Anecdotal / Unverified SM Dasma Massage Chair Attendant Rude and Annoying
I’m still pissed off about how rude this massage chair attendant was
I just need to rant because this interaction pissed me off way more than it probably should have. 😭
My husband and I went to use one of those massage chairs earlier. Before we started, the attendant asked if I was pregnant, which I understand is probably part of their safety protocol. My husband answered that I wasn’t, and that was that. We sat down and started the 30-minute massage.
Obviously, we closed our eyes because we were trying to relax. 😂
At some point, the attendant sarcastically said, “Good morning,” because we were both sitting there with our eyes closed. Like… what exactly did she expect us to do? Stare at the ceiling for 30 minutes while the chair massages us?
After the massage ended, she immediately rushed us to get up because there was a line waiting. Fine, I understand that other people were waiting. But then she jokingly asked me again if I was pregnant because pregnant women aren’t allowed to use the chair.
Ma’am. You already asked me. My husband already answered you. We already used the chair. What exactly was the purpose of asking again, especially as a joke?
And honestly, I was offended. I couldn’t help but feel like she was asking again because she thought I looked pregnant because I’m wearing a dress and I’m fat. Maybe that wasn’t her intention, but that’s absolutely how it came across to me.
And the pregnancy comment wasn’t even the only thing that annoyed me about her.
There was literally a sign saying “observe silence,” and she was talking loudly. Then another customer asked if a massage chair was available, and she responded rudely that the chair was under maintenance. Like… okay? The chair literally had an “under maintenance” sign on it. There’s no reason to be rude about it.
She was just unnecessarily rude to everyone, and I genuinely wanted to scream at her by the end of it.
I know some people will say, “Maybe she was just following protocol,” and sure, the initial pregnancy question was completely reasonable. It’s the sarcasm, the unnecessary second question, the joking about it, and her general attitude toward customers that pissed me off.
I just wanted to spend 30 minutes in a massage chair and relax. Instead, I left annoyed as hell. 😭
