Booked an Hour at 888, Lost 5 Minutes to Shower — Fair or Not?

[DucatiBoy]

Had a small thing happen today that got me thinking — just wanted to hear your thoughts on it.

I had a booking with Sugar today at 2:00 PM. I arrived a few minutes early and was brought into the room right on time. Paid, took a quick shower, then the service started.

I don’t usually check the time, but this time I happened to glance at my phone right before the service began — it was around 2:08. The session ended at exactly 3:00.

So even though I booked 60 minutes, I only got about 52–55 minutes of actual service after the shower.

Just wondering — is this normal?

Does shower time usually count as part of the session?

Or are there places where the clock starts after the shower?

Would be good to hear others’ experiences or how this is typically handled.

[Who Killed Tangerine]

Clock starts when shes ready for session as far as Im concerned.
If shes ready at 2pm and you are having a shower, thats too bad. 1 hour finishes at 3pm

If shes off having a shower, going to the toilet, grabbing a bite to eat, yapping with someone else and she doesnt come in to the room until 2:08 pm, thats when the hour starts. If she has a 3pm booking, too bad. I get an hour.

If you want to have a shower, do it in your own time or accept you are using her time.
You can ask her to wash you at 200pm

I always wondered about this as well, I think it shouldn't be counted. You doing them a favour, being freshly showered before booking. The time should start, when the massage starts.

[Kingpoo]

If I need a shower, i just arrive early. If they start the timer on when the massage starts, it will affect their next booking and they try to be on time.
The most lenient and generous with time I have experienced is with Krystal from TT Nundah. Went over time and no rush at all.

Where does this end?
You booked at eg 2.
I have to take a dump. Have my lunch before we start session. Better go back home and feed the cat first too.
Start time is 2 and the ml is ready, thats when the time starts. If you are brushing your teeth, learning a foreign language, polishing your shoes…..too bad.

Now if the lady isnt ready and you are, thats a different story.
You book at a certain time and shes ready, then the clock has begun.

Want to shower, get there early.

[iamking]

You should have a shower pre appointment. If you book at 2pm, then either take one at home or arrive early, take a shower and see the ML at 2pm exactly. Don't pay before the shower. If the ML showers at 2pm then either start the session when she enters the room at 2.08pm for 60 minutes, but be very clear about it, or change it to 45 minutes, again be clear about it. Different shops and girls have rules. Most of the time the ML will be flexible and apologetic from my experience, as long as you're not being rude or aggressive about it. Some owners don't give the girls enough time between customers, and I definitely want my ML to be clean for my session. Communication is the key.

[thunder545454]

If you want to shower prior that should included in your 1 hour of time.

That said on subject of time these girls are too greedy, they book guys up back to back to back without breaks, then they try to steal time to make up for it.

We have all had a girl go to get change or whatever and disappear for 5minutes ive had them wander off, then come back with no change and I ask where is my change oh right wanders back off, like what was she doing for 5 minutes then? probably eating or on her phone.

Me I don't care too much about time seems like focusing on the wrong thing, I more care about the service, if they do a great job sucking the soul out of me, I am happy to fuck off 5 or 10mins early, I don't want to hug them or get a head massage, once I nut I want to quickly move onto doing other shit with my day.

[harry444]

The shower can be viewed as part of the service provided, so is a part of the one hour service. I always shower before. Often asked I want a shower, but decline. However out of respect to girl, not a bad idea. Anyway, get over it, it's only 5 mind

[Bluetea]

Let’s be real—no one’s sweating a couple of minutes. It’s all about the service, the looks, and the vibe she gives off

[Chopper007]

If you make a booking at 2, the clock starts at 2, the girls may be a couple of minutes late, you may be a couple of minutes late. It's not hard to understand. Let me ask you this one, what about all the times customers are 10,15 or 20 minutes late? Should tge customer pay fir that time? The shops allocated that time slot to that customer, but now has only enough time for a 45mins booking instead of the hour booking that he made? The shop losses money now and the girl losses money because the punter couldn't be on time. What do you think should happen in that situation?

If I made a booking for a particular time, and I arrived late, I would find it more than fair that I had to pay for the time I booked while the actual massage/service time were reduced by the amount of time I was late.

And, if I made a booking and arrived on time, I would be VERY unhappy if I had to wait because the girl's last client was late and she still gave him the full time...

