Serena @ Vibe

Some guy there "thanked" her for her "attention" to the matter????
Too many guys ready to kiss ass, sometimes you really gotta take them down, considering they don't really know what's going on.
 
He (Herelookin) does seem to be a real knob on this topic, because I think his contribution there has been pretty decent, albeit a low post count.

Yeah, I don't think he's generally an ass-kisser like RoamingGuy, just he got in the middle of something that he didn't really understand.
 
With communication anonymity being so easy to do these days, unfortunately people often say things they'd never think of saying to someone, much less actually saying it to their face, or using their real identity....it's easy to be brave when they're incognito. Some do it regularity, and others like this guy only occasionally. Once you click that Send button it's gone.
 
Okay...yikes...Gina now accusing me (sort of) of 2 things that would have caused Serena enough reason to short the time...but she did not do it intentionally...wtf...Gina seems nuts on this thread. I did ask her privately to fill me on what I have been accused of doing that concerned Serena. I cannot see myself ever setting foot in Vibe again...hotties or not...
 
When Gina wrote the part that said, ...a very concerning matter to her in the room at the time..., I thought what's with this innuendo type of remark, and then to praise Selena for giving above average to service to you, inspite of whatever that concerning matter meant. The issue was being short changed in time, and as I had mentioned before, Gina and Selena seem to think it's your fault for not seeing the clock, but why don't they look at it...of course we know they do, as they definitely don't want to give you extra unpaid time.

After I wrote this, I looked at TERB and just saw that he had written the same concern to Gina already. If I were him, I'd sure want to know what this so called matter is about, which is very derogatory. Maybe Selena is just trying to cover her ass, by making up a story to counter the criticism she got.

Hope TERB isn't becoming a CERB where you can't say anything deemed negative about the girls, like a girl is fat, even when it's true and she knows it, or criticize a girl for short changing you on time, when it's also true.
 
That's the way it is, it's a very womanly thing to do, when you know you've been beat, then change the subject and redirect the blame. It's exactly like what I'd expect my wife or before that my mother would've done when they started losing an argument. Now, there's some unspecified "concerning matters".

Gina is doing her spa no service by being so combative. Even Angie at Angel's Touch, known for her combativeness will first try to resolve something with the customer first before going on the warpath.
 
George Carlin's clip is so true. Same as a girl doesn't want to admit or market herself as a big fat woman, so instead says she's a BBW, big beautiful women. So I guess a guy who's fat and has a big beer gut can also say he's a BBW, big beautiful waist! Girls no longer say they have a big fat ass, and instead say they have a big bootie. We can no longer say what things really are in plain language without people getting offended, just like George said.
 
Gina has always come across as a sarcastic and pompous bitch to me...I have never, nor will I see her.......she's "noted" my comments oooooohhhhh

Oh, I gotta disagree here, I think a bootie is a big ass that looks great, whereas a fat ass is one that doesn't. That's just lying through marketing, I won't hold that against them, afterall we are ourselves responsible for seeing through marketing lies, "buyer beware". I mean Toyota and Mercedes will both market themselves as building reliable cars, but only one of them is telling the truth (i.e. it ain't the Mercedes). In a way marketing lies are an honourable lie, I mean afterall what else would you expect them to say?

PC lies on the other hand are insidious, designed to change the rules of the game. Dilute the message, by making it hard to understand.

I saw her once at ALO when she used to work there, I had a relatively good time with her, but I did not repeat.
 
She is certainly not doing any favours for her business with her post. I have re-read it a few times trying to understand what could have happened...nothing worse than being accused of something you have no idea what it is. Her sentences are so completely disjointed she comes across as a complete airhead also...Anyway...I am now wondering if one of the 2 "concerning matters" is my mild case of psoriasis...I have openly discussed this before. When we got started I always explain with a new MA what it is and ask if she is uncomfortable. Serena had never seen it before (odd for someone working at a spa...but whatever) but she said she was ok. If that is the "unintentional" reason for shorting me, that makes her a major opportunist...

Random posters that I have never heard of are now chiming in, confirming that Gina is really not helping her business, in fact the contrary...
 
Ryan, I think you're right that's the reason for shorting you. She decided to go ahead with your appointed, inspite of her feeling of concern from the beginning, simply because she wasn't about to pass up making some money. The sooner she could finish, the better it was for her, and she hoped you wouldn't notice or care, and certainly didn't expect it to be brought up publicly.

She's likely exaggerated it to Gina, to avoid herself from being blamed by Gina. Serena had options, either politely refuse your appointment due to that condition, or if she didn't want to go the full hour, then offer you the 45 minute door and massage rate. Instead she willfully decided to get paid for the hour, knowing full well it was going to be less which was fraudulent. Gina missed the opportunity to give you the benefit of the doubt, and look at the longer term of treating a customer right, by at least refunding your door fee, so you'd come back again. When you're in business you don't always get a second chance to make a wrong right again.
 
I dont think Gina owns Vibe...I believe it is owned by someone from Montreal

Quite possibly...but she is clearly acting as Management, so for the untrained eye she would appear as the owner.
 
Although I didn't know it was owned by outsiders, I never thought Gina owned it, but rather seemed to be at least managing it, as she's the one who discussed it with Selena and offered Ryan that pittance refund.
 
So...Herelooking_p3 could not resist jumping back at Vibe's defense even after Gina's rant, he really is a bit of a kiss ass. I was looking at his posting history (not hard with 29 posts and almost 10 in the Serena thread), and his contributions have been utterly useless since he joined. He has not once provided any kind of review for anyone, in other threads he is defending ALO, sucking up to Veronica and in a couple of Vibe threads he is sucking up to Gina...it is positively nauseating...Is there a way was can vote him off the island? Can someone chime in on the thread that this is not the rosy board?

Yeah, I was thinking that could've been it too. So that leaves the question about WTF the second reason could've been?

Turns out it because I declined the shower! A bit kooky is Gina yes? The 2 "concerning matters" were a lack of initial shower and psoriasis. Oh well...am clearly done with Vibe.
