Yes Cosette, there is a castle on a cloud
Stopped by the Castle and had a great massage from Kim, with a very nice NOVA finish. No upsel! 8. 6 I will be back.
Cramming down time increases their margin
[QUOTE=Bostonpeter; 1232595]Tried out Top Therapy, have stayed away from AMPs in the last month since I was getting crappy service, but I decided to try Top out.
Unfortunately, like their neighbor Papaya, they have a tendency to force 30 minute sessions on you, though they didn't seem to be busy in particular. Got "Jackie", skinny woman probably in her mid-late 40s, decent thin body with merely OK face, black shoulder-length hair. She kept reminding me that I had only 30 minutes, so it was very rushed or felt that way, her attitude was a bit bossy. Had a good enough time regardless, but I probably won't repeat. Seniors can PM for details.[/QUOTE]They mark the half-hour at 75-80% of the hour rate, which used to be the incentive to get you to spend extra for a longer session (like movie theaters giving you double the popcorn for an extra 50 cents). Now, they're doing the opposite, maximizing their per-minute profit, while shuttling more customers through the place.
If they can get 50 for the first half hour, why work another half-hour for only an additional 10?
Happened to me at 7 Corners recently, when I dipped my toe back into the scene. Showed up when they were busy, so Mira asked me to come back in an hour for "special price" of 50 / hr (which was actually the same amount another girl quoted me on the phone as a "special" the day before).
Went back an hour later, then when I got in the room, she started in with "ho-ney you come so late. Take half hour tonight. Forty dollar, good price." "I come so late because you tell me to come so late, and you tell me to come back for 1 hour / 50."
Almost left, but already had invested a lot of time, and figured it was worth a risk for 40. So-so massage, decent on the flip. Seniors can PM for details.
