Can City Hall help?

[smallfeetz]

"Complaint to City Hall
... I would file a complaint over an incident such as this one with Amy both at New Age and at Broadway.
... In this case I'm sorry, but Amy so humiliated me as I walked out and I felt so bad afterwards, I have no choice but to file an official complaint against Broadway Bodycare with the License Dept. at Vancouver City Hall.
... I'll be filing the complaint on Monday before I leave for hopefully a better experience in Edmonton Wednesday.
... I will be requesting suspension of Broadway Bodycare's license. I apologize to the girls working there, but I feel some action has to be taken here. This abuse towards clients won't be tolerated anymore."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I could see the City being concerned about unsanitary conditions, illegal workers, dangerous massage practices, unsafe building conditions, unpaid taxes, theft from customers, violence or physical threats, etc.

But is it realistic to think that they would give a rat's derriere about a mild degree of non-profane sarcasm on the part of an employee towards a (non)customer? Rudeness is not illegal. The corrective mechanism here is the workings of the marketplace, not governmental regulation.

Please don't embarrass yourself by filing a frivolous and unrealistic complaint.
If you really want to do that, at least familiarize yourself with the terms and condition of their license to see if they have violated any regulations. I strongly doubt that they have.

WTF?

You can't "request" a business liscence get suspended on the grounds an employee humiliated you, whoever you are! (Who is it Herb?) I think you would be better off going to the police, then when they laugh and humiliate you, you can file 2 complaints with city hall. FYI, walking into city hall and saying "a sex trade worker at a local parlor humiliated me" will make you sound so silly that it is almost worth it to encourage you. Besides, is humiliation abuse? I think you decided to feel humiliated instead of chagrined! What did you expect, if you are a non-customer she had no reason to be nice. Life is full of little upsets, but causing a bunch of employees to lose their job far outweighs a little "abuse" from one employee. Complain to Bodycare management if you wish, they are the only ones who might give a shit! The rest of us will just call you a rat.

For the record, this type of person is the type that all working girls fear, the type that feels wronged when people don't kiss his/her ass and will seek an underhanded retribution. Be it informing the landlord, complaining to the liscensing department or bad mouthing us in public forums, they are the spoilsports who ruin it for everyone.

Beware girls/agencies in Edmonton, watch your back!

this guy sounds like a total loser.... imagine going to city hall and telling them a MP was "rude" to you.... you'd think he'd want to keep his little visits private, not to mention his hurt feelings about his visit.... and then thinking he'll be able to pull their license . . . what a little creep.

Curious if that rant would apply to any other business. If when deciding to leave a restaurant & telling the hostess that it's not what you had in mind, would you complain about their licensing to city hall when she didn't seem to give a sh!t?


.....lucky Edmonton.

I think it's clear that Massagegirl fully understood that it wasn't me.
She's a smart lady, as well as being the voice of reason.
And I bet she can beat me at Freecell, too.

Geez... a hooker being rude?

I thought I'd never see the day!

My amazement isn't so much that the dude actually said he was going to complain to city hall that this woman was rude to him, but that he actually made a post that wasn't a broad request for information, without any reciprocation. I'd actually like to see him follow up on his threat. If he felt humiliated when the MP manager was 'rude' to him, just imagine how much of a loser he's gonna feel like when he goes to City Hall. If he'd only tell us when he was planning on going down there, I'll book off work to be there to watch. It'll be better than going to a show.

I have walked out on lots of Massage parlours when the line up wasn't good. And old Mrs. Lee at Cheery Massage parlour banned me from comming back because I said all her girls were old cows. I mean so what. Grow up and get a life. Your paying women to have sex with, not engage in meaningfull comitment. Massage girl is right, I had a tenant like you who called the city when I evicted her. And guys like that have no life at all.

Quite right Alexis, I knew it wasn't Herb. I tried to throw in that "whoever you are" thing to clear it up but I kept saying "you" after that which was confused with Herb.

Thanks for the link myrmidon, I never saw that post. I have seen Vanboy0's posts before and he never seemed like a jerk so maybe he was just blowing off a little steam, and by Monday will have forgotten alllll about it....

Vanboy0, if it was an AMP, I will suggest that it may be rude in some cultures to come in for a look-see and not stay? I imagine a lot of lookie-loos probably come through in one night and not stay either, which would be frustrating. In any case, this Amy obviously took her frustrations out on you so don't take it personal, and please don't draw attention to the rest of us!

Unless you want to sell front row tickets to your visit to City Hall, that is??? We can start the bidding?
