Sorry MF'er
We had a very busy evening tonight. There were four massage therapists, and each of us had appointments at 7pm. It happened to be 6:15pm and this man wanders in and sits down among all the other people in the waiting room/lobby.
The male therapist [R] asks him if he had an appointment. The guy said, "I didn't know I needed one." [R] told him, "You don't, but I was checking to see if I needed to check you in. Hang on, and someone will be here to help you."
I went out there. The man says, "I saw the sign out front saying $55 for a Swedish Massage." I said, "Yes." He said, "Let me make it easy on you. I just want my feet massaged for an hour. I've been walking ALL DAY, and my ankles and feet hurt bad. I need them rubbed out." I said, "The sign out front is for a full body massage. A foot massage is a dollar a minute." His disposition changed. He began to argue. So, I got up and stopped talking to him, asked another therapist to speak with him.
He begins to tell her the same thing, and she tells him the same thing I said, that the special out front is for a Swedish Massage, which is a full body one hour massage, NOT a foot massage. Our price for a foot massage is $1 per minute.
I hear commotion, so I go back out there to describe it in a different way.
He is telling her, "But it's JUST my feet. You aren't working my entire body. I don't get it."
I interrupt and said, "Sir, a foot massage is detailed work. We offer a 15 minute foot massage and a half hour foot massage. We don't sell it for $55. It is a dollar a minute. That's the price." He said, "Okay, I have 23 dollars, what can I get with 23 dollars?" I said, "You can get a 23 minute long foot massage."
He said, "You guys are full of shit." I said, "I'm sorry you feel that way." He said, "Damn right you're sorry, you sorry mother fucker," and he walked out the door.
Um, okay. I said, "Have a nice night walking home." The other therapist said, "Asshole." I was shocked she said that because I didn't and we had a client in the lobby.
What a joke, he ONLY had $23 on him, yet wanted a $55 massage that he couldn't have. He didn't have enough to begin with.
Another client that happened to be listening to all this said, "Don't worry. Those types of guys aren't worth your time and energy. He's a jerk and it's better that he goes."
