Both CMJ and Club ALpha, require memberships, (can't remember what the membership fees are off the top of my head), but with CMJ you can come in as a Guest of any MA at any time without being a member, or with Club Alpha, you can schedule your first visit without being a member, then you go to the spa, and they will have you sit in a room and a bevy or beauties will come in and say hi, and then you choose who you want to spend your time with, (depending of course on how busy they are). Both of these spa's are all one price usually paid to the MA at the end of the session. The room fee and MA fee are included in the overall price. I hope this helps.
I've never paid a separate door fee at CMJ West, it's always been the full amount to the MA. That's one of the reasons I prefer CMJ and Alpha, no door fee/in-room fee separation. I hope they haven't changed that.
The term in-room fee is just a recent term, it was never used before until the club model came into play. Before that it was door fee + tip.
At CMJ West the receptionist collects one fee which is basically the door + in-room fees.
totally agree//// she is amazing//i think she is younger than middle aged....she looks great...
No tipping is based on slave labor (the railroad days) or today a silly system to compensate for minimum wage jobs, certainly not professional service like companions here provide at $200+/hour. I have never tipped companions in cash, my tip is an honest review and repeat business. In much of Asia it is an insult to tip, or in for example Germany you just round up to the nearest dollar so doesn't deal with coins. We no longer have slave labor and tipping is just a silly nuisance - unfair to both parties. Just set a fee and forget the tipping nuisance.
Bad take…. Super bad take actually. A tip for someone’s service (regardless of the industry and type of service) is a sign of appreciation for said services, a sign that the person went out of their way to ensure you had a good time and that you did in fact enjoy it. At a restaurant a waitress doesn’t have to smile and laugh at your jokes, or ask how your day has been, nor do they have to ask if you’ve enjoyed your meal, keep checking on you to see if you need anything, or offer to do anything to make your experience better, they do that to make you happy and for a tip. Service providers are the same way. We don’t have to be nice when providing our services, but if we want repeat clients or to get more than the cost of the services (because in some spas girls don’t get to choose their prices, and have to pay room fees, cleaning fees, etc, meaning we have to pay out of our own pocket to give you a good time) so yes a tip is always appreciated and will almost guarantee that you always have great service. In North America, not tipping, regardless of what industry/service you’re paying for, just makes you cheap.
I've heard that thing of tipping being an insulte in India... but we are in North America. So I'll be acting like a North American in Canada.
I agree that this is a really poor way to put it but tipping is a weird cultural animal. I would disagree that tipping is a thing regardless of the industry. Most professional services require all of the elements that ensure the client has a good experience, but tipping would be considered unusual and make the situation awkward and in some cases be considered unethical(financial services). Even though they laugh at my jokes, ask how my day has been, and check to see if I need anything, I would never think of tipping my doctor, dentist, lawyer or financial manager. I have also never tipped a plumber, electrician or mechanic. Waiter, barber, cab driver, yes. It is very odd where we culturally draw the line at who gets tipped and who doesn't but it is generally geared toward the percieved compensation of the service provider. It seems that in general, higher paying service jobs don't get tipped while lower paying do. The one big exception is retail. I don't think tipping the sales people at clothing stores is a thing, even though they are low paid.
