Compete shit show trying to see Mana at Joyful Bay
Probably the most disappointing and infuriating experience in some time. I ponied up for a session with Mana but from start to finish what a shit show.
Their website says PSE and I confirmed with the booker that PSE was the pricing listed. There was no mention of upcharge or what have you. So I brought the donation for 45 plus a little extra if I wanted to tip but when I get there, the booker sends me to a completely different door and a staunch white woman with a crying baby opens the door and asks me what I want. I told her it's the wrong door and I ask the booker, what's going on. Finally get to the right door and then boom, Mana says BBFS is $200 extra. WTF. Now I'm confused on if Mana is trying to swindle me or the booker is just bad at their job. Turns out it's the latter and I had to leave poor Mana feeling like shit because I left and the booker texts me mid drive back that I can Zelle them.
Are y'all really giving your Zelle information to a booker whose bank account you're now linked to??
Afterward they said offered to give me a discount to still write a positive review on Mana. Which now makes me think every glowing review of JB is BS.
Let me be clear, Mana looked fantastic and I would've gladly seen her. But now knowing that JB takes Zelle's, is making noise in their hotel to disturb other guests and attract attention. It's literally the opposite of being discreet. Avoid if these red flags resonate with you as well.
Thanks for entertaining my rambling of this inconvenient ordeal.
