Good write up. Thanks for sharing. All should read and be prepared for such. It does happen.
“What I've learned over the years from the spas is that they happily accept any client coming in. Because you pay the house fee regardless whether you wait or not.”
And, if you are in the middle of a session, depending on how much time the new arrival wants, they may interrupt your session.
When this happens, it depends on my history history and relationship with her. If we have seen each other for years, have many out of spa adventures, have ate and drank with her and her friends at the spa, then an interruption and a request to “please wait honey”, knowing I’ll be at the spa for a couple of hours is no big thing.
But, if it’s someone I’ve seen only 3 or 4 times, and I’m thinking we are getting a good thing going and she pulls this, it’s a mixed bag. Or, if the MMS yells thru walls and the girl tells she’ll be right back, than it’s an issue.
I was at a spa the other day, I’d only seen her a few times, but we had communicated off and on. She’s no nonsense about wanting to make $, but she’s also a lot of fun. Cute, spinner, south of 40, and really nice. We were just getting into it, 20 minutes into the session and her phone chimes.
She says, “honey, this guy I do real quick, OK, only 10 minutes, I come right back”. I laugh and say OK. She brings in a blanket, and another girl and tells me her friend will keep me company while I wait. Her friend climbs under the blanket with me and keeps me warm till my girl comes back.
She returns and we pick up where we left off. When we were done, she asked if I wanted round 2 with her friend. Yes! Send her in.
Other times, I’ve been so pissed off with how it was handled, I never went back. They can do a lot to ease the pain if they want to take someone else in the middle of a session and wait.
I typically like an hour. But, it seems like an hour is a thing of the past. Knowing this, I try to be flexible. But, part of the problem is MMS’s scheduling us in 1/2 hour intervals despite telling them we want an hour. They don’t care.
There is one I’ve been seeing for over 7 years. So naturally I’m very flexible and understanding. And, if time is cut short she always make it up in following sessions in a myriad of ways.
And, I try to go at off times, when they aren’t as busy.
Anyway, thanks for the story and tips. I imagine places will start getting really busy before the Holidays.
