Cheers bro.
Lots of turnover , the shop has an interesting policy of hiring/retaining girls. Hope it works. But is that like the third Aki in just one year? It can be confusing. I wonder why they dun just come up with a different name. Surely just borrowing a book of names will give them huge number of options or if they just want Japanese names , there should be a lot of alternatives too.
Giving the shop the benefit of the doubt here. They probably do the same thing as most shops that take bookings. They don't take down who booked a slot, they only put "girl XXX booked" at a certain time. I doubt they even take down how long is the booking because they always ask me "how long for?" when I get there.
How are they going to know who booked which girl at what time, and be able to contact them when something comes up?
Most shops do this, in fairness to CBD Style. Have you ever been asked to confirm who you are when you arrive at any shop for your booking, excluding shops that know you well?
It's also because of this I've always felt that it would be easy to steal bookings.
Haha very interesting observations
We have discussed this before - the casual way bookings are taken in some places
I can't help but compare it to the busy hairdressing salons my ex-gf went to
GFM, if the hairdressers were that casual with bookinhs, there would be plenty of issues with women clients, you can imagine
If the chosen hairdresser was sick, and the salon manager didn't ring the client, and the salon deliberately waited until that client drove all the way to the salon before telling her?
There would be a major problem, and a discount and massive apology would be expected
My ex-gf paid $100-120 for a style
Men are paying upwards of $150-250+ and for some illogical reason, men just suck it up. Stupid punters
Hair salons are a bit different though. People don't usually book a particular hairdresser at a salon out of the blue without having been an existing customer. That means you are likely known to the salon.
So it's less likely for problems like that to happen there.
Anyway, back on the topic of shop bookings. You can imagine how difficult it would be to track who booked a girl. You can book a girl through WeChat, SMS, call in, walk in, etc. How is a single receptionist going to handle it all?
Not to mention, some punters don't even want to be identifiable.
It's not an easy problem to fix, this one.
So you're dropping your wife or gf off and going for a rnt that afternoon when the phone rings sorry xxxx Aki cant come in today would you like to fuck Nami instead.
Half the time the girls don't tell the owners their not coming as well.
Shops usually use a note book or a whiteboard. Includes each ladies name, and the hours of the day (10,11,12,1 etc)
It doesn't matter the mode of booking, the shop just needs the fake name of the punter and the time requested
If you are driving over an hour, or paying more than $200 for a punt, you should book and then ring to confirm as you are start off your driving. Unless you don't mind a bait and switch as you walk in the door
Then what? Call them up? Message them back? On what app, SMS or WeChat?
The mode of booking is important because the receptionist needs to look in different sources to get the method to contact the customer back.
SMS is the best because they can use the search function that will parse every chat history on the phone. Eg. They can search for "Aki" and get a timestamped list of SMS convos with that word in it.
No such luck with WeChat. There is no search function that can go through all chats. There's only a function to search within a chat once you're in it. So they'd have to go into each chat with a separate john and eyeball it to see if that was the guy who booked Aki (for example). That is going to be mindnumbingly hard to do for a "hotline" type account like theirs.
Then you have the call ins... They can write down the phone number that shows up on caller ID, but I doubt they will go that extra mile. Besides, would you be happy if your mob number was on a whiteboard behind the counter of a brothel, available for anyone to see?
so why i love this place:
#1 the girls, they are fresh hotties that you wont get at normal brothels, and they have great attitude not bitchiness where you would find in R&T places.
#2 real photos used most of the time - not fake ones or touched up like ginza
#3 the price is pretty good for what you get for 1 hour $200 which usually for me anyways, ends up in FS and i dont even have to pay extra i find with regulars they just like my coming back.
#4 central location
#5 discreet locations
# new girls all the time
# receptionists arnt cunts and a few of the managent there are really nice
Thing definitely have room to improve and im sure they will in the next few weeks but their onto a good formula ill say
I agree with @GolfishMan. It happened a few times to me in CBD - the response was "well I said I'm sorry 😐" that response drove me crazy and it wasn't good enough. To be fair they once gave me $50 off my next booking as an apology. However that was after I caused a scene.
