It's not about a boycott, it's about economics. So many of these ladies and shops don't realize that $1 in the short term can cost them hundreds to thousands of dollars in the long.
This lady got an extra $60 from transitbuf, hooray, but she lost him as a regular. Every time she saw him which was at least a few times a year she made $100. So to make $60 from this visit she lost out on at least a few hundred for 2024. Really Smart.
And it's not about him or any of us being cheap, it's just the market, at $100 she was in competition with every other girl out there who charged $100 or less. Even thought there are girls who charge less, if what she provided at $100 was worth it, he would go to her first. But by raising the rate to $160, she is now in competition with everyone whose rate is $160 or less. And like he said why spend $160 on her when he can get more bang (literally) for his buck some place else. They just lost business.
Also, there is a value she lost outside of money which is stability and safety, to make up for customers like him who will now search somewhere else she has to hope there are guys willing to pay that price, and who knows who that might be. He was a safe, secure, clean, drama free $100 she could count on... and she just pissed that away.
Also he wrote a bad review of their spot which means other people (like me for one) are less likely to frequent them... so again I hope the quick $60 was worth it.
I say this not as a hobbyist but as someone who just follows economic trends, if she was smart, even if she raised her prices for all new people she saw, for her regulars she should have kept it at 100, so she could have a steady flow of cash. At most raise the rate for regulars to $120 (blame it on inflation) But jumping to 160 is insane.
So I'm not going to this place, not as a boycott, just because it doesn't seem worth it at those prices.
