They have their own internal logic
[QUOTE=PaulHahn3;2219872]I can't remember how many times I haven't done as well as I'd hoped knowing the experience someone else had in a place. And how many times I've struck gold when others don't come close. There are just so many variables when dealing with human beings, even ones in the sales field. I've tried Silk, and it's just been OK. I go to RL and it was great. ! No logic applies.[/QUOTE]We do not always get to see it. In the end, this place is too much like dating a good Catholic girl. You put in the time, money and effort, only in the end, just when you think you might have some fun, you get a peck on the cheek and a quick "I am not that kind of girl, bye. ".
Not worth the drama. I will spend my money elsewhere.
Re-Tie Your Shoes When You Leave the AMP
Today I visited one of the Greenbelt AMPs. Like a good Korean wife, she tied my shoes for me. Several hours later I saw my SO. She noticed that my shoes were tied differently and asked me about it. Not an easy thing to explain, but I think I passed the test.
From now on, I'll re-tie my shoes as soon as I get in the car.
Strange Visit To Golden Wellness
Sorry, guys. I was on business travel for a couple of weeks and am not as timely as I usually am about posting. I had heard that they were under new management and had heard conflicting rumors about whether or not they were still open. I decided to go there anyway the day before I headed to the airport.
As I walked up the flights of stairs, I noticed the sign was different. Interestingly, they wanted to keep the same initials: GWT. Instead of "Golden Wellness Therapy," it's now "Georgetown Weight Training. " Go figure.
When I rang the bell, the same mamasan came to the door and led me to a room. Nothing had changed on the inside that I could see. They no longer have the cards where you get the tenth visit free. In walked June, a forty-something decent-looking therapist. She said that it was her first week there. Given her technique, I would believe that. I spent considerable time after the flip on my back being massaged before she turned her attention to the finale. Although I had laid the requisite donation for a complete session in plain sight on the nightstand, she still asked me what I wanted and went through a bit of negotiation, upsell, and the "I don't do that" routine. She finally completed the session to my satisfaction.
But, I left a bit concerned that her bedside manner might be typical of the new GWT. She clearly wanted a sixth Jackson added to the donation and tried to talk me down to a lower level of service.
I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else. Could this be the demise of a great AMP, or, did I just have a bad day?
