BAD MASSAGE AND DONT WANT TO PAY? Thoughts?

[KevinHere]

Last night I had a horrid experience. the massage was laughable and almost painful. I just wanted it to end but felt uncomfortable asking him to JUST stop and let me leave so I suffered through it until the lackluster HE. I did not even feel I should have paid. Thoughts on what to do if happens again? The RM reviews we good too. But a HUGE waste of my time and money.

We feel your pain. Inflict some by providing a link.

If you stayed through whole session, then you need to pay for the whole session. If you had left before the end, then I would say that you owe him some lesser fee...but you stayed the whole time. "You ate the Steak!" (Judge Judith Sheindlin)

Sometimes we invest in a stock that loses money. Sometimes we eat a meal that tastes bland. These are risks when you make a purchase/hire. No going back. Just learn lessons to avoid those choices moving forward.

That's the problem with feeling uncomfortable and NOT asking him to STOP. I try to avoid confrontation. Some people handle rejection badly. I have been lucky, very few episodes where I wanted to end early and get out. Very few. If you're not willing to confront, then there will be times when the effort is a waste of money. Chalk it up to a rainy vacation day. It's not the end of the world, and you know not to go back.

I’ve only had an experience once that I ended early. His place was filthy and he was wearing a stained shirt. After chatting for like 5 min I told him that I was sorry but it wasn’t going to work out but offered him 1/3 of the agreed price. for his time.

It’s scary to confront sometimes but if you don’t then it’s on you.

I’d say you’ve got a very small window...about 5 minutes to declare

“This isn’t working for me” and pay a nominal “showing up” fee

as compensation.

 

If he doesn’t look like his pics, doesn’t provide the services he

promised, or asks for the cash up front....good bye....no fee.

 

That’ how I handle it. YMMV.

 

Don’t have the balls to say anything? Pay the fee and eat bitter pie.

The entire process made me unconformable since this was not a traditional business transaction in a nontraditional setting it was uncharted for me. The five minute suggestion is good and thank you. Roll the dice as see what happens I guess but this platform is helpful. A few other times the massage was good and it turned into MUCH more than I expected for the same rate. they seemed to enjoy a great deal so I was like "who should pay who now".
