Apologies if this has been discussed before but have you experienced, and how have you reacted to, "customer service fatigue" from masseurs. I'm a very solid tipper, very respectful, and a regular with someone from 27 spa, yet little by little customer service has degraded as he's become more familiar and less focused on the service, eg, asking to delayed appts for scheduling then cut time short, conversations and interactions getting more by rote, etc.

Regular at Hush. Recommended.

Nope. Won't make that mistake again. I feel a little bad because I follow this forum closely but rarely chime in. And now I do so out of disappointment. Still, what I experienced with Charlie wasn't Thai massage. I've had Thai massages. This was inexperienced, poor technique, massage by rote. I'm a regular at TS and had sessions with everyone, many times. All in all the team are quite good. Charlie is the odd one out. First time I've regretted a massage in a very long time.

If you're introduced to your masseur at a spa, and you decide that he isn't your type, you're right -- you'd have a very embarrassing moment if you asked for someone else. I really don't see how you could worm your way out of that.
I think that if you asked the spa in advance, you wouldn't get much help. The best thing to do is to ask here, on this message board. You'll get much more honesty in the comments and opinions.
