That said.. I do have a penchant to keeping a great regular, or a few, and try to keep them happy. I know I'm going to get a great service, and exactly what I'm in the mood for, (now Ive one that is just an absolute pleasure to see, and is a machine, another whos tons of fun , and one that weighs under 40kg and has a natural talent and determination to make sure she's completely crippled me - never fails either) and we know what works really well for each others, no messing around with explaining what happens next, and I know they arent going to fuck around and waste time doing inane shit like mouthwash, or do their hair or get changed every 7 minutes, - that pisses me off the most, not just the time, but loss of momentum and starting all over again (ergh). I spend time with them all outside of the punt, - (individually,) but its clear from the start theres no intention to score a freebie, its their job and they work hard to make a buck. (doesnt mean it doesnt happen though) It keeps the line in the right place.. Occasionally I'll see other girls at the shops theyre at, often recommended by them, but keep them at an hour, and cant remember last time I did a repeat booking.
Theyre smart enough to know that variety will keep away the inevitable boredom, and that it keeps the shop making instead of risking a diamond is discovered a few doors down.
I do understand the frustration element that some girls have, (covid has really made it hard for them) they spend time and effort responding to messages, making sure they know you like an extra pillow, or whatever they put on for you, - its a business... my gardener doesnt like when jims does my lawn, but knows he'l be back, especially if he tries harder next time, and doesnt get too comfortable... I get an ace up my sleeve, and somewhere to go if he's not available.. - but again, Just like the punt, .. i pay to make my life easier, - as soon as its a pain in the ass, might as well just do it myself.
Maybe you like a little conflict, drama, and resolution, (got a mate that lives for it), but I CBF.
Personally, in this place. I would either / or combo these -
Tell her to pull her head in - youre a client...
Book someone else, make sure she sees
Book a someone else, get them to call her in for a double for 20 or 30 mins, and send her back and finish up with other one (even better if she does something you like the other doesnt do..
Go to another shop for however long your next few trips would be (ie once a week, - spend at least 2 away), and drop a random comment next time.. 'oh great that the hot waters working, its shit next door'
No need to use a sledgehammer and upset your thing, but you wouldnt take it from the gardener or the butcher, and punting is about the most stress negative fun you can have.. (with your pants off ) :laugh:
