First post which has made me nod knowingly, smile, laugh and start to think all in one - love the wise words rooter
Wtf... Don't you guys know when someone is being deadpan? He's taking the piss,.... Joking, pulling your leg.
Depends how I feel, I'm a regular at a few places and I just say I might extend,they are cool with it. Poor punters after usually miss out as it normally gets extended out by 2-4 hours... sometimes all night.
Apologies in advance.
Sometimes you confirm with shop your booking time earlier in the day. And then double confirm cuz you plan it in advance. But they still call you at last min to tell you booking will be delayed without regard. I think that's poor form. Especially if you already set up schedule for the day and the delay ruined it.
Happy Festivus to all.............Serenity now!!!!
So I just had this happen to me again. I turn up 20 minutes early for a 2 hour booking and end up waiting almost 30 minutes past the agreed start time.
The reason this time was the booking before me came late so they had to push me back so I ended up just leaving at that point despite already waiting almost 50 minutes.
Got a message from the girl asking where I was so I told her I left and she should make the shop pay her for the lost money from the 2 hours.
Shop has apologised and offered a discount for next time. I told them they need to tell people that are late they can’t have their full time as there are already bookings
Yeah that happens.
At ginza you come to the desk say booking with x at y. They quickly take your money, ready soon please wait... and the soon become 10, then 15 ,20 mins wait... I'm not brave enough to complain or asking money back but they should be upfront not lying.
I don't know why the shop think it's okay to lie to customers in this kind of business
Long bookings might be your problem Daffy. A lot of girls avoid them because they can make more money in multiple short bookings than in a single long booking - And they get a break. Complaining hardly ever achieves much. Anything more than a resigned expression of disappointment is a waste of time.
I was once asked to wait for half an hour at a place in Amsterdam. "OK" says I, and promptly fell asleep in the chair. Later - much later, I was shaken awake, it was the Mamasan; "All the girls have gone home." Would you like a coffee?" That done, she had another thought, "My husbands not picking me up for another hour- how about we??" And we did, and it still ranks in my top 10 career punts.
The other end of the story is you book an hour arrive on time or a few minutes early and start ok but suddenly the girl wants to leave after half an hour because she’s got another customer coming or worse still has to go somewhere else for another booking. Paying for one hour and getting half an hour? It’s a bit of a deal killer.
