If it’s a shit and cold build up and then you are asked foot fork 100 just to see a little bit of skin then I would decline
Well I don't go for the massage. I'll put what I think is a fair price under my phone with enough so the girl knows there is more than $50 waiting. I'll keep another $50 in my clothes pocket.

If they bring back the shop change then that also sits on the side table. So they will see my phone, a peak of cash plus the $35 shop change.

When they make the $150 BBBJ offer then I can counter with the $135 is all I have.

If I'm not happy with the deal I just take the money off the deal. I don't worry about being able to control a situation.

What I'm saying is that it works for me.
