McHenry / Crystal Lake (McHenry County Area)

I don't think we can really know why the mongers bolted. It has not happened a lot but when I've had someone mention something along the lines I just change the subject so I don't pulled into the drama. Just my 2 cents.

[QUOTE=Frederickmil;3136623]I agree. I know many guys like the 20 something spinners but the two gals at this place although both in their 40's looked good. IMHO they did both the therapy and the happy part well. They never sent me to my wallet before the session was over. The owner did everything possible to stay under the radar and still was ordered to close yesterday by the landlord.

I don't personally know the owner but am friends with both Cindy and Lily (aka Anna). No direct police activity involved with this place closing. I will let you all know when I know more. I will most certainly know where the girls will go. PM me with who you saw and I will provide their new location once they have one.

One final comment for those who enjoy an uninterrupted session. Both girls working here on more than one occasion mentioned their mongers bolting out the door while they were retrieving a bottle of water for their guest after being provided with a smile. Neither gal ever mentioned a tip nor an amount anytime I saw them. For someone to bolt out the front door to save what they should leave for the girl is sad.[/QUOTE]

All of a sudden a young worker comes running up to me and in terrible broken English says something while showing me a credit card receipt. She was frantic. I didn't understand a word she was saying but could figure out from looking at the receipt that the customer had 'written in' the tip AFTER the tx had gone thru. Slick!! He was out the door before she realized what had just happened.

So she got stiffed twice. Once for $100.

I don't understand it either.

Just pointing out to folks here why some girls hold out their hand midstream. I found it hard to believe myself but I was her next guest so could see she was upset.

That monger got what he came for (literally). Well except for his bottle of water, LOL.

Escaped by car. LOL.

[QUOTE=DMichaels69;3138468]Escaped by car. LOL.[/QUOTE]I thought someone might laugh at the odd way Chinese Mandarin translates to English sometimes. The entire message read like this. "I give happy ending to guest. I go for water. Guest fled scene and escaped by car. He no tip".

My friends who know about my hobby have been teasing me ever since.

Many times L (Mei) collects the entire fee (house and tip) after the massage. Of course many customers have their money ready when they come in the door. But she never, ever asks for TIP money, even after the massage.

But to your point, we had a learning curve on the credit card machine. You can pass it along.

It really works the same as at a restaurant. You can write in the tip amount after the card is run through the machine. In a restaurant (and most businesses, I guess) the transactions are "posted" at the end of the day. The machine has a "tip-adjust" function which allows you to go back to each transaction and add in the tip amount. However, we also learned that it is normally "locked" at some maximum percentage amount. In our case 100%. So our $50 massage could not get a $100 tip. Of course for us that is a moot, irrelevant point. I talked to our credit card company and they explained to me, the tip needs to be processed same day. If it is processed next day, or if there are any other exception scenarios, you have to call them and they normally would verify with the customer. Since our customers are largely repeat customers, (that's our business strategy) it's not a huge problem. Bob.

[QUOTE=DoctorWelby;3141700]World on Algonquin.[/QUOTE]That would be great, except for the fact that's it's all Korean. Last time I was there she wanted me to get off the table to early tip. No thank you.

Has anyone had a chance to check out the new spa, off of RT12, in Wauconda? I was going to try and make a visit over the weekend, but couldn't make the time. Thanks. B42.
