I'd expect more for that level of tipping
[QUOTE=Noich;4186883]Greetings! I've been lurking for a bit but still haven't gotten the banter down, didn't want that to stop me from answering your question. Tl / dr. Was good for me.
My back's been killing me forever from an injury, and I'd been to a legit spa once but did not enjoy. Decided Ace as it's been there forever in some form or another and reasonably convenient. Got there on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm, parked out front, walked in, pushed the buzzer briefly and nervously smiled at the camera. Older woman in a blue smock answers and I ask for an hour sweedish. She kinda snarls seveny bucks and leads me back to a room, I hand her 80 and reflexively say change please then I'm left alone in the room. Seems clean, fresh, and warm. Maybe five minutes later someone not the old lady walks in and hands me change. She's attractive, maybe mid-30's early 40's but I suck at numbers. Attractive but not good english. We're both confused but I quickly learn that she's there for me as she stands me up and gives me a big hug. I hug her back and tells her it's my first time, where my injury is, and that I want a soft touch. She says first time here and I say first time ever, she looks puzzled then decided I should really be naked right now. Not worrying about modesty I drop everything and wrap up in the towel she hands me as she leads me down the hall into a shower. She took the towel, led me in, warmed the water, rinsed me down and washed me off thoroughly. Next a towel down and sauna for a bit, then she comes in and we're about to leave but then a scramble back behind the sauna door because someone else is moving around. Finally all clear and she leads me back to the room and does a great number on my back, I'm happy there. I do hear one other person come in but quickly ignore the racket. As she's working my back there are stray hand motions, I grunt a bit and she tells me to be quiet however she allows me to reciprocate which I think she enjoyed but who knows. She tells me to flip over and asks about the tip sincerely specifying nothing. I'd walked in with a thought of fifty tip anyway, which I offered. She play acted hurt and mumbled something that included hundred, I gave her my last twenty and said that's all I've got but I'll be back. She completed traditional while Sweet Emotion played on the radio and I almost got the giggles while she grabbed a hot towel. I get dressed and she leads me by the hand and out I go. I did return but that's another post. Peace.[/QUOTE]That was a pretty good first post. You shared useful intelligence with your fellow mongers rather than asking for info.
That having been said, you overtipped for the services rendered if I'm reading your report correctly. $70 for HJ only is too much. I'd expect a French lesson at that amount. We've got to keep the tips reasonable or else the hobby will become unaffordable for all but the richest mongers.
