Time can be reflected in the tip
[QUOTE=Atmatic123;2000238]This topic came up a while ago but forgot what the verdict was. Basically when does the timer start, is it when you pay the mama for the room or is it when the girl enters? I've actually never had a full hour I think the only time I did was with Chanel at 7. All other times I say it ranges from 40-45 min? Also seems like the time starts as soon as I enter the room. Also do the girls tell the mama to knock? I swear everytime they leave the room to get a hot towel as soon as they get back 5 min after the knock comes BS!! Another thing to when the enter the room why do they always leave this annoys the fuck out of me too I've had some providers enter and then leave for what seems like 10 fucking min. Once I was waiting in the room for 10 min the provider came in greeted me and then left for what seemed like another 5-10 min, fuck that was like almost 20 min!! Also so many of the mamas are bitches, only Chanel at kison and the one mama at roses were really nice, all others I've encountered damn *****![/QUOTE]If you feel you got less service due to time, reflect it in your tip. If they ask why, explain it to them. Guarantee next time they don't take so long.
If you pay upfront, then tell them to hurry back...and discuss this when you finish, if you want to repeat with them.
You had me until the mamas
[QUOTE=Atmatic123;2000238] Also so many of the mamas are bitches, only Chanel at kison and the one mama at roses were really nice, all others I've encountered damn *****![/QUOTE]I have had the opposite experience of yours. They are selling their product, the girls, when I go there. It is all smiles and cursory questions leading me into the room. She then displays her wares (if more than one girl is available) and then it is a quiet nod when I leave. The only negative experience I had with a mama was at Aloha TLC a little while ago. She led me to the room and asked for the house fee, at which time I asked for a line up first. She starting asking me why and I just politely asked if I could see who the massage girl was. 5 minutes later this older woman (late 50's early 60's) entered wearing lingerie. She wasn't a MILF. She was an older woman in underwear. I indicated I was looking for someone shorter (an excuse I use when not finding a provider I accept. I find it not as insulting as "looking for someone younger" or "looking for someone who weighs less than me") and I got up and left. As I was walking out, both the mama and the mama's older sister began harassing me and telling me I was banned from their fine establishment.
Other than that experience though, my mama experience has been rather pleasant. If you are disgruntled over the overall mamas experience, check out Ivy at Empire, I have yet to partake. Some close encounters but time has been slipping through my fingers lately. But in reading the threads, she appears to be a class act.
I wish you better luck than what you have been having.
Do they know who you are?
How many of you mongers are known to either the mamas or the provider as being reviewers on this board. In other words, when you walk in the door, do they know they are going to be reviewed. Like when a food critic goes into a restaurant and is recognized and gets better service, does the provider turn up her game? Also how do they find out? If the service is better if you are a reviewer, why hasn't anybody made t-shirts or name tags saying "Provider Inspector #102" or issued press passes to regular members of this board.
Just wondering about the whole process of having a provider know who you are because I have NEVER been asked if I write for this site or other sites.
Things That Make a You Go ..... Hmmmm

You pay the standard fee and go in to watch the movie you choose. Some movies are 3 hours some are 90 minutes. Some are so good you stay till the end of credits while some movies are so bad you walk out 15 minutes into movie. - No refund.
Sometimes you go out to eat, this time it may be Graces Drive In, play for your order, get your meal and walk away from the counter to eat. Sometimes you go to a place like Alan Wong, etc, sitdown, drinks, appetizer, main course, dessert, get the bill and pay a. Tip, discretion on percentage. I've walking in with people that had a bad attitude going into the resturant and the server felt the vibe and the service was shitty, while other times going into the resturant with a great attitude and the service was excellent. And who in their right mind would pay the tip before receiving to food.
HF doesn't nessesaraily mean 1 hour in the room. Tips depends on the customer although basic tipping is 1.4 - 1.6 (something like basic food tips at 15%) sometimes tip more, sometimes tip less. It depends.
I'm with Hypo on this one
I agree with Hypo. The house fee is to rent the room for 1 hour (no less). It is the provider's job to fill the hour with whatever it is you want. Even YMMV girls are supposed to do things like massage afterwards, chit chat, etc...something to fill the time. If they try to usher you out, then tell them, your time is not up yet. They know.
