Here is my two cents on tipping structure. Most of the local ladies, especially the ones on Kennedy are looking for a 200 tip for FS. Well that pie in the sky as far as I’m concerned.
I use the following tip scale:
Young Hottie $140
Milf $120
Grandma $100
Money talks, or TT walks (down to the next AMP...hehe)
Tremont Teddy is correct on pay scales.
Different towns have different rates, and the girls will take advantage of you.
They will ask if you have ever been here before, or if you are traveling etc. etc. If they find out you are from out of town do not smile to big when they tell you the price of extra's. After they quote you the over inflated price just be polite and inform them that spa xxx down the road is only $ for the service. Watch how fast the price comes down then.
I was on a business trip to a city in North Ohio. Visitd a well known spa there and paid 8 Jacks for FS plus the 3 Jacks for house.
My next visit there I was having to wait so I struck up a conversation with mamasan and we discussed the prices. Seemed like mamasan has a set fee for her girls as she and the girls split everything 50/50, house fee tips etc. etc.
When mamasan found out that I was overcharged she let me have this session with no house fee and I got offered two girl for price of tips, so free hour on house and two girls for 5 jacks each. Just because I asked a question.
Moral of the story? It does not hurt to ask questions, and knowing what the going rate is helps also. Negociate with the girl, she knows what you are there for, and it is just a matter of deciding on the pay for the pleasure.
Remember supply and demand, you have the supply and you need to keep it as inexpensive as possible. Enjoy and be safe,WAV.
[QUOTE=Joego]So it was eighty to the house and another one forty to the girl.
Is forty OK if the girl is only giving you a helping hand?
Not knowing the right pay scale can screw things up for all of us. Pay too much and it drives up the price, pay too little and well I guess you get little.
I don't want to tip too high or low so information on the rate for just a Hand shake and the rate for full serve would help me.
Happy New Year.[/QUOTE]
I gotta say that is pretty damn funny. But hey always said i hope I can be cummin when I am goin'.
[QUOTE=Jaws Iii]Sunshine is my ATF - great combination of beauty, personality and ability. I agree, I rather doubt that she is returning. For her, I wish all the best. For the rest of us, our loss.
The question of where the Aloha is, it's in Clearwater, off of Ulmerton, near the St. Pete/Clearwater airport. In fact, some times it was disconcerting to hear a plane land so close over your head that you thought it might hit the building. I always felt that being found dead in an AMP because a plane hit it was not the way I wanted to be remembered. Might put a dark spot on my legacy.
I have no idea how it is lately...I haven't been back since she left. I would appreciate a heads up as to the talent currently available. Also, if mamasan Suji came back, that would be a good thing. She ran a relatively tight ship and put up with very little bs.[/QUOTE]
No olny one spa there but the beauty of the place is how it bkends if you don't find it you might mistake the warehouse attached to it as the place and as you sdaid it is almost always for lease.
[QUOTE=Tampa Monger]If you're referring to Aloha Spa off Ulmerton, they are definitely not closed nor are they closing any time soon. The place [i]next door[/i] to them is available for lease, I believe, but it isn't a spa.
I just talked to the mama-san on the phone, and she said they're having new girls come in January 3 and that Sunshine may return from Atlanta in February.
Of course, there could be a different "spa behind Burger King off Ulmerton," so we may not be talking about the same place.[/QUOTE]

Dude you sure do ask alot of questions. For a newbie.
[QUOTE=Joego]So it was eighty to the house and another one forty to the girl.
Think that is a higher rate then O-town but I guess you get full serve for that price and I don't know if O-town is full service ?
Is forty OK if the girl is only giving you a helping hand?

I am new to AMP's and will be in town today so I need to learn fast. Yokohama was my one and only. Did I tip too low or too high at forty for a hand out at yokohama ?
Thanks to all of you for the help.
I am on my way to Tampa so post what I need to know to not look like a fool in the new year.
Happy New Year.[/QUOTE]
I try to keep what I call the hooker principal in mind when ever I do business. Especially when it relates to, well this kinda of business.
The principal says "the value of goods greatly depreciates after services are rendered" so remeber just becaue your getting very little blood to your brain when you walk in doesn't mean you will happy when you leave especially if you don't try to work the price.
In recent yrs I have not paid more then. 10 for services sometimes I have had to really negotiate the deal when they try to down sell me and talk. 9 for BBBJ but you stay on it and say no this for this and hold your ground they are in sales and they understand that 80% of something is a whole lot better then 100% of nothing. Not like they are going to brag about getting low balled. But they will brag about getting a sucker.
I also find that when I leave they will try to upsell for next time by saying ok next time you pay $$$ dollars ok? I tell them nope you enjoyed it to. And they laugh and when you come back they are happy to see you.
Remember the entire culture they come from is based on barter and bargaining so they appreciate it when a client is good at it, as long as you are stern and not a jerk about it you can do very well. Remeber there are lots of AMPs and they want your business to. Good luck
Have been there 2 times in the past 2 months. Both times have been pleasurable.While not like the old,they are getting better.

I'd love to know what "getting better" means.
Well I went a few days ago and it was just OK.
I forget the girls name sorry.
Anyway there seemed to be a little up-selling going on, I might have payed too much for what I selected from the menu.
60 for 1/2HR and 80 for lip service followed by a handshake goodbye.
Like I said, it was just OK.
About the top heavy mamisan, She was there and she is a bit older.
Not my cup of tea, even if they were DD-cups of tea.
Looks like Osaka next.
What hours do they keep? I need to know so I don't waste a trip to Tampa.
I can't seem to find the phone number for them with an online phone book or google search.
If somone could post the hours that would help alot.
Most mamisans are well behaved because they are the target of LEO.
If she misbehaves it's a tight case. But you probably already know that.

They must be scraping the bottom of the AMP barrel because that place never had a bawdy reputation. In my single visit it was a rub and tug.
I would have to say, based on yesterday's visit, have not improved. Still same old "No F*****" here.
