Just copied my post from "tricks SW-s use", I assume it is applicable here as well, especially if you are newbie/immigrant... trust issues and personal experience. Just to dilute philosophical discussion of steel hardened pro-s above
One of the most common tricks over newbies is to abuse language barrier
Especially Asian spa-s with fake photos/app filters whatever...
Guy did homework, read reviews, called to book an appointment the same way he does, ehm, standard services in real life. Random girl meets him at the reception - can I see "whatever nickname"? Come, follow me... You are not looking like "nickname"... Zis way pliz...
Just pretending she is the girl he tried to book an appointment with.
Happened to me... Yes, English is my second language and my Mandarin is close to zero... But I've been focused on my purpose... Finally met desired lady on my third visit to the same spa
Gosh, laughing at myself now, but it was the beginning of my hobby.
Science background and problem solving algorithms from previous life were not the most efficient ones here
P.s. great respect to Google translate
P.p.s. Random visits when girl tries to charge extra in the middle/at the end if she sees you are new to this (do not know keywords/acronyms/ just shy) and you like the process......
P.p.p.s. Many years ago before hobby even started... Wanted to give a present to close friend, kind of "all included" birthday gift session with exotic black girl. Did not have a clue how industry works
Googled... talked to receptionist, gave max requested tips and stayed in car while my friend walked in. She did not notify a girl... Girl requested tips once more from my friend in the middle of a session while my friend was totally unaware what is going to happen and did not have cash in his pockets. Totally fucked up event
Yes... she went out of a room and talked to receptionist, returned and did the job... but... I hope you understand what I mean...
