The Fall of the Great Happy Dragon

[Bubbaloo]

I used to love this place. Last 2 visits I believe I was attended to by Cyborgs. Not to mention a price increase to $80/hour. Is that an increase? I can't remember. Anyhow, I'll be looking for places where the practitioners better enjoy their work, rather than seeming as though they've blame you that they're not out having fun on a Friday night. Bummer. Mermaid seems to fit that bill.

I haven't been in last few weeks as my regular not working there but i spoke to owner a few weeks ago to learn that the happy dragon shops (5 all up on coast ) have all been sold as a business.
I was wondering if this would effect their future as the previous owner had built these shops up to be as good all round as they where and the girls used to speak highly of the owner and how they where treated by them.
So will be interesting to see what the future holds,quality of girls their attitude ect it will be a disaster if this stall wart of the punting scene goes down hill to sit along with the rest of the rank and file.

Indeed, I've stopped going to HD's, used to go to the one near the Broadwater.

Now I'm usually going to 23 Nind or their sister shop at Labrador (love that discrete, rear entrance) with no complaints so far.

[tikogoh]

The 2 times that I've been there have not been the standard I was looking for. Now I know why

[flamejob]

Word I heard was that the new owner is Chinese and only interested in squeezing as much money out of the place as possible, whether it be in increased fees, screwing the girls down or cutting back on laundry expenses ...

[mman69]

Makes sense Flamejob then that quality will go down ,been going to HD chev since it opened when it was the owners only shop ,i think the fact that the owner paid the girls well and according to many of them over the years treated them good reflected in the level of service they offered to customers generally.

Treat your employees well and they will take care of your customers - Richard Branson, self made billionaire.

That depends on the culture you are dealing with. Western thinking won't always work with Eastern employees.

[gpeck80]

I highly doubt that.

[RottenLittlePunt]

I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand

[gpeck80]

Someone made the point earlier on this subject on this board, that when the new owners came on board, the quality of service went down due to how the employees were treated. Guess what culture the employees are from? I've been an employer most of my life. I know what I'm talking about. Repeat Custom doesn't happen after poor service. Poor service is given from disgruntled employees, or simply from employees that aren't praised from time to time. It's you that doesn't understand. Predictably, you'll make this point - Asians are all about money, so they'll give good service if they're paid enough. Yet that comes under the category of - TREATING YOUR EMPLOYEES WELL.

[RottenLittlePunt]

"I've been an employer most of my life." LOL

The only thing that was predictable was that you had no clue what I was talking about. You're all piss and wind little boy.

Go back to posting another 850 nonsensical posts and leaching off society as you prefer it.

[gpeck80]

Since you were UNABLE to explain how I was wrong and instead resorted to childish insults (as per usual), we can all conclude you have no actual real world experience on this issue. Have a nice day! :smile:

[RottenLittlePunt]

855 posts and still not a single useful contribution to the forum.

Or can someone correct me and stand up for Gpeck as anything but a leach on here?

[gpeck80]

Let's talk now about the irony of you posting during work hours and me now posting around the time most employees are out the door and the boss is still back finishing up for the day. :cool2:

If it helps you feel any less insecure, the most number of employees I've managed is only ten people.

[Bubbaloo]

Awww! The first punter fight on one of my posts 😀 I shall remember this day!

[Bubbaloo]

But seriously...

Treating your employees well and the benefits associated with that treatment transcends culture. I've been lucky enough to have experienced it in more than this one.

[gpeck80]

My sentiments exactly.

[RottenLittlePunt]

Let's talk now about the irony of you posting during work hours and me now posting around the time most employees are out the door and the boss is still back finishing up for the day.

As I said, nonsensical. That is the most moronic attempt at logic I have heard in a long time. A dole bludger can post the same hours as you, so your idea of posting time proof only proves my point. You're all piss and wind and either very stupid or fairly young as you don't see the errors you make in your thinking. But you are supposedly an employer that I am jealous of? ..... LOL

[gpeck80]

Only a loser like you would get their nose out of joint about someone being an employer or employment in general.
Anyone with a modicum of success, wouldn't give it a moments notice, but you are dripping with jealousy and your
posts scream "projection"!

"That depends on the culture you are dealing with. Western thinking won't always work with Eastern employees."

Since you're an expert on leadership and people management, can you bestow upon us plebs an explanation for your post?
Us lowly leaches want to bask in your sage-like wisdom.

P.S. How many non Westerners do you think Richard Branson employs in his vast international empire? A couple? Thousands?

This is where you ante up as a man and admit you may be wrong. Or you can continue to be a stubborn child. Your call.

Yet another moronic attempt at logic. Where do you get this stuff? My previous posts have merely pointed out the stupidity of your own words, not sure how you took that as me having my nose out of joint. If anything, your baseless tirade shows more disjointedness than mine.



This is where you ante up as a man and admit you may be wrong. Or you can continue to be a stubborn child. Your call.

Actually no this is where I ante up and demonstrate you to be a buffoon once again. I intentionally worded my original post so that it was open to all possibilities.

"Western thinking won't always work "

It wasn't a definitive statement one way or the other, but you unfortunately misread it as you are a bit of a simpleton.

I know a couple of owners and they regularly talk about how difficult it is to find new girls and keep the ones they have. Running a massage shop where you only have a handful of staff each day and numerous competitors around you is very different to running a multinational where you can just weed out the bad employees and easily replace them. Branson's theory works fine as a general rule, especially if you have the luxury of choosing your staff, but the reality is that massage shops are a different animal.

I also know a lot of MLs and they talk about how the girls interact with each other and with the owners. They often talk about generalisations based on country of origin. It isn't just a coincidence that different shops have staff predominantly from a single nationality, the owner usually tries to choose staff that they can easiest manage.

Then you have the issue of customers. It doesn't matter how well you treat your staff if an ML is tired of having fat smelly pervs trying to feel her up every second of the day.

Yes how you treat your staff will influence them, but it won't guarantee good customer service.


Now can both of you go back to posting on topic or STFU?

Well said ecchi

[gpeck80]

RLP, mate, you haven't added anything intelligent to this aside from your usual angry lil boy insults.

Ecchi, stop sucking his dick.

I used to frequent the HD, had some great times went there about 2 weeks ago and it was a very cold experience The girl was Vietnamese tall but as one of the brothers said cyborg. Have been using 166 Scarborough a bit, I got on we'll with the manager she told me it's hard to got good girls. She also told me about the guy's who get wrinkles taken out of it and when it's time to pay tell the girls they are going to call the police. It's $20 gee there's some ordinary humans out there. Now is there a establishment that is going to replace the HD. If any of the brothers have a good gig going on the Gold Coast pm please. Happy Punting
