Papaya. Suffering from success? And. Top Therapy?
So I had an itch that needed scratching, so I made my way down to Papaya (aka a dozen other names these days, as evidenced by all the Backpage ads).
It took a few extra beats than normal for the MMS to open the door and I was about to walk away. I do not like standing idle at the door. But she opened it and ushered me in.
On the way to the room, she asks me how long. I tell her one hour. She said something about 45 minutes and I said no. 1 hour. She didn't say anything else, so I pressed her (by this time we were in the room) and asked why she said 45 minutes. She said never mind. 1 hour.
I "get comfortable" and while I'm sitting there for 5, then 10 minutes, I'm starting to think she meant it was going to be a 45-minute wait. I again start thinking about leaving, but the door opens and a lady walks in, with a heavy sigh as if she just rushed down to see me.
Off to the shower. From the beginning, it was completely rushed, as if there was a queue of 10 guys waiting and I was holding them up. Short strokes, just enough soap to call it a table shower. She tossed buckets of water on me like she was trying to douse a forest fire. The drying off was nice and a bit playful.
Back to the room. Rushed massage. Short strokes, everything moving in double-time. Not relaxing at all. About 10 minutes into that, a little soft-touch and then she asks me to flip over way too soon. She starts negotiating with me and then says you gave $80, I'll give you $20 back. What? I thought she was talking about the tip, but then I realized she meant she wanted me done in 30 minutes.
I told her no, that I told MMS I wanted an hour and if it was going to be less, she should've been honest with me. I started to get off the table, but she pushed me back down, covered me with a towel and went to talk to MMS. As soon as she left, I got up and began to get dressed. I was putting on my shoes as she came back in and was very unhappy to see me leaving. She was quite insistent and said the MMS said 1 hour was okay. (Like I was going to say "oh, okay then").
I went to the door and I asked her if she wanted to check and see if it was clear. She didn't move toward the door, so I opened it, looked out, then made my way to the door. She was trailing me, asking me to stay. I went into the stairwell and she actually came into the doorway, hoping I'd come back in.
So, I left after about 20 min of rushed service with no completion and out my. 8. I didn't leave any tip, of course.
This is not typical of my experience with Papaya (I've been there many times). Once, I had gone and it was very busy. They let me know and I came back later, greeted with a bunch of smiles. The ladies are usually some of the best in the area, IMHO. Now, there's a MMS I don't trust and I have to wonder if I'll get the same sub-standard treatment next time.
In hind sight, I should've left when I suspected MMS was trying to say something about 45 minutes to begin with.
Please, Mamasans, respect our time and our money. Just deal with us honestly and you'll have repeat customers for a very long time. Are there really enough one-time clients out there for you to treat us this way? A little courtesy goes a long way (in both directions, yes?).

BTW, while chuckling over the various Papaya ads on Backpage, I saw one for Top Therapy, almost the same address, but off by one digit. I saw the signs, it's just around the side of the same building as Papaya. I was now too short on cash and out of time to start another 1 hour session, but I'm interested in trying out. Has anyone else been to Top yet?
