The squeaky wheel...

I guess sometimes it pays to stick up for yourself.  I just got a massage at a local spa this weekend.  I was really looking forward to it since I was so stressed about my test.  I arrived early (as recommended) but by the time the treatment started it was definitely after the 10 o'clock hour that we were supposed to start.  When I finished the massage I thought it seemed short and I looked at my watch and it was only 10:50am.  It was supposed to be for a full hour.  On top of that I clearly marked on my questionairre that I don't like to talk while I get a massage because it makes it difficult for me to relax.  The massage therapist talked to me the ENTIRE time.

So I should have said something then but I lost my nerve.  Instead, I filled out the form online that they emailed me and stated my complaints.  I just got a call from the manager and she said that she would love it if I came back in and they were going to comp me an hour massage!  Awesome news and I think they handled the complaint really well.  I'm excited to get another massage sometime soon!

I never used to have any nerve to stand up for myself and now I've gotten more assertive.  So glad I was able to give her the straight story!

  • Good for you!  I also hate to talk during a massage.  I''m glad you can go back again and maybe get to relax this time!

  • That's great!!  The older I get the more I learn to stick up and speak up.   It definitely pays off. 

    Enjoy your next massage.

  • Awesome! I HATE it when they talk during massages. NOOOOOOO!!!!
  • Great job standing up for yourself!  I would have been annoyed too if the therapist was talking the whole time!

  • That is great that you spoke up. As a paying customer you deserve quality. Although I would hope that your next massage won't be by the same person.That could be awkward.

  • That's awesome! And fantastic customer service on their part -- sure they're losing out on the profits for an hour massage, but more than likely you'll return to the spa, correct? Win-win!

    Good for you for standing up for yourself -- I'm totally the same way and wouldn't have said anything. Looks like it pays off!

    I know, right?  I made it clear that she did a good massage but blatantly ignored the fact that I didn't want to be talked to, even though it stated it on the form I filled out.  I really hope they give me someone else and might specifically request someone else when I call for the follow-up appointment.
