Massage Parlor Reports (Formerly Pine)

I tried to stop at the place on greenbay south of grand but they had a wait so I went to sunset. Only one lady there. Press sure she was the mms. I asked if she was the only one there. She said another girl coming later. MMS was older but thin. I wanted to walk but I am a pu at at why and was crunched on time so I took one for the team. She begged me to stay. It ended up being a pretty good massage with standard finish. While she was massaging she popped probably the only 2 zits on my back. She didn't ask just did. There's a bonus for the hard to reach places LOL.

I never bring wallet into places. Just cash. I had an extra. 6 in back pocket for tip or whatever else came up. I never show masseuse how much I have so I dig in and pull two bills out to leave. 4 for tip. I leave and notice all the money in back pocket was gone. I must of dropped. 2 when getting the tip. All in all it was a decent time worth a total of 1. 0. The extra. 2 I dropped pisses me off so much. LOL now I feel like I over paid when I could of gone somewhere else and got more for 1. 2 I guess it just principal but I feel like I didn't get a deal. Any of you mongers drop money by accident while trying to be ninja?

It was a good legit massage and I tipped her $20. Five minutes after I left my phone rings and it's her. She's calling to tell me she found a 20 on the carpet below where I had laid my clothes and that I could come back and get it. I told her to just keep till next appt which she returned to me right up front. I was blown away. Because of that one honest gesture I became a regular.

[QUOTE=BigWillie1111;3109285] Any of you mongers drop money by accident while trying to be ninja?[/QUOTE]Are you sure it dropped out or did she steal it? I keep money in different pockets. The standard. 4 (2 x20) in one pocket and then I'll split another 40 into other pockets, usually 4 tens for flexibility. Never lost it though. But keeping it split up will prevent losing it all. I figure if they snoop they'll take the first piece of cash they find and not look for any more.

Only one MT working, got interupted probably ten times by the telephone, and you guys banging on the door without an appointment. Because of how busy they were, she intentionally shorted me 20 minutes (not counting multiple trips to the door and the phone) and apologized over and over. Highly annoying.
Girl was Linda, kinda cute in my estimation. Nice standard finish. Massage so-so. Tipped standard, but felt like leaving less due to the time shorting but couldn't bring myself to do it..
If you guys go there, suggest not doing an hour there, received roughly 30. Shorted my other visit too come to think of it.
And don't do a walk-in..call ahead.
Sucks for the poor monger inside when the MT leaves and is having an awkward 5 minute conversation with you at the door. This place would b much better if they would have 2-3 girls there. Experienced pretty much ruined and I also had that unpleasant experience of feeling like you overpaid, got a bad deal. Especially annoying because I wasted my last mongerbux on that experience.

Sounds like a sh! T show. Yes its great when these dopes insist on asking dumb ass questions to someone who is clearly busy and may not speak or understand English that well. When she says she is busy take your ass and go somewhere else or go sit in your car.

You know its a challenge. And "L"s place, it seems like people either don't come at all or they decide to all come at the same time when she is working. I'd prefer an appointment system and even made an appointment chart. Here's a question: Would you be willing to wait in a sauna while the prior massage is finished? We have a sauna but don't use it much. Happy to offer it free for customers who are waiting.

Your massage place is legit but if a place is not and its busy I go somewhere else or skip it all together. The issue I was bringing up is mongers standing there having a conversation when they know she is busy with another customer.

Once they have gone you never know if they will return.

Now where to go with Anna's no so UTR closed? There were some nice young gals with reliable service.

Yeah I don't see the appeal of a sauna either. The thing does not get used. Today we disassembled the thing, moved it to one of the big rooms and then put it back together. "L" and I were laughing our heads off at how crazy we were for moving this contraption. Maybe when the weather gets cold it will have some appeal.

Concerning the recent discussion about the ringing phone and the idiot who comes to the door to ask pointless questions and take up the MTs time. This comes back to what I was reporting (or just complaining) about last year. Not only do the AMPs no longer keep a MMS, they sometimes only have one girl working! Yes, I understand cost accounting and not keeping a large staff on hand that aren't bringing in money. But one girl? Not only do I find it dangerous, but as recently reported it makes the experience frustrating for the customer.

I would hate to make a blanket statement, but MMS more common in Korean vs Chinese. Sometimes I work the desk to help "L". But I am considered to be a customer "repellant". So I stay in back as much as possible. LOL.

This is stupidity by the owner. If its a busy spa they need a traffic control person so my girl does not have to stop what she is doing to answer the door.

[QUOTE=SmileySam;3111861]Now where to go with Anna's no so UTR closed? There were some nice young gals with reliable service.[/QUOTE]Going through "post Anna's UTR can't relieve stress" syndrome. Her places always had the best combination of massage skills and extras with great attitudes. Never suspected any foul play, in fact my only complaint was the turnover. Many of the girls would tell me their stories and none included being held against their will. My fav was the irish mongolian. She was smart, independent and very cool to talk to.

That aside, what now? Per discussions here, thought Heaven was best thing going, however have had same challenges with shorting time, long interruptions, and someone else taking my "appointment".

Sunset is ehhh, China on GB still needs dental work, Lilly's is painful, and place just north of 132 on 83 (Green?) provides intermittent HE.

Anna's was best combination of services with never a regret. Now I'm left debating heading to wheeling / northbrook to find new goto place. Ugh. Anyone with answers please PM me and I'll share my new discoveries back.

One of my personal pet peeves by the way, is getting a massage in a cold (or even cold-ish) room. Am one of those people who's feet and hands get cold very quickly. Unless it's a heated table, I almost can't stand getting a massage in the winter (or fall, or early spring) even though I need them. Usually I stick to a couple of "legit" places with heated tables all winter, mixed in with a few uncomfortably cold happy massages elsewhere.

Hint Hint. Get a heated table if you don't already have one.
