It proves that the MLs and the owners don't see us as anything but quick cash, or some 'idiot punter' to push around.
I saw that contempt firsthand, too. Back before COVID, I had an ML at one of the top shops straight-up bragging about a $3K tip plus a bouquet of flowers she got from some punter. Worse, she was laughing about him and immediately started spilling all his personal details like how many franchise shops he owns (even named the franchise), the info about his kids, and so on. That's the stuff I absolutely didn't ask for. Why would I? I was only there for the massage and fun.
That whole experience just screams that it's not simply unprofessional on the shop's end. It's straight-up contempt for punters.
Why should we feel the need to be 'kind' or give extra tips to MLs who are just going to mock us behind our backs?
Forget being generous. You didn't do anything wrong, mate. They did.
