#because like the estheticians can do massages but obviously when you schedule a massage you're assuming you're getting an lmt

I love it when my job adds specialties that we have to do but they don't explain to us what they are or how to explain to clients the difference between services
#so i get to sound like an idiot when people ask me questions#like i don't do deep tissue massages so they added this specialty that's called 'rehab/medical massage' that i technically do#but they really only added that so that even though i don't do deep tissue they can put people on my schedule that want a deep tissue#and because we have people doing massage that didn't go to school specifically for massage it weeds them out#but i can't really tell a client 'yeah this is just a massage so that the company gets paid more and you get a licensed massage therapist'#because like the estheticians can do massages but obviously when you schedule a massage you're assuming you're getting an lmt#i fucking hate the spa world#they also told us recently to stop using hot packs unless they pay $10 but they've been free for like 12 years so we have a lot of regulars#that have been using them since they started coming and i'm not going to tell some old lady that she has to pay $10 for something that was#free since the place opened#and i'm absolutely not going to ruin the middle of someone's massage by asking them if they want a $10 add on#the exact opposite of relaxing lmao#so now i just don't even mention anything about the fucking hot packs#pretty sure the owner just thought 'well most people say yes to the free hot packs so they'll pay if asked'#but like bitch i'm just not going to ask now lmao#and i'm sure they expect us to want to do add ons because we get a cut but they underestimate how much i do not fucking care#someday i really just need to finally quit
