Â Not even the pretence of serving old wine in new bottles, juz old wine in old bottles! With each iteration, the design and decor of the place has gone from inspired to dismal.

randomtots Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) One cant help but reminisce with fond nostalgia about the bosses of yore, Eric of Oceanic, Vince of Msquare, Eugene of His Cheri, Fat Alex of Relax Bay, Ah Boy of ABS and even the infamous Steven of Luap Luap, who gave their massage businesses identity and character. Always at hand to chat and recommend, they knew what you desired better than even you yourself! There was no absent management, allowing masseurs to run amok, no sabotaged cockup booking, no time shortchange, no rushed massage, no hostile reception so typical of current establishments.

actofgod Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Having remarked how surly the masseurs fronting the counter are, I was told instructions have been given in no uncertain terms that no one must appear friendly, least of all to another masseur's customer, so as not to give cause for internecine war! Since when has competition become so keen and masseurs so hard up that appearing friendly can spark such hostilities?!!!! You will end up with NO customers at all, then there will be nothing to fight over and serves you right. onewaysolitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked why management is egregiously absent, what with bosses on extended vacations in Switzerland, China, Thailand and such ALL the time, we are smugly told things are miraculously self-running. Yes, when left to themselves, entropy can only increase and things will descend into disorder! Obviously, business has been too good such that notwithstanding serious imperfections, money still keeps rolling in. Time for a shake-up in this industry!

truthbetold Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Actually, talking about absent management, with the obvious exception of Brendan of Dsparadise, who still commands respectable adulation, the other bosses are best ABSENT. Their presence can only serve to exacerbate the bad vibes already emanating from the front counter. Case in point is Shuang itself.

In the old days, the bosses themselves manned the counters, principally for security reasons like screening the customers and maintaining good PR. Now, of coz, the bosses have grown fat, lazy and complacent, tending to delegate this heavy duty to minions. With the exception of Cloud9, the counters are manned by whichever masseur whose turn is next. The bosses, like David, Kai, Andy and Ivan will drop in occasionally to register their presence. Cloud9 actually has a receptionist of sorts who is a non-masseur but the previous one was so surly that customers were pissed off and it defeated the purpose of having a receptionist!  Getting the masseur whose turn is next to man the counter is also not necessarily a good cost-saving option because there is a temptation to screw up a rival's bookings, like what they did to poor Dylan and Ken over at Dspa. There is also a tendency to show displeasure when a walk-in customer opts for a masseur other than the one manning the counter. Phone bookings can also be screwed up even when handled by the bosses personally because they are never on-site in the first place and are unaware of double bookings or local problems.    Edited October 23 by skinnyduck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be glad to visit them again if that previous receptionist is gone.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthbetold Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 (edited) The most under-rated masseur at Shuang must be Daniel. The freshest amongst (extremely) old-timers, it must be very difficult on him as it is notoriously brutal for newbies to establish their standing in fossilized cliques. Nevertheless, he soldiers on with a disposition cheerful enough to lift the gloom that is like a pall on the place.
