BIG CLIENT BREAKS HOTEL BED

[bendable2019]

What would you do if your big client breaks your hotel bed during a massage session? How do you avoid being charged for the breakage&loss?

This is a great question. I've had my massage table broken when the weight is too much. No one wants to take responsibility, but it's very common on the forums for people to be very upset if a masseur asks about your size or for a picture before you meet up. I'm not complaining about anyone, just wondering how to handle weighty issues. If clients are too heavy, do you cheerfully pull out a mat and tell them you bet they would really benefit from your Thai massage technique?

That’s very courteous to lay a mat to save you both the trouble and embarrassment. Thanks for that.

You can't avoid paying for the hotel bed that your big client breaks during a massage session. The hotel will charge you for it. In a case like this, it is only fair that the big client pays for the damage to the bed, since it is their body weight that caused the damage. If a client is big (translated: overweight) then they are fully aware that it was their weight that caused the damage, and they are held responsible. Kind of a no brainer that most rationale clients would agree on.

I agree with what you say @Dmitri tho I’ve known some heavily overweight guys to be irrational about the impact of their weight. I wonder how in practice a masseur would be able to gain reimbursement from the client.

I have to disagree to some extent. Think about it from the client's perspective: He knows he's overweight, but he has no idea what's happened on that bed previously. For all he knows, the bed is about to collapse anyway and the combined weight of both he and the masseur were the tipping point in the bed's collapse. Maybe the masseur had other, similarly large clients before him. Maybe the last people who stayed in that room were even bigger. Who knows? As beds are not cheap, as a client I wouldn't simply fork over several hundred dollars because the masseur asked for it. I am fortunately not so large as to make a bed collapse at this point so I am not arguing this out of a defensive position; I just think it's a bit of a stretch to lay the entire responsibility on one client simply because the obvious damage occurred while he was there.

And I agree with you @maninsoma

 

Unfortunately I can see those exact arguments being made by the heavyweight client who doesn’t want to pay for the bed he broke

It is the combined weight of the people on the bed but even there, the bed should be able to withstand that. I checked into a hotel and sat on the bed and the bed collapsed. While I am big, I am not collapse the bed big. I called the front desk and after a quick exam by the maintenance staff, I was given an upgraded room and room service charges were removed. This was in Toronto and so there may have been a graciousness baseline higher than here in the U.S.

I've heard about one case... on his second visit the escort fucked him in the floor... the guy broke his bed. At 300lbs and 250 rate that wasn't a dollar per pound.
