MPs - a waste of time in The Philippines?
[QUOTE=Billpsu]What a classic ripoff. Went there around 1pm, at the suggestion of a friend, to take advantage of their "Happy Hour." It was not so happy. [/QUOTE]
Thanks for the heads up, Bill. I've been meaning to try the place for ages, in view of the positive reviews that the place have received, but will probably now give the place a swerve.
It would immediately put me in a cranky mood with the apparent unhelpfulness of the papasans and the payment demand in the CR for what should be a complementary towel. And the 1200% mark up on the pineapple juice would really get me spitting feathers. Why is it always the case that greed now rather than a longer term view of customer care, is always the keynote in these sort of places in The Philippines? Their business plan is screw the maximum from their customers whilst offering the minimum possible service and fuck the repeat business.
Best to visit either China and Thailand if you are really into the genuine massage parlor experience. There you get the real deal at reasonable, non rip off prices.
The Airforce One back and forth
This is a little ridiculous on both sides. In any mongering venue there are going to be downright bad girls. That's the way it goes. Just because one person had a first time bad experience doesn't mean the rest are like that. And for the people who have had success on all or the majority of their visits, doesn't mean there aren't bad providers at the same establishment. It happens, and it will continue to happen. The problem with places like this is that the costs are a little higher, so getting a disappointment stings more than it will in other venues. Whether or not the person is cool or not, might not matter in regards to getting good service. Sometimes, you just have bad luck and get a shit provider. Just because you haven't doesn't mean they don't exist or you won't later. At the same time, one bad provider doesn't make the whole place bad.
Being manhandled by girls - esp. near LA cafe
There is a scam going on where girls put their hands all over you, hug you, etc., then plant drugs on you. They work with police, who then arrest you, and, well, you know the rest. Security at a hotel told me about this because it happened to one of the hotel guests....so be careful.
