally's reign, but c'mon...show some damn respect for a gentleman's time. Most of us are very busy professionals whose time is limited and valuable, as is yours. It's really not that hard to be honest, make solid bookings, and to follow through... it's simply called professional integrity.
I haven't been to your shop in some time, but I've been eyeing some of your talent, namely Vicky (who I saw at PH over 2 years ago), but then I see these reports of double bookings, being placed in a fucking storage room, sending in other girls without explanation, etc... and I say to myself "Oh hell nah, I don't have time for this kind of BS" and I'll choose another shop that demonstrates greater respect for its customers and more honorable business practices. SMH... You can do much better than this.

If I get put into a waiting room, or worse a storage room, for more than 5-10 minutes, I’ll cut back to 30min appointment and save myself a few bucks. It’s pissed some people off, but I get asked to wait less when going back. If enough of us shorten our appoints (decrease $$) when amps pull stuff like this, they’ll learn that they need to slow down the revolving door. I miss when WSD / PP was operating out of 1 or 2 seeming legit 2 bedroom apartments. Less of a spa feel and less of a chance of having to wait…as there were no waiting rooms. Had some great times with Viola pre-Covid on the East Side.
I visited earlier this month and was shocked when I got a text with the names of 13 women working that day. I've never seen such a deep lineup. I've also never had to wait for a room, but I typically try to visit during times when they aren't so busy. The amazing thing to me is how consistent the service is, from woman to woman, there is definitely a "NYAF style" and they all seem to be trained in it.
In general, I try to be understanding about the difficulties they probably deal with all day, every day, when it comes to coordinating their schedules and accommodating as many of us as possible. That's why I've never had a problem waiting for girls to be ready, etc. I'm sure it's a nightmare on their end dealing with demanding and/or flaking, no-show clients (etc.). As long as they're also honest with me and respectful of my time, I don't have a problem; but I have zero patience for being dealt with dishonestly or inconsiderately, whether in this industry or anywhere else. Respect and consideration should be expected and should always go both ways.
The scheduling job can't be easy. . . I dunno, the market defines the expectations for what level of service we expect. If not keeping appointments or being late for appointments had a notable effect on their bottom line I'm sure they'd quickly figure out how to handle the bookings better.
Maybe there's an opportunity for opentable or resy here?
I remember years ago walking into Babbo and asking for a table, This was before Mario was outed. The host was dismissive and rude. He didn't care what my experience was because for the 300 covers they were going to do that day there were many many others who also wanted to be there. His being as asshole to me had no impact on their business whatsoever. As it turned out Mario found the threshold for the market's tolerance of bad behavior in an entirely different arena.

Keeping with the restaurant comparison, I know for a fact that some restaurants overbook because they anticipate that some of their reservations won't show up. Over time they can even come up with a percentage they can more or less reliably expect will fall off and then they overbook about that much. They know in advance that the method could lead to some pissed off guests who can't sit down on time and they accept those consequences in the form of a lost customer or a few free glasses of wine or comped appetizers because overbooking keeps the restaurant full and maximizes sales.
I suspect that no-shows may be a big problem for the amps and am curious if anyone can speak to that more. If it is then we have kind of made our bed.
