MP Quality..
Hi Demi,
Thank you for responding to my post. I did not know that you were manager. I understand you only working with what you have at the spa. The owner needs to put in more $$$ into the business, especially if there are no showers in the rooms.

This is where the pricing structure comes in. If they ask for a nude reverse session for example, then the customer knows how much money they will have to pay the attendant. There should be an owner on site at all times who is there, in case there is trouble with a customer. If the ladies know what kind of massage they are performing, then the service would be there, and there should be no argument over money. You run into trouble when a client says he will pay a certain amount of $$, thinking he will receive certain things during a massage, and then after decides that it was not up to his expectations. If there is an agreement beforehand, then you probably wouldn't run into customers ripping you off.

I haven't tried massaging an elderly gentleman on a table, but I have massaged gorgeous women on a massage table!!! If I get a nude reverse massage, then part of the session is for me to massage the lady. Real massage tables are great. They are built for comfort, and they are high off the ground, so that the massager does not hurt his/her back trying to bend over. You also don't have to be on your knees, or sitting down on the mattress and turning sideways to massage. Massage tables are expensive, but in the long run, they add so much to the spa.
I don't think the pricing structure is too high at all. You could get a 30 min nude reverse for $100 total. This means, $40 at the door and $60 to the lady in the room. I've read posts where people in this area are paying $60 at the door, and then upwards of $80-$100 in the room for what they called a "glorified handjob". That is definitely way too high......add to that the condition of the MP (no showers etc) and when you compare it, the pricing is too high. If you lowered the prices and stuck to a price list for massages, quality would go up, price would go down, but the MP and the ladies would make more $$$. And that folks, is why MP's operate in the first place, NO?Demi said:And as for your mentioned pricing, I find that too high for what we can offer at Marilyns[/B]
Thanks for responding Demi......I always appreciate someone telling their side of the story. But to tell you the truth, it looks to me like this is an ownership problem. Too many owners won't pony up the dough to run a decent establishment. You even said yourself that you can only work with "what you have". These owners buy these places, put in the minimum amount of $$$, and they don't take care of their ladies....they treat them like crap, and take most of the money that comes in during a massage. The girls are left with hardly anything, yet they are the ones that have to do the massaging.......anyway, just some thoughts.
