Gents we need to stop the BS - a rant

[airjarrod]

Let me first start by saying I am a long time member of the other board and for a time being was a very active poster. I found this forum a while back and since then have utilized it regularly, but for personal reasons no longer post. Further, most times I have something positive or negative to say its already been done so why restate. If this is reason to say I lack credibility here then so be it, but I do feel we as the "funding" for this hobby need band together and stop the crap which is becoming more evident daily.

I've had several poor encounters the past year but these last two have set me off and I feel a need to tell you all in hopes if we stop putting up wiht this BS we may force these ladies & MPs to take note that their service is quickly running downhill.

#1
At the suggestion of a visiting SP I booked a session with a friend of hers. Called in the morning for a session later in the afternoon. Confirmed a 430 time and got the hotel locaiton. I had a meeting that would go until 4 and another in the early eve so I had 90 mins between - perfectly timed. I arrived at the DT hotel right on time and texted her for the room as instructed at exactly 4:26. 4:35 no response. I resend stating Im there waitng for room number. 4:40 still nada...so I call. No answer. 4:42 text 'Hi 5 mins ok" still no room. I wait. 4:50 another text "5 more mins hun". No apology no nothing. I've now been waiting out front of the hotel for 25 mins, cold and front deks is curiously watching me. 4:55 nothing so I walk back to vehicle. As i start my vehicle "5 more mins" I respond "No thanks I'm out". "Are you ready to come up now?" she reponds. WTF? I call, she answers, "Are you coming up? (still don't have a room #)". I explain that I now no longer have time and she's kept me waiting for 1/2 hr. "Well shit happens in this biz ya know" "My last appt was late and he wanted to sit around and talk after, what am I supposed to do kick him out?" WTF?! YA dummy! #1 if your appt is late and it affects my time, they are booked to close together, and if it were me I'd fully expect the clock starts at the booked time I'm thinking. Before I can speak she yells "You need to learn about this industry" and hangs up. WOW is all I can say, if Im late I NEVER expect them to extend that is my problem not theirs. Time is $ I understand it. So is there no value to our time? Are we not the reason these ladies can make a living? Maybe I'm an idiot, but seems like quite the double standard.

#2 Yesterday.
Going to the hockey game and meeting people there. I have all the tickets so I refuse to be later than the time we said we'd meet. Its 5 and game at 7, agreed 645 takes me 20-25 to get there. Hmmmmmm, I can probably sneak in a 30-45 min session somewhere. Whats on the way. Legends, ok been a while since I've been there so I call. Receptionist tells me who is on, I say "Ok I'm two minutes away and only have 30 minutes who is avail right now" "All of them she says, come meet them" I respond "No I won't have time to meet, only have 30 minutes(ensuring she hears it again) I will book with (nameless, not important), cya in two minutes" I arrive park and fly up the stairs....all is going to plan, smooth as silk. Enter the WRONG! Receptionist greets me asks if Im the appt, I confirm and leads me to room. I enter room she points at shower and says there's the shower I will go tell her your here, she'll be right in (now 525) didn't start shower, no towel etc. Ok I think whatever, lack of professionlism but I'ma big boy. I start shower, get undressed, wait for water to heat up, get my own towel ready and rinse off. Get out, dry off and go lie down. Waiting and waiting (544) I'm thinking well this is now longer feasible. So I start getting dressed, enter my attendant she says "5 more mins hun" I explain I no longer have time and told her receptionist I had 30 mins. She leaves as I dress and comes back, "We just had a shift change (at 530 I'm thinking, ummm no) and she says she didn't hear that" I respond "I said it twice, she heard me". Now I feel bad she lost out on some really easy $ but seriously....wtf! I leave $20 for the shower clean up, and she walks me out saying "sorry, would you like to rebook?" In my head I'm saying no shot in hell with that idiot that answers your phone and is supposed to be our first impression.
Am I out of line here? Should we not be treated like CUSTOMERS???? Is that so hard to do when we enable this hobby?
We need to stop taking this crap lightly and walk out on them more.....maybe a lack of $ and missed LEXUS or Mortgage payments might change their mind about things. Ladies, you need to start realizing we too deserve respect and respect our time! Believe it or not, our time is $$ too!

I did return after the game to see the attendant as I didn't feel it was her fault and thought we could make ammends but unfortunately she was booked for the rest of the night.

