[QUOTE=RocketDork;4784589]Got a private message from a monger who has one post from 2005. He wanted some information. Should I give it to him? LOL Rocket Dork.[/QUOTE]I got a message today from a "regular" member but can't find any posts associated with the name. I'm not even answering and I wouldn't either if I were you. Interesting that 2 members with high post counts get messages asking for info at almost the same time from members with almost zero history going back several years. Very strange.

[QUOTE=SaintChuck;4784274]I hate to say it, but the AMP scene is going to be even shittier than it was before, when the AMP's do re-open. I have talked to 2 girls that will not return to AMP work, they will go to work at nail salons. I talked to a woman yesterday and her boss plans re-open on June 1. This woman said that she absolutely won't return on June 1 and that the earliest she would go back would be September. The AMP scene might be slim pickings when they finally re-open. SaintChuck.[/QUOTE]One girl I know has now gone into real estate and already has 1 listing. The other is going to work for a bank as a teller starting 6/1.

Another one I know says her boss who owns 3 shops is contemplating a $10-20 per hour increase for a full hour. Her thinking is that the demand will be so great that raising prices will have little effect on the business. And, she is probably right.

[QUOTE=TJGeek;4785136]Can either of you give more details on what was being asked?[/QUOTE]Sure, Chinese apartments. Wanted a list of the ones still open. Also any AMP doing business out of the back door with both requests for Chicago only.

LOL Rocket Dork.[/QUOTE]I generally know most of the people that PM me, they are Senior members that I have PM'd with before. When I get a PM from an unknown, I always check their profile and then decide if I am going to answer or not. A few years ago there was a spa getting a lot of attention on a daily basis. I received a PM from a lurker with ZERO reports, asking for a lot of information. I brushed it off and didn't answer. Then he kept sending me PM's about this certain spa and wouldn't stop. I finally sent him a PM telling him that I wasn't comfortable giving intel to a guy with zero posts, therefore no credibility. Then this nut job sends me a PM that he will meet up with me to prove that he is real and not Uncle LEO. Needless to say, I didn't go meet up with him. LOL. SaintChuck.

We'll find out which girls have been addicted to the casinos, and which have been saving their money. I'm guessing that most will be back at some time. Exceptions might be like those who AvgJoe knows, who have better job qualifications and prospects.

These girls can and do make tons more money working at AMP's than working traditional jobs. The best part is, most if not all is tax free.

I don't understand the logic behind the whole thing with only offering 30 minute sessions. If a woman is working a 12 hour shift and can only do 30 minute sessions, potentially she can see 24 customers in a day. If they would allow 1 hour sessions then she could only see 12 customers a day. If they offered 90 minute sessions then she could only see 8 customers a day. I thought that for safety purposes they would want the staff seeing less customers, thus seeing less customers would equal less chances of contracting the virus. So can somebody please explain why they have made it so that the girls are potentially seeing far more customers. I really don't understand the logic behind this. SaintChuck.

More action = mo money!

The girls I know would rather do 1/2 hour massages anyway simply because they make more money. Generally about $50 an hour more.

From a safety point of view I agree with you. Less customers, less risk.

I'm also curious abut this 30 minute thing. As some of you remember, Mei and I moved to Temecula California last year but we're still running Sunshine Health from afar with our local partner Anna. Still legit by the way. So Anna has tried to convince Mei and I (or is it me) that the rules state 30 minutes. Heard some sort of pronouncement. I've heard zero from the village of Buffalo Grove though. We're aiming to re-open on June 15 pending clearance from the Village. Masks, extra sanitizing, appointments an no hanging out in the lobby.

So. What's the origin of this 30 minute thing? It's obviously riskier to see more people each day. Is there any specific mandate?

Thanks,

Bob.

We're sticking with the old rates. I feel like most people aren't swimming in cash these days. We're a few thousand in arrears on our rent, but the landlord was pretty decent about it.

I'd say all the girls I know are scared shitless to resume work. Now, granted these are mostly ordinary Chinese women who are just trying to make a living and sending money back home to China. I don't know any serious pros. (That's my official story and I'm sticking to it.).

[QUOTE=FranklySports;4785102]I hope that you are wrong sir. I stopped in at a shop in the KC K area (area still under lock down) I was greeted by 2 new ladies that were younger and cuter than the ones there in March. They weren't by any stretch of the imagination young spinners, probably a 7 on most scales. I was given good service at an expected price. My point is that the gals may change or move but I think there are others that will ready and willing to step up.[/QUOTE]
