You missed the point, john. The point is how bad service is being rewarded. Case in point is the Coach. She has been a frequent topic on this forum for at least the past three years, and most of what has been written has been unfavourable. However, despite her poor service--attitude and even technique--she remains in business in this city. Indeed, she has expanded in that for at least the last year, she has had 1 or 2 others working out of her place, whom she surely gets a cut from. The question that I and many others wonder is if the expectation level in this city for MPs is so low that someone like the Coach can do well here. For those who don't know, the Coach could not make a go of it in Vancouver. Her crap service was readily seen--just as it was here--but there the johns stayed away from her in droves, hence the reason she relocated west of the Rockies. Sadly, the Coach is one of several really bad MPs in Cowtown, yet all of these baddies seem to hang on here and do commerically well. That tells me that the johns of Calgary do not set the bar very high for good service. They don't expect much but they are willing to pay through the nose for it. As such, the city has become a magnet for bad providers. They know they can offer crap service and get paid well for it and maintain a steady stream of business to make operating here viable. A lot of the bad providers from other parts of Canada flock here for the easy money and the low customer expectations.
