This was a serious conversation.
I don't operate like our punk azz boy Josh. I have no problems paying for services as you guys well know I have dropped alot of coin in my years of hobbying.
For the record the conversation was between the owner and me and she just manages and owns the establishment. She doesn't actually cater to the patrons in that manner. So your answer is NO that was never even discussed. I really just appreciated a well defined explanation that she gave. It was completely a professionally on the facts conversation,
This should take care of all the Pm's I got asking the same question so I don't have to type the same thing to each of you guys.

Which Aloha ripped you off? There are two unrelated AMP's
[QUOTE=Stick54]I'm a visitor from the frigid north, as in New England. Since all of my local amps have been shut down, I was looking forward to sampling the local wares. I stopped by Aloha today, thinking I was armed with local knowledge from previous posts. As it turned out I was charged a $.8 fee at the door. After a decent ts and massage, at the moment of truth I was told that the additional fee would be $$. This seemed pretty steep and inconsistent with what I had read here. I negotiated a reduced rate for reduced service, and still managed to enjoy myself. But I won't be back if this is the quoted rate is the going rate. That's too high a price for the degree of service. Did she quote me standard rates, or did she think she smelled innocent money? Any perspective? Thanks.[/QUOTE]
These may have been related at some time in the past but now are not.
There is an Aloha on 5th Avenue near 34th street (older providers, lesser reviewed here - I have had a decent time there in the past but many others have not). There is a 2nd Aloha Spa in an industrial park off Ulmerton (younger providers and more plentiful and much better reviews here).
In Tampa Bay AMPs, the going rate for the door fee is .6 for 1/2 hour and .8 for a full hour with table shower. You should never pay any more than this and most places would not charge that. My guess is you looked like a horny tourist and a new AMP girl got greedy with you.
Sorry but once you showed you would pay a door fee of $.8, it is no wonder that you were quoted another $$ for fs. A total of $$$.8 is outrageous for an AMP. You should be able to enjoy the full menu most AMPs for around half of that.
CB is right with his Assessment.
I have been stung by the old hag on 5th Ave N Aloha many moons ago. The Aloha on Ulmerton was always my personal favorite. Those girls will work you over in a bad way if they feel they can.
Rule #1 is never agree to the first figure these girls throw at you. You have to know they are high balling you from the beginning. Its the hustle that they try to get you with.
If she said $$ I would purposely say $ and do my best to not go over 1.25 or just tell her no deal. Then get ready to walk out. If she needs the coin she will be all over you like bees after some honey. She already wasted time with you so she wants to get paid. So the ball is always in your hands.
The best getter done mode is tell her you will give her a tip on top of the agreed of price if your really impressed with her skills Of course your tip can be whatever you feel like it. I know one guy gave this girl a dollar and told her she needed alot more practice if she wants any more money. I was like dam thats a little rough but she needs more practice to play with the big girls. Can you imagine the name calling she must have done when he left... LOL!!
Better luck next time but it gets better,,,,,,,,
Happy Hunting..
