Since COVID19 came to town there have been several changes in my massage clinic. Of course masks are required, but it's the other little things that I have in place that sometimes gets overlooked, forgotten, or some are just unaware...sometimes it is the fault of the therapist.
My long time client was here for his weekly massage and he casually asked me why I had a large tub in my treatment room and was I offering new services.
Me: Um, you mean the BIG TURQUOISE TUB that has been in my floor since May? The one clients are SUPPOSED to put their clothes and belongings in? THAT tub? (laughing the whole time)
Client: WHAT? I don't remember you telling me that. I SWEAR! Why didn't you say anything?
(Both laughing now)
Me: Well I figured you were like 99 percent of the folks that come in here. You either didn't listen to my directions or you are so used to coming in here and throwing your stuff in the chair that you are on autopilot. I just spray and wipe the chair and TUB down before each client.
FAST FORWARD ONE WEEK
I enter the treatment room and he has put his clothes in the BIG TURQUOISE TUB.
Me: OH MY GOD YOU USED THE TUB!
Client: Yes, I did and now I have some thoughts. This tub will not hold winter clothes. You need a bigger BIG TUB.