Do you gents not agree that only we can change these behaviours and treatments? Lets put our foot down more regularly maybe one day they will realize we need to be valued too........

Sorry for the long winded post, but I'm fairly pissed - this kind of stuff happens to often.

There is no excuse for Poor Service whether it be at a MP or your Favorite Restaurant. Unfortunately, when you are dealing with people in general, somewhere a long the line you're going to encounter Poor Service.

It Sucks.

I hear your frustration brother Chubs69, I have been through similar situations, even with Independents that work for companies...hmmmm! Anyway, sometimes there is a small window of opportunity for us guys to get serviced, and so ladies, especially at MP, need to understand that our time is valuable as well.

...I think the problem in these two instances is that you're trying to "sneak in" sessions that on paper are "perfectly timed" but in reality shit happens and with this biz customer service and making repeat clientele will sometimes win out over being exactly on time for the next appointment.

You seem like the type who's always at least 15 minutes early for everything from work to play-time and all points in between, I'm definitely not that person so I really can't relate to how frustrated you must be that not everyone and everything in this world runs like a perfectly tuned Swiss time-piece.

I will agree that the first instance where the lady made you wait 30 min while she chatted with the previous client was not cool, being bumped back up to 15 min. is understandable under most circumstances, but a half hour is a half hour and not cool.

Now I also cannot relate to your experience at the MP, because I avoid MP's and would much rather deal directly with our great independent SP's in Edmonton, or for touring girls Edmonton-GFE. But from the sound of it this bad MP experience wasn't the girl's fault but the fault of the front-desk person, but also just a lack of planning on your part.

I don't ever book stuff on the fly, as something along these lines usually happens to me when I do. When you're pressed for time is usually not the time to book any session, especially with someone you've never seen before or an MP where you aren't familiar with the lineup or you aren't a regular guest.

I'm not saying these incidents are your fault, or that the other parties are blameless, I just think that you're getting a little worked up considering you're trying to "Ferris Bueller" (running thru ppls backyards desperately trying to get home and into bed before his parents get there first) these sessions in around very important real-life engagements.

Curb your enthusiasm! Allow way more time and plan ahead, if you're pressed for time stick to an ATF indie IMO. Then you know the location, she knows and appreciates you and these kind of headaches are very likely non-existent.

Just my 2 dollas homie, don't hate

nrGZR no hard feelings at all. I appreciate the input. I'm def not always early or on time, but I do hold myself and only myself accountable when I'm not. My problem with it is the attitude and the lack of accountability from the persons responsible. It seems the attitude is 'screw you' another will be along shortly who needs your $, and your time isn't worth anything.

Yes booking on the fly not always favorable, however I did explain twice, to the booker. If can't happen say so, just don't waste my time please. I respect those that say in honesty, "Hmmmmm probably can't make it happen" as opposed to those that do knowing it won't. The other appointment was booked well in advance.....so she has no excuse. She offered that time, and since it would work for me I took it.

Just clarifying, but thanks again to all.

I can feel your pain Chubs. There have been too many times over the years where similar things have happened to me. It really makes a person appreciate the ones that do value your time and are punctual.

After all the don't be early, don't be late threads I think he has just cause in being a little irritated. Swiss watch or Sun dial.

Digger,
Not quite as clean as HB.

There is no excuse for your two lousy experiences you write of. Some people are just rude and inconsiderate. I suppose this is common in all service related industries.

I can relate perfectly. I have sPent countless hours emailing back and forth, only to have the gentleman never book, or worse yet, book an appointment and not show up, without even making a call to cancel. Working in a MP this causes a big headache, as we often turn down a walk in to accomodate the one with an appointment. Drives me batty.

But thanks for posting this concern anyway, it needs to be heard.

We are humans. We should tolerate each other. Respect goes both ways.

Sadly there is only one way to get the message across

Vote with your wallets guys, any sign of a red flag, and bail

Sorry I'm late with my response....

But shit happens.
It does suck to have to wait if you have a booked time.
but as for the guy that did get the extra talk time. well...
Good for him. I'm sure he was happy for it.
and when booking last minute at an MP. your rollin the dice there.
I try to give at least an hour heads up. so the gal can finish what ever she was doing at the time.

Better luck next time.
