Monger Pull-back Dividends
[QUOTE=DarkRoomDaddy;6377048]Yeah we have discussed this hyper-inflation before. The thing is that these girls are indeed unreasonable. Their costs have not gone up. And in China they would be making $3/ day not $1000/ day here. But they just decided to empty our pockets. And many of them get pissy if you give them the same as before. If we follow your suggestion, we need to share with each other on this list the places where they still honor reasonable prices. For example, Sunny Health on Magnolia and Westmin bottom level. The upped from 30 prepandemic to 40 post pandemic but the girls never once demand any specific tip amount. So we need to take our business to these kinds of places. But to make this effective, we have to inform the other places that we are boycotting them and taking our fistfulls of $20's over to other shops. If we merely disappear they will assume its just a seasonal down, or guys aren't horny anymore. But if you keep reminding them and the girls. Hey I would like to come twice a week but your prices have driven me away. Finally they may learn that there is a cause and affect to their price gouging.[/QUOTE]Whether by intentional withholding of monger-money (protest) or we're just low on monger-money (thank you continued high-inflation), the spas / parlors I used to frequently visit are now texting me nearly every day. Our pull-back has them feeling the pinch big time. As others have noted, some here don't seem to care about trying to mitigate further inflated rates for the same or lesser service. One place that contacted me was naming names as to whom I should return to visit as 'She misses you. ' Pure bullshit I realize but the question I'm asking myself, 'How much does she really miss my or your money?' I texted back (to summarize) 'how expensive all things have become, including visiting your shop. I won't be back for several months with these prices. ' And these are places I used to visit once or twice per week. Not being specific about anything but it got the texter thinking. He / She replied, "We can offer better prices. Come and see. " To which I replied, "Maybe in June. ".
