BrklynNYC Posted July 28 Posted July 28 (edited) The whole extras business can jeopardize the business. But that's what this facilities are really surviving on. Otherwise you'd go to a legit spa. There are discrete ways of communicating what is offered and what is being exchanged. Edited July 28 by BrklynNYC + Tarte Gogo, AtticusBK, bcamair and 3 others 5 1
AtticusBK Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I would also keep in mind that most of these guys are obv not from the States and are v likely v worried re everything going on w/ ICE, etc., right now. Some are also working multiple jobs (1 told me he’s a landscaper AND a bartender for a catering company as well), so their lives are by no means easy. I can’t blame any of them for trying to make an extra buck (while still making it an enjoyable experience). bcamair, ROBBNYC, NipLuvr212 and 1 other 3 1

In most service industries it’s completely normal- bartenders, hairdressers, even delivery guys expect tips. Why should masseurs be treated differently, especially when most of them aren’t making a fortune off the base rate? I’d rather know upfront that tips are appreciated than assume they’re fine working for pennies I think there is a misunderstanding here. Expecting a tip is fine, asking for one is not fine. Imagine if your waiter in a restaurant or your hairdresser verbally asked you “How much will you tip?” But this is especially a problem since asking for tip in exchange for extra services would get the place closed, and forbidden to do business, if the client is an undercover policeman. This has happened to Time Square Men Spa very recently, another spa which is only 10 blocks from HK men spa. And it will happen again.

Nyc000here Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Tried Ivan, don’t really see what all the rave reviews are about. Probably early 30s , decent looking body, okay massage

First of all, you can’t compare the service of a waiter or a barber to that of a spa. If you’re only going to the spa for a massage, then sure, a $20 tip might be appropriate. But let’s be honest — if you’re going expecting something else and want to touch the massage therapist for $20, come on, don’t play dumb. I don’t see you trying to touch your barber or a restaurant server, because you’d get beaten up right away. The comparison you’re making is stupid. They’re not there to satisfy anyone. Download a dating app — there, you don’t have to tip

Download a dating app — there, you don’t have to tip I agree with Tarte Gogo. The service industry is full of customers who think 5% or 10% is an acceptable tip for wait staff, for example. Wait staff could easy "advise" that they expect at least 20% for their work. Is the comparison completely equal? Maybe not but it's close enough.

They will get shutdown if they ask for tips, because there are undercover police doing spot checks. it is up to Yura to see how much risk he wants to take. urbanfetish 1

JayinHKNYC Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Walking from one meeting to another, I passed by 52nd Street. David was out on the sidewalk taking a break. I recognized him from the pictures, but I asked him if he worked there. Not sure why I asked him the question, he gave me a somewhat odd look. I said, "David, right?" He smiled and said, "yes". I told him I usually plan ahead, but in between meetings, I almost wanted to try a walk-in (which I've never done). I wish I could have. He is much more attractive in person than his photos in the roster. Adorable smile. I will definitely return sometime to see him inside. AtticusBK 1
