Parking in front is a good blocking maneuver.
[QUOTE=MrLoudMonger;6096025]I just park right up in front of every massage place that it's possible to. (In Kenosha, that creepy basement place whatever it's called, it's not really possible). My particular pet peeve is going into a place, and there's no cars out front but two or three mongers inside already, who are hiding their cars. D'oh! Many places, none of the girls have a car, or if they do, it's often hidden in the back somewhere. If there's two cars in the parking lot, it's definitely busy in there.[/QUOTE]That's what I do too, I park blatantly right in front by the front door. It's kind of a blocking move and an indicator that if it's a one girl show, she's busy! Doesn't always work though. I hate it when you're in session and a monger comes in right after you and doesn't have the courtesy to go away. Come back later, please! I hate when they point to the room next door and give you the "sshhhh" and point to the room where a longer is waiting.
Sometimes when they're in conjunction with another biz you can have people all over the parking lot like Pink for example. But, I still see guys parking on the street and walking quite a distance thinking that they're immune to being seen by the little old ladies who live on the streets, right where they park their cars. Isn't that what happened to 52nd Street when it was Oriental? Guys were getting out of their cars with sunglasses and hoods pulled over their heads and walking a block to the spa. The neighborhood watch in that area even had a Facebook page. You might be able to search it.
Anyhow, calling ahead can backfire because they don't know who called when you walk in and they'll ask you, "you call?" And even if you didn't call you just tell them yes and you're in. The guy who did call? I've heard that conversation before. "But I just called!" "I give you 5 minutes free next time".
That's because they don't even have the basic courtesy of asking for a name and of course we don't want to give our name even if it's fake. I never understood that. When I call I give them a code name. Anything works. Frank, Joe, Mike whatever. Sometimes you can make the appointment directly over WeChat but then there can be conflict when the scheduler schedules another monger in at the same time. That will happen. One doesn't contract the other and mayhem ensues.
There was time when I went to BZ, I was asked not to park in front, because they know that guys see that and turn around! So when I was going there frequently I would park closer to Washington or in the back lot. That way it was easier for them to accumulate customers.
You hear the doorbell ring and then you hear "You wait 10 minutes? Okay?" Puts him in a room, 30 minutes later she sticks her head in the door and says "5 more minutes" !
The worst I ever had was, when I made an appointment with the one at Sunflowers that would do the plastic plate spit job, Jessica. 30 minutes became 50 minutes. But it was one of those January -10° days and I didn't want to get back in the car and freeze my ass off going in and out of another place. I was well rewarded, she was skilled.
At any rate you can park on 22nd Avenue just south of 50th Street if you want to park in front of Refresh. Not sure who's working there anymore. Gave up on it when they went to 70 and back down to 65. Talent was changing weekly. I liked Coco there, and later she went to 52nd Street.
You guys who park on another street and walk around the corner are the ones who make it look suspicious. Let's face it, massage is a normal service that people need, why be ashamed?
