Yea you know, a female who goes into our spas donates usually 20$. Because she's used to giving this at her spas, and because she didn't get a HE. Is why our spas don't like females coming in. But, if spa only gives to us what they give to female, then they ought to be getting same tip, and we ought to feel no different for doing this. If we wanted a good massage and no HE, we'd go to Hand and Stone and give 20$ tip. Why no do this in shitty AMP?
I'm very firm in my tip chart, I never overtip for horseshit and I never undertip, is always 0/20/40/60/80/100, with 60 being for exactly average (goodish massage, goodish behavior, allowing OTC, regular HE), and the others representing how close the experience was to Hand and Stone (20$), FS place (100$), or something that requires me to spend another 120$ to go down the street to another place to get what I left the home for in the first place.
Will the spa learn from their mistake when I leave 20$ or 0$ and tell them why? Probably not. But 50 people doing this or 50 people who would normally show up stop showing up, they either learn or go out of business. Either way, problem solved.
Final thought on this kind of tip slash shitty service slash place going out of business thing. If the place is a money laundering facility, are we sure that having no customers in a day or a week is a thing that the owners give a shit about? It's possible that the laundering business is worth far far more than the actual business, and that losing some of the mongering business or all of it might not even matter. Food for thought. Have a snack first though.
