The same can be asked of masseurs, is it a good idea to see any of these clients, many that have been on planes, crowded airports, big meetings.

Would now be a good time to ask your regular masseur if he is offering a discount?

No.

No.

For the couple of guys I see, I would not want to compound an already noticeable drop in business with a reduction in revenue by those who continue to see them. I think too highly of these guys to to do that.

Now would be a GREAT time to give him a BIG tip as his business may be slow.

Exactly

They might return the favor.

Uhm. No.

 

If your therapist wants to offer discounts they know how to communicate that information to you.

 

ASKING for a discount in this environment is really, really bad form.

Living in a big city I am trying to stay away from as many people as possible....6 Degrees of Separation is a good way to look at who you may or may not interact with. Maybe one person is live with virus, all it takes is that person to contaminate many peoples. Being so close I would not take a chance. I'm older but very healthy, I've never had seasonal flu, but have had bronchitis from Springtime allergies and that was a 2 week ordeal. So no thanks...stay away for awhile....

I'm contacting some of my faves to offer to prepay a session to be scheduled at a happier time in the future. I know these guys are good for it, and suspect they could use a little cash flow at the moment.

You are a mensch. I have two regulars and will reach out to see if they are okay. Thanks for reminding me to show a little compassion in this crazy time. In fact, I think I will make a donation to the Ali Forney center - no doubt they are also in need....

Very thoughtful and generous gesture to pre-pay. Also very sweet of you.

I’ve made an appointment and plan to follow through and continue researching.
