QUESTION:
IN 2024, WHO HAS THE MOST SAY IN THE MARKET PRICES FOR PUNTING IN MASSAGE SHOPS AND BROTHELS ?

THE SHOP MANAGERS
OR
THE PUNTING PUBLIC?

For example
A brothel has charged you $350 for Diamond Service and you are told the WL may CIM
The WL is nice but in the room, asks you for an extra $50 cash for CIM

Do you accept this, or do you complain that the extra costs are getting out of hand, with no change in a discretionary service?

Or more cleverly, do you check with the manager before you walk in every door of every punt, so you can be clear if this shop truly has your back, or just your wallet ?

This is discretionary income
Unlike getting a haircut or paying tolls, you don't need this service to survive. They definitely need your patronage
Just now I got a text on my burner phone from a nice but quiet shop. They need your business

If other recreational venues increase beer prices or entry fees any further, if cinemas double ticket prices, if clothes shops raise prices by just $20 per item, their staff will be lining up at Centrelink within 2 years
