Summer breeze didn't make me feel fine
So. I was out running errands, and realized I could do with a spa visit.
Noting where I was for my typical weekend rounds, I looked to see what was nearby.
I had just a Plan A that day. I was in the Marlborough area and thought that I'd go for a bit of Thai. However, I was told that it was going to be at least a half hour wait. I declined and thought to seek fortune elsewhere.
Now, I could have tried for a half hour at Hosmer, but I like going the full hour at a new place to get the feel of it. Thing is, I didn't have quite enough to make an hour plus decent tip on me. So, I trudged onward.
Noting where my last two stops for errands were located, I thought about what was close by. There was QQ, where I visited once a few years back and vowed to never return.
The other place, well.
Now a fair part of me was thinking to hold off until perhaps sometime during the week, I could turn this into a visit to a new place up north, as I'd be in the Billerica area about midweek.
I should have listened, in hindsight.
That other place was Summer. Another location that was pretty much an 0/2 when it came to a decent visit.
However, my urge won out.
It had been a year and a half since my last visit there, and it wasn't a good one. I was shorted by pretty much half an hour, and the haggling wasn't in my favor.
I thought, "Well. Maybe things have changed since then. A year and a half is a long time in the spa world. ".
To be fair, I was wrong.
First off, the rates went up. Strike One, I should have listened to my better mind and walked. Still, I opted for half an hour.
Now Coco wasn't bad looking. Interesting short black dress, but wearing a face mask.
Got on the table. She went into the dry portion of the rubdown first, and she would lean her whole body across my back. Okay, not a bad thing there. Fingers found their way under the hem of her dress, and managed to tease the edge of her panties. All right then.
She managed to start teasing the boys fairly early on, though, and went into the feather touch earlier than hoped, still teasing. Flip came a couple minutes after that. She saw me nearly nose-first into her nice cleavage, and offered a quick look at one -- not sure if natural or a bolt-on, but it would have been a lovely handful.
Then came the haggling. Strike Two,. She wanted 80 for an HE. She gasped when I countered with 40. She returned 60. I had just 50 on me, so that was it.
After that was done (and a bit too soon), she did the cleanuip, and then a face / scalp massage that was not as good as other places, and then arm / hand and leg / foot.
And when she said it was over, I think I was still shorted by like 10 minuites. Wow. There's Strike Three.
So, damage = 50 house for half, 50 tip.
This place is now definitely on the "No Fly" list.
Not sure why I didn't listen to reason and wait a few days. But. Needs must, I guess.
So basically, they're still up to the old trick of enticing, haggling very high, and then shorting time, and now adding in raised rates (70/50).
Yep, definitely a no-go from now on, no matter my mood.
Hindsight: Should have waited the half hour at Thai, as it took me at least that time to get from Marlboro to Worcester (no highway), tried Hosmer, or maybe gone to Brooks. Or just waited a few days and try that new place in Billerica.
Lesson learned.
