What time of day (or night) were you there?
[QUOTE=Piratical]If there were clients inside, they must have walked to the establishment because there was not one car in the parking area. As for the cigarette smell, all I know is that while knocking I smelled pungent stale cigarette smoke from a draft by the door. Perhaps they have a waiting area inside where clients/staff are permitted to smoke?
That would make sense, thanks. The young lady who answered the phone sounded like I woke her up. Although if they're closed I don't know why they'd keep the sign illuminated.[/QUOTE]
How does that match up with their posted hours?
You are correct Piratical!
We drive past both V.I.P. and Platinum Sensations on the way to Tropical Oasis. I've noticed that P.S.'s hours vary. I believe that they are short on help right now and open when they can. Through very reliable sources you were correct Piratical, V.I.P. is not "D.D. and Smoke" Free.

Wow that is incredible service - round the clock
[QUOTE=Piratical]Both businesses advertise as 24/7.[/QUOTE]
Better than the 7 Eleven. I wonder if they are open on New Year's Eve.

Cindy,
At the risk of being so bold, and since I like both you and Tammy (a/k/a Iculooking), and I gather there has been some falling out between Tammy and you for whatever reason(s).
Might I suggest
(1) None of us guys really wants to get into whatever happened here (Trust us - it's a guy thing - we like pussy, we don't like drama. There is no logic to it. I can't explain it any more or any better - just accept it for what it is).
(2) None of us really wants to hear the "reliable sources say" thing about another competitor. (Trust us, we go a lot of places, we can post our own reviews and we are capable of coming to our own conclusions. I know we are guys and sometimes we are a little slow on the uptake, But cut us a little slack. We will eventually figure out what is truly going on. Eventually, enough hobbyists will post reviews of VIP that the rest of us can judge for ourselves whether it is generally a good place, a bad place or a YMMV place).
(3) None of us really wants to be in the middle of a pissing contest even if you are 100% right and the other person(s) are 100% wrong. (Trust us - we really DON"T CARE about who is right or who is wrong. We just look at some hot pussy and go "gaga" over it. We become "hypnotized" and ignore all the other "facts". Hey, we are stupid guys. Right? We are not logical women. You may not like that. But accept that and move on.)
(4) All of us DO want you to continue to prove you are the place to be by providing friendly girls with good service at fair prices in a nice atmosphere.
(5) All of us RESPECT the providers who always take the HIGH ROAD and show they are the better choice by providing great service. (We do not like to hear women bitching about other things or taking jabs at the competition. If we want "bitchy", we can get that at home with wives and gf's. The main reason we come to you is because we want to escape that atmosphere).
I am not sure I speak for everyone here (others can weigh in as they wish), but I think I do speak for many of us. To paraphrase the words of our local sage, philosopher and Haynes Road Hugh Heffner, my buddy RConsultant, "when it comes to deciding who provides great service at a fair price, most hobbyists will vote with their coins"
Fair enough?
Respectfully,
Clinton Bush

CB:
Well stated! For those of us in business, we care about great service and value.The Nordstrom's Theory works the best, a pissed off customer will tell 10 people about how unhappy they are with your merchandise and service while a happy customer will tell only one. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.
Keeping drama and hassle out of the picture is essential to any business. Nobody cares and we can all get the BS at home.The hour of peace and quiet and PUSSY is all that matters!
I need to get back on the road,I have been home to long!
