Damn, here I am, and here we go again!!!! WTF!?/$%&*@ do not tip chicas in low rent MPs they do not expect it, no one else (Ticos) does it and you will only cause problems for everyone else and
the chica will only think you are a dumb ass and laugh at you for doing it. Paying a little extra for extras such as backdoor is different. In the MPs if the chica does not want to do BBBJ-"NEXT". Most will do BBBJ automatically. PLEASE guys,
do not tip these chicas-they honestly do not understand gringos tipping nor why they do it.
And If you think you just can not live with yourself if you do not tip (dumb, dumb), please remember that the chica only gets half, or less, of the price you pay. If you pay c15000 and then give her a c5000 tip, YOU ARE TIPPING ABOUT 66%. Really, really dumb!!!!!!!!!!
Now as for price increases!! I was in almost all of the MPs today and checked on the prices in all that I visited. One has raised their price from c14000 to c18000 and was told they were going up again in 2 weeks. this, Veronicas, is the same MP that has always had a problem with trying to over charge gringos if they thought the guy did not know better. Said the reason was inflation-higher gas cost, food cost, higher rent, etc. Funny thing, IMO the quality of the chicas there was the worst I can remember ever seeing. All other places in the area had much better quality, and at lower prices!!!!
One other that I have reported on recently is Las Gatitas. Has the same owner as New Fantasy. He has always been known for charging gringos a lot more than Ticos. Which makes no since to me since most of his business at NF is gringos. Las Gatitas is not as nice a place nor are the chicas up to the NF standard, yet the gringo price is now c20000 (c22000 at NF). Is in my opinion very over priced compared to NF and other places. BUT, more importantly is the fact that the Tico price is (at both places) c12000. As for as I am concerned this is totally ouT of line and I FOR ONE WILL NOT SESSION AT EITHER PLACE! Believe me i saw many, many quality chicas in almost every place today that are just as good as the ones at Las Gatitas, and I see NO REASON to support this over priced place.
NO other low rent place appeared to have raised their price from what it was before the closures. And this is actually a price reduction for gringos!! At c500 per $1 (2 months ago), c12000 at the Mansion was $24. Today at c550 per $1 that c12000 is about $22.50 8)
:shock:
