    i had an appointment with ricardo at shangrila.  perhaps my expectations were too high given the very positive reviews, but my expectations were not met.  the massage was completely average, but the real problem is that he hit me up for a tip during the session. i don’t know if these masseurs realize how unrelaxing it is to start calculating tip amounts while receiving a massage and wondering whether the nice tip i had planned to give is sufficient.  i understand that’s the masseur’s motivation, but (like so many of us) i want to give a nice tip because i really enjoy the service, not because the masseur wants to negotiate in the middle of the massage. even if i left “happy,” i wasn’t happy. i would not go back to him. 

    I had that same experience with him and won’t go back to him.  I’m less inclined to go to Shangrila because of it.  

  2. It’s in an odd office building on 5th Avenue.  They do have showers you can use but across the hall.   Had one terrible massage from a guy who really had no skills whatsoever.  Tried another guy but both times he cheated me on the full hour.   

  3. What if the tables were turned?   What if the client leads a carefree life and just schedules an appointment as a suggestion and cancels last minute on Caleb?  Caleb may not want to hear from the client again.   Just like the numerous people on this chain have given up on Caleb after their bad experiences. 
    At the end of the day it’s about respect.  Stuff happens and people need to cancel.  But it’s how you handle it to make up for the cancellation that speaks volumes.  If I was Caleb, I would apologize and proactively try to reschedule with the client another time and maybe offer extra time or a discount for the inconvenience.
