[QUOTE=Horsetrader;6110336]My last visit to Glen Burnie Acupressure was more than a year ago, I gave the agreed big tip up front and then got crappy services. I blame myself and doubt that I'll ever return.
In general, I don't like tipping before and I haven't done it since my last GBA visit. Once she has your money, she has no reason to give good service. If you are walking into an unfamiliar place and it turns out to be a sting (very unusual), you've just provided evidence of intent. At RL nobody even asks me for a tip, I provide at end (but I'm well known). Some places have therapists who will tease extras and then say "You give good tip?" and I agree. Some places push for tip up front and I say "I tip at end." If they really push for tip up front, I'll say "just the massage" after which they will do one of two things: (a) continue massage with or without extras or (b) say "all finished" and I leave about $10 tip. I don't even like to agree in advance to a tip amount.
A few places have high house fee such as "$200 for 45 minutes, no tip", but I don't know any of those in Maryland. There are some well reviewed place out of state where I do give the tip up front, but haven't been to those in more than a year.[/QUOTE]GBA has an insane amount of turnover. So my guess is that you did it with someone new or someone not well reviewed on here. It's better to find out which girl to go to first before doing that. I've heard decent reviews on Coco and Cici so that move might work out for the better.
Still waiting in Cookie to return.

That is one of the things I like about RL. It lets me adjust the tip base on the effort the lady put into the session and which menu items I enjoyed. I believe RL ladies have taken very good care of me, because they know their extra effort is rewarded. Unfortunately, I have not found that to be real common in most AMPs around the country.
I have been to a number of AMPs over the years. Like you said if they are well reviewed and have occasional issues with LE, I have found an up front tip can pay dividends. You are right, the lady can not provide the expected services when you tip up front, but I have found that less common at AMPs. Most AMPs know repeat visitors ensure a steady stream of cash. Unless the AMP is the only game in town, then the customer is likely not to visit again when a lady takes advantage of him. I always try to let the MMS know I had a bad session even if it is my first visit. Many times they have returned part of the house fee or more likely offer a discount on the house fee next visit.
That is why I do not visit Greenbelt AMPs anymore. I had an appointment for a hour and paid for the hour. The MMS said something to my lady in their native language while she was walking me back to the room after the TS. When in the room, she suggested fun first and then massage. She rushed the fun. She stepped out to clean up after she cleaned me up and I laid down for the massage. She came back in and put $20 on the table and said you only get 30 minutes. Next appointment come in early. I got dressed. I complained to the MMS, because she escorted me to the door. She actually told me that too bad, next appointment arrive early. I could have understood if I just showed up, but I had an appointment.
I visited another AMP in Greenbelt after that happened. I asked for a hour session, but I did not have an appointment that time. The MMS said we not busy, so hour okay. I again paid for an hour. The lady rushed the TS, rushed the massage and finally rushed the fun. I mentioned I paid for a hour. She insisted I got the full 60 minutes. I guess my watch stopped for 25 minutes, because I was out the door in 35 minutes. All they had to do in either case was say you can only have 30 minutes and that would have been fine. At least the first place returned the $20 for the shorted session. I was so pissed after the two bad sessions in a row that I have never and will never go to another Greenbelt AMP.

7 day
7 day tended to be a great spot for a massage from a younger lady and DIY at the end, but my last two visited have seen a push for up charges. Repeatedly asking if I wanted 4 hands, extra essential oils, and then adding more time. My first visit, DIY was openly encouraged. Now I there's a pushback against it without adding extra time with the suggestion of more to come if I add it. Similar to reports I've read from Hanover / York DIY places.
I'll try again and see if it's truly a new pattern. Someone left a review on RM saying there's a girl in her 30's with DD's and a nice ass, so I'll see if I can draw her.

I was there a month ago with an older provider (Sara I think) and she was ok with DIY and didn't mention about adding time.
Curious about suggesting more to come, might have to add on some time.

ZenDen Copy
[QUOTE=DCHung;6103764]It is a rebranding of zenden.[/QUOTE]Hey Mongers, I've been lurking for a month here learning the hobby.
I had a nice dream about Grace from zenden last Saturday. She's top shelf for me and highly reviewed on TER. We got to talking about the new startup and the business model being copied.
The exhalevip is a new startup that broke away from zenden. One of the former ZD providers is now working under a new name at EVIP. At least that's how I heard it.

HowardtheDick.[/QUOTE]This is true, went by the name Tosha at the Zen now Natalie at exhale. Both names have reviews on TER. Website is the same actually, I haven't pulled the trigger because of money. She quoted me $300 for 30.

Anyone been able to get anything more than a massage and happy ending from these two?
Great location and service but pricey.

[QUOTE=GuideFan34;6112322]Yea, similar experience to MDFL. Sara kept saying "more time next time".[/QUOTE]Similar experience since changeover. Big push with upsells for essential oil, more time and 4 hands. DIY usually encouraged. I believe Lili is the name of the younger one. She does not have DDs- more like A's- and I have not seen any form fitting pants but she actually gives an outstanding hard massage.

Le
Along with the report of heavy LE presence on the 2 motels on Joppa, I would stay away from the AMP on Loch Raven for a while. Don't get caught up in collateral damage. You don't get anything more than a standard HE anyway & that also depends on your provider. So, it's a hit & miss kinda thing.

AMP Parkville
A wise old monger once told me to look at the hours of AMPs. Ones that are open later, cash only usually offer extra. Anyone been to Asian Massage in Hartford Rd in Parkville. Thinking about visiting Baltimore again soon.
