I had a pedicure today

Wow.

I went to the new place in town. It’s very pretty. It’s very pricey, and well, just “wow”.

I told her I just wanted a “basic” pedicure. “nothing fancy” I said.

So she sits me in 1 of 12 fancy pedicure/massage chairs. (I was mentally calculating how much it must have cost to outfit this place) Turns it on, and goes to work. After a few minutes of this chair, I turned it off. I couldn’t take it. It felt like it was going to leave bruises. It was massaging everything. Even the seat was massaging.

C’mon now. who really wants their happy place massaged while they’re in the nail salon? Anyone?

So, she’d notice it was off, and turn it back on. I’d turn it off. Repeat.

I should have told her “me no likey”.

Once she figured out I really didn’t like it, she said “how come you no want a deluxe pedicure?”. I said “I didn’t bring enough money.”.(I blame everything on money) “Oh, I understand.”

A bit of silent work time goes by, and she says “You want your eyebrow done?”. I said “No, I’m good.”

She says “We take credit card. and check.”

So, I asked her if business had been slow. She told me it has. It’s sad, they have to try and “Upsell” at the nail salon too.

I wanna know one thing though. How come these girls in the nail salons are always so cute and tiny?
