The Kingsway Spa 2.0

This past spring I "bumped into" a former Kingsway Spa gal at COSTCO.

Long story short, she told me behind the scenes, it was a very toxic environment for new girls. She said there's a clique of 3 to 4 women who are absolutely viscous towards the new hires . Basically a condoned environment of bullying.

Allegedly, Jamie turns a blind eye to it b/c the bully's are her friends , and more importantly, the existing business model makes lots of money.

I shrugged it off as as just a disgruntled former employee.....BUT it is interesting to me that this past year, no one new sticks around.

Hello

I always find it necessary to respond to comments like these when I'm able to catch them. Unfortunately, I do miss the occasional drag but I do the best I can.

There is only 1 former Kingsway gal who would have not only been at Costco but also who would speak to a client of ours in public. Most of my staff would rarely shop at any Costco location. They would also be very careful to keep not only their identity private but also those of our clientele so I'm aware of who you are speaking.

I'll assure you there is no "clique" here and if anyone could have been accused of treating new staff poorly, it would have been this person. You can ask Sammi, Nova, Sophie, Liza... there's been many. The only time I turned a blind eye was WITH HER so its pretty insulting this would come from her at all.

I promise you. I've NEVER had anyone leave who hasn't asked to come back. I dont tolerate bullies. The staff I have I would never say anything but absolutely glowing things about. They are an incredible group of women. I'm nothing without them. Every once and a while, there is a snake and I'm sorry I choose to see the good in people first but ANYONE who would approach you in public to make a point of speaking negatively about us instead of just talking about their life is a problem. I hope you see that.

New staff don't always work out for a variety of reasons that has nothing to do with me or us. This job isn't as easy as you might all think. Its hard and it's not for everyone

This sounds like an episode of a reality show. This is business.

Thanks

Thanks for clarifying.

I guess we both know who we're talking about - LOL

She mentioned that the CRA was questioning her status as self employed vs. an employee at Kingsway b/c she filed for UE after her "dismissal"....maybe that's the reason for her beef.

That said, she did mention a certain "something" that seemed utterly convincing to me - I'm sure you know what she's talking about.

Jeez you two. Take the secret squirrel stuff into DM. The rest of us don't care.

Regardless of the authenticity of the original post, this part gave me a chuckle .....

Costco Canada has over 11 Million members , there are 29 Million Canadians over the age of 20.

It's a pretty safe bet that there's more than 1 former Kingsway gal who's been to Costco.

Lol

Ok so I have to chirp in on this,I’m a long term member and don’t often comment,more of a lurker I guess so let the flames begin as this time I can’t hold myself back.
Firstly the Kingsway threads are almost like a “chat room “ for three or four people not giving reviews just chatting which I guess is ok .
I’ve been going to Kingsway since it opened usually twice to three times a month,I’ve seen most of the ladies there and have connected with them all.
Every attendant there obviously has their own personality,some last longer than others as Jamie said it’s not for all ,with four shifts averaging 5 a shift that’s 20 per week or 80 per month that these ladies connect with (intimately) with them all and make us the clients feel special and like a king,no matter what the personality of the client is,even if the guys a goof,it’s physically hard and mentally harder and some clients understandably form an attachment to the attendant forgetting it’s just “paid for entertainment “ which makes is even harder (for both parties ) it takes a special person to be able to do that job let alone it affecting their personal lives.
My experience has never ever sensed any negativity at all ,Jamie runs a first class operation and sure she has her group of ladies that have been there since the beginning or shortly after that have their own talents and have developed regulars and are probably busier than the new girls but that is the way it is and some new girls don’t understand that.
I really don’t think it’s toxic and we the clients have to realize (probably most do but not all) how lucky we are to have this place and me for one can’t wait to go back again.
End of rant my apologies to all who read it .

I wish more people would review but not all clients are terb members. It’s actually probably a very small percentage

Oh. I was mistaken but my feelings are the same and it's a good thing to keep in mind as you move through life. Anyone who would feel its appropriate to bash their ex-coworkers and boss to a complete stranger is usually the problem. Maybe this person didnt like having things said right out in the open for everyone to hear but prefers spreading gossip around to anyone who will listen. This is my definition of a bully but opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one.

If the CRA is upset about something then maybe she shouldn't be trying to collect EI as an independent contractor. That's kind of silly.

I love to know random facts as well but what i know even more than useless information is about my staff. I know most of them dont have a costco membership or share their number to buy off UberEats. I know how they react to seeing clients in public and where they live so where they would go shopping. I know which ones current or former would make a point of speaking to a client in public to cry about why they arent there any longer, the bullies or how they want to scam tax payers.

We're a small group and I'm there 6 days a week. Its not hard to know.

Ok - time to get this thread back on track with a "blast from the past"

I miss Brooke ....she was really, really cute, had a naughty imagination which provided unique conversation, and had an awesome bum for a most enjoyable reverse massage play time.

Another cute shorty!

Hey Guys,

looking to find out if the girls at the spa offer any extras or if it’s strictly a hj finish . Message me If you’d prefer to pm.

Just had an amazing session with Alex today. From start to finish she was incredible. Great personality and easy to talk to, super sexy and stunningly beautiful, and her tease and finish are spectacular. Highly recommend.

New girl starting tomorrow
