Has anyone done the math?
This is sort of a philosophical question so if you are looking for info you may want to skip this. A while back I had a massive urge for Chinese restaurant. But as we all know there are no good Chinese restaurants to be had here in Richmond. All of their menus don't have a happy ending and in some places it's buffet Style (self-serve). I never considered myself a nerd but I found myself calculating the benefits of going to find a Non-Chinese restaurant with a happy ending here in Richmond verses drive up to Fredericksburg for traditional Chinese. Here is the conclusion I came to:
Assume that if you go to Fredericksburg at best you will get.
- A waitress that is over 40 years old and will most likely be out of shape.
- Will have her uniform on the entire time.
- You pay the house 60 and leave a tip of 40.
- Probably not much touching or at best only OTC.
- You drive a total round trip of 120 miles and assume you get horrible gas milage of 20 MPH at 2.75/ gallon... Gas will cost about $18 round trip.
- You would have to spend 2 hours driving round trip to get back home to Richmond.
- total dinner bill would be about $120.
However, if you stay here in Richmond and go to a non-Chinese restaurant assume.
- Waitress will at least be topless.
- You can roam a lot more.
- Waitresses will be under 35 years old.
- and the Menus have a happy ending.
- Assume the waitresses there are cute and just your type.
So my big question... Is paying $135 for one hour at a non-Chinese restaurant too much? Just curious.
Chinese AMP in Mechanicsville
Well after a really promising first visit, a somewhat disappointing second visit my third visit was probably my last. I had VeVe (pronounce. Not a joke. Weewee). She's young and has at least 30 extra pounds, poor English skills, and she gives a very hard and vigorous massage. The first two visits ran 5-10 minutes over time. This visit was 5 minutes short. Not touching and no encouragement to DIY (which I wasn't going to do). Very professional and distant. Seriously doubt that I'm going back. The massages are better than Mandy's but not by a lot. You'll get 2 times as much massage per $ spent but at least with Mandy you'll get a mechanical HE. At the authentic Chinese massage you'll just get a mechanical massage.