[JJBeck]

I notice this at a popular shop with popular girls, being late because previous session finish late and she shower in your time or is just plain late due to overrun of sessions

I just stop seeing her and the shop
Plenty of other places to go

[VFlowers]

Another pet hate of mine is when they take ages between taking you into the room and reappearing to actually start the massage.
The day it takes me more than 90 s to jump out of my clothes and onto the massage table is probably the day I need to retire from this hobby altogether.
I always make it a point to throw a very obvious glance at the clock on the wall when that happens...

[FredWard63]

I don't mind the lady showering, usually I'm drying off and getting dressed and during that time we chat, so all good. What I do mind is what VFlowers noted. Some carry it to an extreme and when then happens, I mention it.

[Scotty from Marketing]

If the lady greets you at 2 or earlier and has piss farted around and comes into the room at 7 minutes after the hour. As soon as she shuts the door, I tell her the time and say we will finish at 3:07 if we need to.
Often it finishes early anyway, but you have to stand your ground and make yourself clear.
Huffing and puffing in silence or after the event teaches no lessons

[Herpetology]

Next time shower with the girl

Just ask her to shower you

That is what we do

Guys

Please ask king Bris99 man who knows all shops Mr Smithchips?

Where is Mr Smithchips gone the King Pin he can answer all your questions


I miss his shit poo bag comments Herps

Any Idea what shops he goes to?

I need to catch up for a coffee

[Hermes At Home]

As long as the ML doesn’t keep you waiting too long after taking your money and telling you to get undressed, I reckon everything else is fine.

[Becareful]

Im starting to get annoyed at my regular at mirage108/platnium she is always behind by like 8 to 10mins and finishes early from 5 to 10mins. I get that she is late but why should I forfeight my time especially when im a regular and every time the people she has before me finishes on time. If she does it one more time I will probably stop seeing her because that just disrespectful.

[KushKat]

My view is that the shower time shouldn't be included; showering is doing everyone a favour

[Becareful]

Ignore this post thought it was sydney :)

There is a thread in the Brisbane 'general discussion' section about seeing MLs regularly.
Some guys there explain how some MLs start to take their regulars for granted, drop service quality, start cutting time and similar. Maybe have a look. Not seeing that regular of yours at least for a while might be a good idea under the circumstances you described.

[Asmodeus]

I always arrive 5 minutes before my booking to those shops that have a shower even though I'm clean and had a shower at home.
Let's the ML know I'm fresh.

Recently on a rare occasion that I didn't have a shower I was given the option up front cbj or of I shower bbbj.

I'd challenge for Olympic gold in the sprint I ran to the shower that fast.

Likewise I don't mind if the ML comes to the room a couple of minutes later if she was in the shower. Like them I prefer fresh so 5 minutes out of 60 is nothing. I'm considerate of my fellow punters so to save time at the end we shower together 😁

I believe you would flowers, but 98 out of 100 don't, they don't even offer to pay the time they booked, only the time the finally arrived at, and the store and the girls lose money every day because of this.

Pointing out another facet to the original post.

Went to my booking at the time I was supposed to. Because the fucker in front of me kept the ML back, extracting every minute of "his hour". So I started five minutes late (she had to shower in my time booked). I don't sweat such things though.

However, the guy coming after me turned up 8 minutes early. Kept ringing the bell. All the girls were busy so my ML (who he'd booked with) had to leave my booking to answer the friggin door.

From my discussions with various MLs, it's these fuckers - staying over time or coming in early or arriving late but still wanting their time - which are at fault.

Guys need to make sure they don't try and extend (or be late and still expect their hour) their bookings as it impacts on the next bookings.

Further, if you get there early, unless prearranged, stay the fuck in your car until it's closer to your time. It's so inconsiderate.

My ML was great and made up for this situation. But she ends up losing, all because such guys think they are the be all and end all.

You're absolutely right that if we pay for an hour, we rightly expect an hour and feel understandably annoyed if part of that time is eaten up for the reasons you mention. I've also had my booking held up as the ML was still in the car having a drawn-out goodbye with her bf. This can have a flow on affect for several bookings.

Coming up early —

You've nailed the general etiquette: don't come up early unless instructed, and when you do, be discreet — one ring, no loitering.

2–3 minutes before the scheduled time is reasonable. Any earlier can be intrusive.

Some girls do ask clients to come early
This can be to cut short an uncomfortable or unwanted booking.

I've recently had a ML ask me to come early so she could move on the client she was with as she claimed he was manipulative and expecting to pay much less than everyone else. She saw this as the only way to discourage him from booking her.

You are right. Some guys think they are the be all and end all and have unreasonable expectations of quality providers.

Bottom line:

This stuff happens because not all players (clients & workers) are considerate.
But if everyone operated on mutual respect, most of these issues wouldn’t exist.
