Depends on the place, but...
[QUOTE=Wino Rhino]First I want to thank you all for the information here. It has cleared up a lot of the questions I've had about AMP. I have figured out where I want to go for my first visit, but I am wondering about whether I should call first or just show up for a visit. What do you typically do? Any advise for a first time visit as well?[/QUOTE]
If it's a place that advertises and is known for providing extras and has a larger staff, then just walk-in. Let's face it, most mongers are flakes when it comes to sticking to appts anyways. I can't tell you the number of times I've walked into my favorite estab, which ironically is by appt only, and hear the mms pick up the phone only to hear her say something like this... "Thank you for at least calling to cancel, (insert a monger name)."
Mongers are spur of the moment kinda' people. Yes, we're usually always horny, but I won't know on Monday whether or not I'll be horny enough to wanna' withdraw $$ to see my ATF on Friday at 5:00 PM. The guy who makes that appt will cancel 95% of the time because he'll start thinking about things like, I really shouldn't spend the money, or I wanna' beat the traffic, yada, yada, yada. Problem is though, every other Tom, Dick, and Harry has the same idea as me on Friday at 5:00 PM, so I'd better decide before noon on Friday if I wanna' see my ATF at 5:00 PM, otherwise somebody else will be pokin' her and I'll have to revert to plan B, which let's face it, is never as good as the original plan.
