    10 minutes later the same other girl came in again with what appeared to be their booking sheet and told me that a mistake had happened and that Serena had been double-booked.
    That 'booking sheet' had absolutely no recognisable structure or system and looked worse than a dog's breakfast.
    So I left.
    Some 30 min later, the 'manager' (What does he actually manage??? Clearly not his shops...) contacted me, apologising and telling me the usual pseudo-exculpatory BS, i.e the girl was 'new', couldn't speak enough English to tell 1 pm from 1:30 pm and more.
    I told him repeatedly that I wouldn't waste my time with his shop(s) anymore.
    Nevertheless he ended up offering me a free massage....and get this....NOT with the girl that I had booked and missed out on, but with that rocket scientist who couldn't copy a booking time from a mobile phone to a sheet of paper...and who, at least in my eyes, was rather unattractive (I believe it was Tara).
    So, Mr ZheYellow, if you're reading this, I don't want to be unduly rude, but just think of that expression that ends with '.....where the sun don't shine...'
    If you as the 'manager' of at least 2 shops with multiple girls, in this day and age, can't devise a half-decent and reliable booking system other than some scribbled on piece of paper, you're clearly not the person who should end up with my hard earned cash.
    And this is why the best shops never hire stupid or unorganised girls.
    Doesnt matter how they look if they cost other girls money and the shops reputation.

    Some owners foolishly believe that just hiring a few girls is enough to make money without doing any real management. It's honestly pretty naive

    Was also thinking about this...
    Serena did not only miss out on my money today, but potentially on repeat bookings, too, if I had liked her and her service. I wonder what that does for the work climate in those shops...
    But I think the main responsibility lies with management. How difficult can it be to establish a proper booking system, for example a proper spreadsheet with columns for the individual girls and say, 15 min time slots, either in paper form, or on a laptop or tablet.
    Or, as already mentioned in another thread, there are AI solutions for that. Which would basically pay for themselves by reducing problems like double-bookings, unanswered booking enquiries etc.
    But by the looks of it, most of these 'managers' and shop owners only care about collecting their money and otherwise don't give a shit about shop management.

    Some of these owners are so out of touch,

    they probably break into a sweat just opening a spreadsheet

    I see this problem has not resolved itself. I experienced this 3 times @T5 and so stopped going there. Given my punting history and frequency, that's around 30 visits that have now gone to other shops.

    Blaming the girls is not the solution nor is it fair. In my case the manager has taken the booking on his phone, but then not ensured it gets transferred to the paper list in the shop. In each case the girls in the shop were not inexperienced, disorganised or stupid - they simply were not told. The manager knows this is a problem, but doesn't seem to care enough to fix it.

    Let’s be real, there’s no damn manager. It’s just the girls scrambling to reply after finishing a client. No structure, no system

    How many shops is this now for you?
    One shop, probably their fault.
    Two shops, bad luck
    Three or more shops…what the fuck are you doing wrong?
    Some of this has to be on you if its multiple shops within a year

    In my decade or so punting, ive NEVER had a booking go like yours.
    Maybe they see me and throw the other guy out or rearrange quickly, but I always get seen when i book.
    Sometimes they run over by 5-10 minutes but thats probably the fault of the limp dick in before me.
    I always get my 30/45/60 minutes too.

    Seriously?
    What AM I doing wrong???
    I send a booking request that includes WHOM I want to see, WHAT TIME and FOR HOW LONG.
    If the booking gets confirmed, I confirm the confirmation....closed loop communication, if that means anything to you, and then I drive there and arrive at the agreed time.
    Posting crap for the sake of postinc crap, are we?

    In this case there is a manager.
    He texted me from a different cell number, identified himself as 'the manager', and I think I even saw him in the shop.

    Luckily, I haven’t had any issues with my bookings so far — maybe you went during a peak time.

    Now now. No need to get hysterical.
    “Postinc” crap?
    I go this chain occasionally, but when i do i have had no problem
    They seem to be very busy so obviously doing something right.

    At no stage will you look inward and wonder why this keeps happening to you?
    Maybe they have a note on your account to piss you off and mess you around? At multiple shops.
    Maybe you just have bad luck?
    Maybe they associate you to your user id and this is their revenge?

    Good luck anyway. Hope you get some of my fortune when it comes to bookings.

    I don't know, it was early afternoon.
    What I do know is that the 'booking sheet', an A4 sized piece of paper, was not even a quarter full, but what I saw scribbled on it looked like total chaos.

    What exactly is it that 'keeps happening' to me?
    I remember posting in general about various shops taking ages to reply to booking requests, without naming particular shops.
    I remember posting about two bad quality sessions at SSDS that had nothing to do with booking problems, and about overall dropping quality at the shop, a sentiment that was shared by quite a few other users.
    This is it.
    And from that you somehow construe, that I must be a shit magnet, basically the only one who has the occasional bad experience at massage shops, or that shop owners, girls plus the universe conspire against me? Seriously?
    Again, crap for the sake of writing crap. Antagonising for the sake of antagonising.

    I can back you up here, ive had 3 bad experiences booking at take 5, 1 bad experience booking at SSDS, ive never had problems at 5 star or time massage.

    Seems consistent where can be trusted and where cannot.

    Just got off work and saw there’s been quite a bit of discussion.

    I did have a Mina booking messed up once before, but to be fair, they made it right with compensation, so I was satisfied in the end.

    That said, there are definitely cases where a client might be on a girl’s private ban list, and an unaware girl ends up taking the booking. Then when the girl sees who it is, she says it was a mistake and refuses the session. Some girls do keep personal bans.

    But in this case with VFlowers, it doesn’t seem to apply—sounds like the girl hadn’t even seen him before, so it’s unlikely there was any reason for rejection.

    At the end of the day, we’re all here to enjoy ourselves. If one place doesn’t make you happy, there’s always somewhere else worth trying.

    In its simplest form, a half-way organised booking sheet should look like this. Took me less than 5 min....
    If you can't come up with something like that for your shop, you're either dumb as a brick, lazy as fuck, you absolutely don't give a shit, or any combination thereof.

    I’d suggest looking into some booking systems designed for the beauty or wellness industry — most of them are free to use.

    You’ll notice that many massage shops in shopping canters have a front desk computer running one of these systems.

    shops in malls are generally much busier and have more staff than those offering sexual services — sometimes up to eight staff on weekends.

    So using a system like Zanda Health or similar, which can be accessed on phones, tablets, and computers at the same time, could really help streamline operations.

    Some owners might find it a bit challenging to use this kind of software—otherwise, they might have chosen a more mentally demanding line of work
