I always look forward to getting a massage at 27 Men’s Spa whenever I’m in New York—I’ve always had a great experience. The last time, about seven months ago, I had Sandro, and it was excellent.
However, yesterday’s experience was really disappointing. I had Alex, and it felt like all he wanted to do was rush through the massage, get me off, collect a tip, and be done with it.
To make it worse, just before I left, another masseur reminded me to leave a tip. I was surprised because I always tip when I’m satisfied, and none of the previous masseurs ever asked for one directly.
This time, it felt pushy and inappropriate, which really put me off.
