This practice needs to end.
Ninja, we feel your pain comrade. This is where we all need to unite and stop this bullshit bait and switch they've been running with a long overdue expiration date.
We've seen these ads for years where they show you a nice, young, fresh looking Asian girl and when you go in, you get a rather unattractive, Tails from the Crip, Granny Corps looking Mammasan with dry hands like she's been rubbing it in sand. They know once you're on the table naked with your johnson out and house fee paid, its an irreversible transaction and you might as well finish it. Well, no more, let's take action, you come across a place like this, wait till you get home, try another time and make a random call. Act like you're going for a session. 10-10 times they don't even care what you have to say, cut you off and tell you, "what time you come, you come now."Straight up ask them, "do you have any young girls because last time you didn't like provider, you like, fresh nice looking girls'. If she continues to act like she doesn't speak English to understand your request, then politely end convo and hang up. Its obvious there's no need to repeat business. And when you make the review on here, give us the place in full details so we too can make a random call and request for young, sexy looking girls. If they can't then let's just boycott that place. I don't just talk it, I'll walk it, hit me up, give me the info and I'll place the call. If your experience was with a Mammasan and she spoke English then that request will surely be taken into consideration when you're telling her that you weren't pleased with the service and you do not wish to see her. I have done exactly all that I mentioned and if some of you have been paying your hard earned money all these years and you are not being assertive to your needs, then you are either wasting money or have no one to blame when you're getting shitted on with piss poor services.
We can make changes, we are paying customers, we have a voice and we should have a voice. Too many mongers are allowing so much nonsense to go on and repeating, allowing the sub par service to continue. Can't see why we post on here to share intel and experiences but not able to ask fellow mongers for assistance. It'll only make the experience better for all to take advantage of, it can't be worse.
[QUOTE=BPNinja;3776733]I paid a visit to a Spa in Cambridge that I came across on CL. It is on Main St near Mass Ave. First impressions? They have definitely got the 'we are a legitimate massage spot' going for them. CL as a filter for IRS evading revenue is actually quite clever, but I'm sure this is tried and tested. I will say though that the location isn't just in the open, it can get pretty busy and it's highly likely you will be seen entering the spot. There is (was) a busy ice cream shop a stones throw away, and the you-haul and Church always seem to have peering eyes, nevertheless, I scoped, then made my way into the place. (Given that it looks legit, I'm probably over hyping, but 9:30 am visits to a foot spa by male clientele after all the WGBH nonsense would probably get the vicar suspicious).
I spoke to a lady on the phone who spoke decent English. My hopes were high. I step in and the place looks really professional. My hopes are raised even more. It is nice and clean and cover is. 5, but was starting to get some doubts, thinking maybe they just do legit massages..[/QUOTE]
