[QUOTE=DodgeOmni;5343821]My attempts to get back in the game have not been going well.
I decided to try one of my other former frequent places, Oriental Massage in Rochester. Pre-hiatus, I had been going there almost monthly for several years. It seemed to be a two-woman operation since I only ever saw two gals there (based on their resemblance, I assumed they were sisters). They knew my likes and dislikes pretty well and took good care of me.
For my recent visit, I was greeted by a new face, who rushed me into a room, requested payment up front (a change from my prior visits) in the amount of $80 (previously $70). I could see that the doors to the other two rooms were closed so it may be that the sisters were busy in those rooms. But based on the change in payment arrangements, I assume the sisters have been replaced by new management.
I'm accustomed to the brief interruptions to my massage that occur when the front door rings. Most places do a good job having the gals rotate the duty of greeting new arrivals. That is not the practice with the new team at Oriental.
In the first ten or so minutes, the door rang three times. My gal rushed out all three times. I knew the other two rooms were in use but I didn't hear the sound of these new guys leaving so I have no idea where she was stashing them. Regardless, she got back reasonably quickly to my massage each of those times.
Time to discuss the massage itself. Bad. She basically just kept pushing both oily hands *very* quickly along the length of my back. There was an occasional squeeze to my shoulders and neck, but otherwise, just gliding up and down the back. Eventually, she pulled my right arm up onto the table to work on it when that damn doorbell went off again (newcomer number 4). She rushed out.
She was gone several minutes this time, apparently long enough for her to forget where she was in her routine (even though I hadn't moved my arm after she left). She pushed my arm off the table and resumed the gliding on my back.
At this point I knew this massage was not going to get better, and that any potential extras would be performed just as poorly, but I had already paid so I decided to just ride it out.
However, newcomer 5 rang the doorbell and she rushed out. After she hadn't returned in a reasonable amount of time, I used the wall clock to start timing the absence. After five minutes ticked off, I decided to call it quits, got dressed, and left the room.
There was no one at the desk or in the lobby. (Still mystified where she hid all those newcomers.) I peeked in the staff area in the back. Empty. I considered tapping on one of the in-session rooms but didn't have the nerve.
So, I left. For $80, I got maybe 15 cumulative minutes of a very bad massage, and was then completely abandoned. I guess I can cross this place off my list.[/QUOTE]I had something similar happen I wasn't abandoned but I went to this one place in Warren on 9 mile. It was so frustrating the lady had to interrupt the massage like 6 times to people walking in. The kicker at the end it was also non erotic which I was shocked considering the location. I would have been so pissed in your situation.
