every few weeks, i go get a chinese foot massage from various places around ktown. they're cheap ($20/hr) and usually massage your shoulders too. i mainly go for the shoulder massage because i'm too cheap to pay $10 more for a half shoulder-half foot massage. i know it's pretty much a damn luxury that i get to spend money on this kind of stuff but you have to understand, too, that my shoulders collapse from my job. i am on a computer for at LEAST 45 hours a week during work and that doesn't include computer use outside of work during mornings, nights, and weekends. the fact that i crack my neck like it's crack cocaine doesn't help either.
this place that i go to on 4th and western has been relatively decent in the past few months. i went there today with my sister and it was the worst experience of my life. i cried to my parents over the phone about what happened. the man assigned to me today was lazy, rude, and i felt sexually harassed by him. after 30 minutes of half-assed--no make that third-assed--work, i bolted up and demanded that someone else give me the massage. he had the audacity to say he'd switch with my sister's guy (who was only just decent as well) but i did not want him touching my sister either. then the guy acted offended, demanded payment for just 30 minutes, and went outside to smoke.
if i could've punched him, i would have.
what hurt most was that i felt violated as a woman. i felt cheated out of my hard earned money. i am forking over $20 that could easily go to something else.
even after all this - AFTER i told the front desk guy that i would never be coming to this business ever again and i waited outside for my sister to be finished - the guy who massaged my sister comes outside and asks for a tip.
i am infuriated, tired, and just want my shoulders to feel better. when will this week be over?
