I did not see the first listing post so forgive me if this is a duplicate.
I tried my first AMP in DC recently. I went to jasmine and could not seal the deal. Here's what happened. Went to the back door and knocked on the door. No answer to I rang the bell. After what seemed like a minute or two MMS let me in a brought me to an attractive "therapist" who led me to a therapy room and shut the door. I loosened my shirt, took off my shoes, undid my belt and was met by another attractive "therapist". She informed me that we needed to switch rooms, grabbed my shoes and led me down the hall 4 doors. I thought it was odd that I was placed in the original room as it appeared to be a changing room (bras and women's cloths hanging on the wall). Once in the second room the therapist asked me if this was my first time there and I acknowledged it was. It was quiet for a minute and the she told me it was.6 for a one hour massage with a $ tip. After reading the posts I figured that a massage with HR would be a tip of.4, not 1.0. I also learned from previous posts that one should not bring more that they intend to spend so I only brought 1.3 (is that not enough? ). I asked if I could get a simple massage for a tip of.4 and the answer was returned. No, $. I explained that I only brought a.7 tip and she explained the accepted credit cards. I am definitely not using a credit card in this situation so I buttoned and tucked my shirt, tightened my belt and explained it was not going to work out. I was expecting a change in her demeanor but she was only to eager to let me be on my way.
Can somebody give me some advice on communicating / negotiating with these people and / or bring me back to reality on AMP rates.
