Frankie, I think I feel where your coming from here? But I have to disagree with your assessment of GR's post. Stongly as a matter of fact. I for one have thought generally the same "well why dont you just go Phuck yourself feeling" many times.
In all fairness, GR prefaced his "Rant" with advocating the adherance to an honorable code of ethics in dealing with the chicas.
I for one thought his observations were pretty much a bullseye take on the emotions WE repeatedly and predictably must endure when dealing with the PUT*S.
Maybe a different set of words other than Go Phuck Yourself is appropriate, but I am sure GR was somewhat tongue in cheek with the proposed reply to the irratating behaviors.
I am not trying to speak for GR here, But.... I am in concurrence with his underlying theme here...Which is:
Call the Put*s on this "Shit for Service" mentality.... it is a buyers market, If they feel a little more pinch in the pocket book by losing out business, maybe a more Customer Friendly Ethos may become the norm

,,,, like in some of the other venues outside of CR..
I'm with GR here,, we cant change the unpleasantries unless we utilize the only bargaining chip we possess.......Which is $$$$$$$$That said, I see the GR code is something that us monger types should see as a bill of OUR rights.
As usual, YMMV, and as you stated, apparently does.
Frankie , your enviable state of being in country and having a better grip on communicating with the chicas than most of us visiting mongers is differant than the norm. I assume you most likely have less incidences of bad Pu*a behaviors than the majority of us extraneros??? Just guessing, I guess?

Yes, "Go Phuck Yourself" was meant slightly tongue-in-cheek, and for the record, just let me say that I've never literally said that to ANY woman in my entire life. Perhaps a 'kinder and gentler' - but firm - "Just Say No" would be the preferred response?
But I did want to get my point across, and BarachitoBombero pretty much nails my intent perfectly. And note that none of these "rules" should apply strictly to Costa Rica, but if people interpret them that way, I guess that just shows the extent to which we've come to take this stuff for granted there.
I mean, when a ZB chica insists on a tip and then is
actively disappointed when you give her anything less than a $20 for a $42 service, I gotta say there's something wrong with this picture. And I hold myself as responsible for creating that sort of attitude as anyone else.
So yes, like BB says, it's time to remember WE'RE the ones holding the cards here, and when the chicas forget that, as Mucho Gusto always says - "NEXT".
