They tend to pay the cheapest entry so they are able to give more tips. The counter usually also won’t hardsell them because of non-peak hours (e.g 9am).
But because of the additional tips, it will cause a snowball effect. Making ML think that we are willing to pay such high prices.

Oh this is true about the old uncles/retirees. I go to one clean massage place for foot reflexology weekly. Always see this one uncle come find one masseuse all the time. And not even to massage...it is to give her food and money. It is quite funny and a little sad, see the girl always brush him off, and try chase him away so as not to be seen together. But of course, she will take the money haha.
