I felt awful
[QUOTE=Blkninj01;1461367]Early this week I went to B&B to try it out again because I have not been to that spot in over a year. Was told that there was only one worker today, another appointment was coming, and could I come back later. While leaving, I saw the client with the appointment I figure coming up the stairs. I decided to go to one of my favorite massage spots that is located in the rear of a nail salon. Usually call first because they only have one room. Had no customers so I went into the front door instead of going to the back as usual to ring the bell. Paid at the front desk this time for a hour massage and was taken in the back by a fairly cute Asian girl whom I never seen before. I have to admit that the massage ranked about an 8. She took her time and never rushed it. She massaged me from head to toe, not missing an area. She did the flip and took her time before she went for the more sensitive spots to massage. After the release, she seemed to continue to massage for at least 15 more minutes and even gave me a quick pedicure. Was not sure what she was doing but I guess because I gave her very nice tip up front, she decided to hook me up. I left out very relaxed and will be going back again very soon.[/QUOTE]I went to this location and will confirm what you said. I messed up, however. While I enjoy the occasional "special" massage, this time I just wanted a thorough massage without the flip. She obliged and did an excellent job. Where I messed up was after I got dressed and departed, she stood outside as if I had done something wrong. She stood there for some time. Well, I assumed no flip, meant no tip. After my thick skull put two and two together I realized that I probably took away the only income she earns. I am going back to offer a tip without massage. I honestly felt bad. She spent time with a pedicure and did a deep tissue massage that was quite therapeutic. Oh well. I felt like a real dumbat$$.

Definitely you should have given 20 for a good massage. You are correct that their only income is the tips and some places even take a part of that or back charge them for supplies etc. Apologies are definitely in order here and nothing less than 40 is going to suffice so unless you are willing to give tbat much just don't bother.

Agreed

Yeah, just stop in one day and give her the tip and tell her you forgot to give it to her. She will remember that and take good care of you the next time you return. I have to admit that I did that once when I first started going to these places and felt just as bad. I came back 2 days later and gave the provider who saw me a tip and thanked her for the other day. She gave me an even better massage the next time I saw her.

[QUOTE=Marcus Weiner;1467866]I happen to know Khloe very well. Pamper Yourself is one of the very few non-AMP's around. The place underneath B&B in Catonsville is called Great Escape and it's a total rip-off. It's run by and operated with girls from the old TBC in Towson. A major upselling operation and they only advertise in the City Paper, not BP. Went there once and was disappointed, figured I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and tried a second time with the same result. I will never, ever go back there even though they are very convenient to where I live. I will drive across town to see Khloe, because she does such an outstanding job. She does a fantastic rub, very worthwhile. I would like to add that many of the AMP's offer FS, but it's not on her menu. Nonetheless, I go back again and again to see her because she's easy to talk to. English (or Engrish) is not her second language, and she doesn't really upsell. Scrubs are offered and I believe there was an additional charge for that, but otherwise nothing else. She comes highly recomended by not only myself, but by other's on here too. I want to go and see her but there are other priorities for the Weiner-man, right now. If you get the chance, you should see her, especially if you want a nice rub, by a very sexy, slender, AA woman. MW.[/QUOTE]Great Escape actually has a little note now when you go into the place that "they do no do massages"! I just left out and went upstairs to B&B who was busy that day so I had to go to another spot. May have to try out this Khloe.

Tipping
I have always tipped a minimum of. 30 but at one of my all time favorites myself and the girl became rather close and she did not want a tip from me.
The house fee was. 70 and she gave back. 20 which she said was her share of it. BTW she was not a regular full service girl.

The only part of that story I can believe is that part about your girl giving you cash back, maybe.
But who knows, stranger things have happened.

LexLuthter[/QUOTE]I am sure you doubt it but it is all true. What the hell do you mean about maybe, you think I am making it up? For what reason would I lie? I used to hang out with her all the day and while I wasn't it the room with customers I know what was going on. My relationship with her lasted for more than a year because there was no rotation and it was a one woman shop. The owner was my doctor for Chinese medical treatment.
All in all it has no effect on my life whether you believe me or not.

I know it was a very unique situation and it took me many visits before FS was even a possibility. In my many years of going there I had only seen maybe 5 different providers. 8910 reminded me of the place but with out the rotation of providers. The AMP I have been talking about was on the 15,000 block Reisterstown Rd. next to Fuddruckers, it was the second AMP I had ever been to.

Very similar stories to yours. We did things away from the shop together as well.

Right

It took a bit of talking to the owner to arrange that. We had a row and she went back to Flushing and took my heart with her.

Vs
With the decline of JHH, I was looking to add another Chinese place to the lineup and based on intel gathered RTTF I decided to try VS. Mindy did not offer TS but provided an excellent massage with extras and I left very impressed. Mindy is 5'6".27 yo. 120 lbs with long brown hair. Standard tuition applied.

Sky
Decided after seeing an unmark turn into Silk shopping center, I decided to visit Sky. Same experience as before. Will definitely come back again. I did notice tho that they have another room. I didn't see it but I heard it. I was in the room with the french doors when another monger came in for service and the girl at the door led her to another room. You can hear everything where he declined the shower etc. The service didn't disappoint but I wish the rooms were more padded since hearing the other monger dampered things LOL.