Also, I understand that MS will knock on the door to "remind" you that it is almost time. You need time to get dressed or rinse off, whatever. But it is annoying when they do it 20 minutes early and the girl says time's up. Just tell them "no, it's not. I still have 20 minutes left." That is just bad customer service. That is why I love Empire so much. Even Tokyo Spa didn't knock during the daytime (I don't know about at night).
[QUOTE=HypoLuxa;2000763]Hi H808... If I may, I do understand the point you intend to make, but I have to respectfully disagree. I don't feel that you can compare AMP services to a restaurant because it is not a restaurant. It is what it is... A massage parlor where you go for "service." That is like comparing apples to oranges.
(*added after initial post) When you go to a movie, you know beforehand how long the movie is that you paid for, or, at the very least, you expect to see the full movie, and not have it end early. Or, when you go to a restaurant, you order off of a menu. You expect to get the full meal, and not have the chef or server only give you 50 to 75% of the meal... or 3/4 through your meal have the server or manager say, "you must leave now," whether you are finished or not.
You pay the mama house fee for one hour (that has always been the case) and you pay the girl for the service. The tip is understood to be within the range you specified. However, there are some variables--It has always been the case that if you the customer pops early, then it is up to the girl to offer you an extra pop for free or for an extra fee. However, one thing is "not" a variable, and that is the time in the room. Is it to be one full hour, no if, ands or buts. If you come early, then the girl at the very least can fill the time with a massage.
That is my understanding that was explained to me by the mamas when I first started mongering. The time is the room is one hour. Everything else is between you and the girl.
If the girl lives up to her end of the bargain by providing the service, then the tip follows the scale 50/10/150 for HJ/BJ/FS respectively with either two pops or massage service to fill out the hour. But, if the mama and or the girl usher you out early against your wishes, then you can either request part of the house fee back and adjust your tip, or if mama won't budge, adjust your tip. It is the only option we have left.
I'm sorry, but there is a standard of service and time that we "all" know is the norm. If the establishment doesn't live up to this, the system breaks down.
Just my thoughts on the subject. No disrespect. Anyone else's thoughts on this?[/QUOTE]
Quality, not Quantity, IMHO
I totally agree with other brothers here who say it's important, and pono, we get the full hour we've paid for. However, that being said, for my money, I will be more pleased with a total horn-dog satisfying session that is so intense I am toast in 45 minutes and ready to walk out the door, verses a full hour that is just average whatevers. And I walk my talk on this one. My point being, quality of experience. Not a certain set number of minutes in the room. Is my bottom line every time.
Chiming in on time in room.
Too many relevant posts below to quote on this subject, so won't quote any. But I do agree with you mongers that want a full hour in the "rented room". However, most AMPs don't give a full 60 minutes, even though you paid for it. If you don't get it, then you can either complain to mama or short tip the girl. If they don't like that, they won't be letting you back in or the girl will refuse to see you, or she will demand payment upfront because she remembers that you short tipped her last time. You can take your business elsewhere, but there will be many mongers to take your place that WILL put up with the shorted time in the room with the provider, AS LONG AS the service was good. So I do agree most with the "quality over quantity" statement that someone else stated.
My theory personally is to just be cool with mama and the girl. If they short me slightly on time but the service made me smile, I'll overlook it, and still give the girl a full tip. If you continue to be cool and the provider actually starts to enjoy the business relationship the two of you have, your room time will get longer, and service will get better and better. However, if they short me on time AND the service was kinda shitty, I will short tip the girl (not by that much, I'm not a dick) knowing full well she will not want to see me again. And I don't give a fuck because I know full well I don't want to see her again either.
Sure a lot of other variables come into play here. For example if you walk in super drunk or high on weed or coke, and start acting rude or bossy, naturally the provider will hate being with you, and you will surely be shorted, both on time and service. That's on you. Anyway you guys get the picture I'm trying to paint.
In the end, as long as the girl provides pretty good service, I don't mind if my time is cut short (within reason).
