I Love a Good Massage
Okay -- here's what happened.
I go to this place on a semi-regular basis and I know the owner. She's a really neat person: good personality, obviously very smart, and she runs an upfront business. Nothing shady goes on in her place. She has a regular staff along with trainees. I pay beforehand and tip the masseuse after the hour long session.
So today I get massaged by this girl who's new. She does a good job and it's time for me to tip her. I hand her the money and she looks at me and motions for more. I want to point out this is not a small tip amount. She looks at me and motions for more. I look at her as if to say "wha?....." and this comes the conversation.
She leans toward me and says (in broken English): "hey if I touch you deek you give me fifty dollar!"
Well she didn't touch it - that's not why I'm there and I know that's not the kind of massage parlor the lady runs. I see what her game is: she's trying to extort more of a tip from me.
That pissed me off so I looked at her and said "hey if you touch my deek you give me one hundred dollar!"
She gave me a scowl and I walked out to the front, where the owner always greets me.
"how was it?" she asks.
I looked at the masseuse while saying "how long have I been coming here?"
The Owner: "oh you're one of my best and favorite customers. You're nice and friendly."
Me: "you always have a good staff here, and she did a good job. I hope she likes the tip."
The Owner: "oh you're a good tipper: I know she'll like it."
Me: "thank you. I'll be back soon."
....fifty dollars to touch it..... sheesh.....
