The thrill is gone. Called in and requested a 'strong' masseuse from the manager, and I got a seemingly inexperienced and weak-handed masseuse who spent more time wiping off my feet with a towel than actually rubbing them. The worst part was he finished the hour with a few strong motions that confirmed that he might have been sandbagging the entire time. He also wore rubber gloves during the foot massage portion which felt incredibly weird and uncomfortably "medical". Way too much lotion / massage oil as well - a common indicator of an subpar masseuse.
I do realize that a foot spa experience is mostly about who you get to work on you. My preferred people here at Lazy Sunday are no longer here, and if this is the best that the manager can conjure up (having been familiar with my past preferences), I will stick with the other foot spa I frequent.
