Star Cherry Bad experience

[Mr Robot]

I'll just come out and say it- this post is complete bullshit. This evening I've done some investigating and I can only conclude that Blue tea is not being honest.

Here are the facts:
1. Cherry is visiting Brisbane from Melbourne short term.
2. She is attractive and looks early 20's.
I've looked into Blue tea as well. He seems to post very positively about take 5.
3. Poppy (Star massage owner) is an excellent operator. If you go to the shop, you know this. The shop is customer focused and the girls are happy working there.

So, Blue tea I'd like to you to answer a few questions...
1. Did you actually go to Star massage? I have serious doubts.
2. Are you a shop owner? I think you are.

If that's the case, I really think you are a lowlife. Poppy and the girls at Star work hard to provide great experiences for customers- they don't deserve this.
This forum is for punters! There is no place for this bullshit here.
I'll wait for your reply.....

It's not hard to see why he and others think you’re backing the shop — since Feb 24 you have posted 20 times, 17 related to Poppy's shop and apart from debating with other "punters" your posts were all positive.
If you aren't the owner (one post accidentally written in Japanese) it's pretty clear you are her number 1 fan.

Let’s be real — like any place, there are standouts and there are duds. Poppy’s had plenty of praise, so when one of her girls doesn’t deliver, it’s fair game to call it out.

Owners have to accept both positive and negative feedback just like any business. It's up to them how they deal with that feedback.
Generally not good customer service to attack the customer providing the feedback.

Mr Robot-I don't think I have hidden the fact that I think it is a good shop. I've had great experiences there and have expressed that on this forum many times. So what?

I believe this post by Bluetea is intentionally trying to harm a shop that has been an excellent addition to the Brisbane RNT scene. He made a number of claims that are just untrue. He cast aspersions over their quality control based on one session with a brand new girl. He said she looks over 35- not true.
As I said earlier, if he'd just kept his comments to the session that's fair game but to say the quality control is an issue is just unfair to Star.

BTW- I am not posting on behalf of the shop, I'm calling out bullshit when I see it.

I don't know what the Bluetea's motivation was but I believe punters have a right to know the facts. Are you suggesting I should just stay quiet?

[Pome]

Also- I never posted in Japanese and it wasn't an accident. It was directed at a Chinese "punter".

[JJBeck]

Majority of my experience at Star are great.
Poppy is still amazing and her style rubs of on her staff.
Few shops where I will do a walk-in without a booking.

I’ve visited Poppy’s place twice now, and despite living just a two-minute walk from 5 Star, I can genuinely say both experiences at Poppies were worth the drive. My only issue was with the shower facilities at Carina, they weren’t up to par. I’m looking forward to the potential opening of the new premises, whenever that may be?

I completely support people posting regularly about their favourite shop — that’s what forums are for. But when someone shares a different opinion and you’ve only posted about one place, it can come across as a bit one-sided.

One comment about their perception of poor quality control shouldn’t be enough to cause such a strong reaction.

Things like appearance are subjective — they said “over 35,” you said “much younger.” Both are opinions, and both are valid. Isn’t that the whole point of a discussion forum — sharing experiences and perspectives, even when they differ?

From your post history, is it fair to say you mainly visit or review Poppy’s shop?

It seems like someone had a bad experience, shared it, and it wasn’t well received — but that doesn’t mean their view is any less valid.

Why not explore and post about a few other shops too? Maybe some in Carina, if that’s a more convenient area for you?

For the record, I’ve also had many great experiences at Poppy’s — and also at other places.

No one’s saying you should stay quiet. Keep sharing your views — just as others should be free to share theirs too.

[Pome]

Mr Robot - I've never said people shouldn't share their views. Just that they shouldn't post misinformation. Please don't misrepresent what I said- that's really annoying.

I think the strong reaction came from Bluetea who had 1 poor session with a new girl and despite him later saying he'd had good experiences there, he questioned the whole shop. I've already said that I have no problem with him relating a bad experience -Mr Robot I hope this is not too hard for you to grasp.

In addition, I congratulate you on your successful punting record- you must be proud. I hope you continue to enjoy yourself- I certainly will.

Saw Cherry’s pics on WeChat — she was wearing a Japanese-style robe and looked pretty decent at first glance. I assumed she might be on par with girls like Hibiki or Ami. The place promotes itself as a Japanese-style shop, so even if she wasn’t Japanese, I expected some level of quality.

But nope — total disaster. She opened the door and I thought, “Wait, isn’t this the same girl from SSDS?” I’m not 100% sure about the name, but I’m convinced it’s the same person I turned down at SSDS just last week. I didn’t want to be rude by walking away again, so I stayed. Big mistake.

They claim she’s in her 20s — in reality, she’s easily 35 or older. I went for the $150 BJ option, and honestly, it was a nightmare. Zero skill, way too much teeth, and even painful at times. No clue what she was doing — no technique, no sensuality, no foreplay, just clumsy and awkward from start to finish.

Total waste of time and money. Never going back. If the owner cares at all about their shop’s reputation, they seriously need to tighten up quality control.

You are free to write reviews about the girls—that seems to be your hobby, after all.

However, I always strive to create a business that supports both the girls and our customers. When customers have concerns or complaints, they speak to me directly. I take that feedback seriously and use it to improve the shop.

But instead of speaking to me, you chose to post publicly, saying things like “the shop should do better quality control” and that you “will never return.” That feels more like harassment than constructive criticism.

Are you someone who doesn’t even have the courage to speak to me directly?

It seems you know some personal details about me, so perhaps I was the one who gave you the massage? If that’s the case, I find it even more surprising that you would post a comment that could negatively affect my business.

Also, you said you visited the shop and saw Cherry—are you sure about that?

She is 22 years old, and anyone—100 out of 100 people—would say she looks like she’s in her early 20s. you claimed she looks 35 or older. That alone makes me question whether you even received a massage from Cherry?

I had high hopes for Star and Poppy. Was hoping it would turn into the J version of the old T5. Started with a bang, but have to say recently has not lived up to "my expectation" I found better service, value and prettier MLs elsewhere. Not sure if the wechat pictures are meant to be 'hazy', but they do nothing for me either. I prefer accurate photos or none at all. Some shops do send pictures that self delete which i appreciate. I do think that shops are struggling getting quality girls and/or keeping them. SSDS, FG are examples of this. Competition is fierce and a couple of dud punts from the same shop will make me start going elsewhere.
And for the record i agree with Mr Robot. And Bluetea can review any way he likes. His money his visit. He may have high standards, he may be lying or be a shop owner, but I'm pretty sure Star Cherry punters who had a great time would come out and refute him. Fredward had a great time, and i trust his reviews, but he did stipulate if you like a certain type of girl she may not be the one, which you can't tell from the wechat photo when making a booking.

Based on your over the top defence of Poppy and her shop it's clear you have a vested interest in this shop.
You clearly are unwilling to accept any form of criticism let alone address the OP's concern.

I agree with the general sentiment that most of the girls at Poppy’s are of a very high standard. I saw Ami for the first time this week and like others I’ve seen there before her, she was outstanding.

From what I gathered, the original poster wasn’t trying to tear anyone down but simply expressed concern that Cherry might not meet the same standard as the others. I personally haven’t seen Cherry in the room, so I can’t speak from direct experience—but based on appearances alone, if she were lined up alongside some of the other girls, I wouldn’t have picked her either.

Not every comment that isn't glowing is an attack.

I know you will want to have the last word so I'll leave it with you...

I wasn’t planning to comment again — I was happy to let it go. It was just a simple review about a girl I didn’t like, nothing more.

But since you felt the need to jump in and blatantly lie about her age, alright then — let’s go there.

Yeah, no doubt — Cherry’s English is crap. But when I asked her age, she didn’t even flinch. Just flat-out told me she’s 27 — clear as day.

Let’s be real, girls in this line of work almost always lie down, not up. They shave years off their age, not add to it. So if you’re out here claiming she’s 22, I seriously don’t get why she’d randomly add five years. It just makes zero sense.

What I saw was clearly someone in her early 30s. And honestly, instead of jumping in to defend her, maybe take a good hard look at your own real age — then think about what age you tell clients. You’ll quickly figure out whether your argument holds any weight.

And hey, if this “Cherry” you’re talking about really is 22, then show proof. I swear to God — if you can prove she’s 22, I’ll eat shit live on stream.

And by the way — since you’re the boss, I assume you’ve seen her visa info, right? So think carefully for a second… is she really 22 like you say?
Was she really born in 2003?

[superintend_h]

Our shop contacted by Cherry a few weeks ago, but we couldn’t give her job cause she didn’t understand what we’re saying and she had to use the translation app. Also she didn’t look like 29, over 35 something - I agree.

However, what we don’t understand is how can the girls communicate with the customers with zero English…are the customers still happy with it? And how the shop hiring these type of the girls?

We’re just questioning, nothing more than that.

[JJBeck]

Which shop do you work at our manage?

[Pome]

Looks like Elysian Massage.

I don’t know if you are talking about the same person

the English thing isn’t really a big deal. Take Ami from the same shop—her English wasn’t great either at first.

She used to write down her services in her phone notes and was super clear about payment, even telling you the PayID (which was actually Poppy’s personal number).

Last time I saw her, she could explain her menu just fine.

So yeah, language isn’t the issue here.

I just had a not-so-great experience and left a straightforward review. Nothing personal against the shop.

So, you are admonishing this customer for not contacting you with his feedback directly.
Well, I DID contact you directly and immediately after my very underwhelming experience with one of your MLs, one that YOU picked for me after I told you what I was after. Unfortunately you took that as an opportunity to use me as a practice subject for your least experienced and likely least popular girl - instead of treating me as a paying customer.
Upon your request I provided you with very detailed feedback via email, and yet have not heard anything back, not even a confirmation of receipt.
But no worries, no answer is also an answer, and I now know everything I need to know about you and your shop.

If somebody is interested in details, send me a PM.

Update: After posting here, I got finally contacted by Poppy (after she got contacted by another user), and of course, you guessed it, she claims she never received my mail. No resolution was offered, only accusations that I posted without checking whether she had received my mail. How about maybe having a professional, reliable email address for the shop?

How many shops is that now?

[VFlowers]

You know what? You've made it onto my ignore list now.

Too close to the truth?

[Bed Wrecker]

Too close to the truth?

It is possible that Mr Flowers just has a bad run of luck, expects too much or is fussier than most.
Maybe a combination of all of the above.

I have yet to be banned from a shop or refused to go to one. And I’m an arsehole.

No probs expecting decent service for your money. But life’s too short to be throwing tizzy tantrums at multiple shops for problems that are only partly to blame on shops and service providers

God speed on your next visit Mr Flowers, wherever that will be.
May an asian babe fornicate you with all the passion of a nymphomaniac.
