Not every place ends the way you want.
[QUOTE=GretschMan;3033595]Visited HAPPY TIME on Madison Ave. , just north of Edgewood this afternoon. One young girl was there working by herself. Said her name was Bhan, or something like that. Early to mid-20's, cute, short hair, a bit stocky but still trim. Price was $60 hour.
As good as my first Indy AMP experience was last week, this one was about the worst I've ever had. Massage was so-so. About five minutes in, someone came in the front door and she left me to go greet them. I heard her tell them to come back in a hour (the walls are very thin) and them came back to resume my massage. Twice she left the room for extended periods of time (seemed like five minutes) to get hot towels for the wipe-down, both before and after the flip.
At the end, she tapped me to indicate it was over. I inquired about extras and she told me they don't do that there, only massage. Even at the offer of a hefty tip, she still said no. Who knows if this was a standing policy or just this particular girl? She left the room and I got dressed. She was waiting for me in the hallway with a bottled water. When I took it, thanked her, and started for the door, she saud, "You no tip?" I told her I'd offered her a tip before and she wouldn't take it. She looked a bit pissed when I walked out the door.
SUMMARY: Don't waste your time or money. Go somewhere else. I can't even recommend it for the massage.[/QUOTE]Just a few thoughts from someone that has been in your position before.
The girls working at these places are typically underpaid and overworked. If someone walks in while you're getting your massage, they have to leave the room to tell the person to come back so you shouldn't consider this out of the ordinary. I am sure every monger on here has experienced that multiple times.
Ultimately it's up to you as to whether to tip or not. But to not tip a few dollars because you didn't get what you wanted will likely kill any chance you have of returning and getting what you want in the future. Some places require a small investment and the building of trust before they open up to you. There are several red flags that massage providers look for, and your therapist might have picked up on some of those from you. As I've never visited this place, I can't advise as to whether you should expect more, or it's an investment kind of place that requires a few visits before the menu opens up. What I can say is if she put in an honest effort to give you what you paid for (a massage), you probably should have given her a small tip just because she did the work.
Maybe I'm too kind, but I've been to a number of places that are legitimate AMP's (they do exist) where you get nothing more than a massage from an asian lady. In all instances I tipped a reasonable amount like 10 bucks even though I walked out not getting what I wanted. To me it's just the decent thing to do as they did put in an hours work giving the massage and get very little of what you pay to the house.
