About a year ago, I happened to be sitting at the SL bar and noticed a new face, pretty little young spinner. Talked to her, she was a little timid but willing (I treat the girls well, both at the bar and in the room).
Turns out this was her very first time. A couple of the regulars that she had been sitting with, waved her over to their seats as I was about to take her to my room.
They didn't know I speak Spanish, and I understood they were telling her to hold out for cien, not a colone less. Also told her to collect up front.
On the way to the room, I talked in soft tones to my new friend about how it is often customary to ask for cien, and that it is not going to be the case that cien is actually what comes across. Also explained that it is usual to accept payment after the session. Asked her if she was ok with $60 (we had already negotiated 2 hrs, shower, 2 pops, BBBJ, DATY, DFK, etc.). She said OK shyly.
Had a good session (not great because she was a first-timer with a gringo) and she left happy. I was happy too.
She called me the next day, wanting to do it again. So we did.
We need to get the word out to the newbies.
