While I don't visit spas on a regular basis, I am amazed at the amount of traction this discussion has garnered. The discussion is pointless, if you don't want to pay $220 don't go irregardless of how the funds are distributed. If you want an amp that charges $200, you are in a country that allows you to start your own business, thus you can "influence" the market. Grow up and stop whining. Originally Posted by Equipeeler55

I meant that isn’t how it works at the places being discussed in Dallas. You don’t hand mamasan $60 and then negotiate in the room. Originally Posted by Joe BlowsI don't remember any of the Dallas ones doing that offhand, only a couple out in SF.

Either way, same play, show up with $200, give it to mamasan, if she says it's $220, I tell her I only have $200, if she wants to tell me to leave and come back with more, that's on her. Originally Posted by GastonGlock

And from the customer perspective ten visits now costs me 2200 versus 2k. I get one less visit. Fuck that! I want my eleventh visit but instead have paid out 2420 instead of 2200. I’ve now paid an extra 220 to some fucking schmuck for eleven visits! So for that reason I’m out! Way fucking out! Originally Posted by BigBamboo
