Spa Etiquette

Spa Etiquette

Today I was able to get a massage at a local day spa.  It was wonderful.  It was so nice to be pampered a little bit.  The masseuse spoke in such a calm quiet voice that at times I had a hard time hearing what she said.  As always the massage was over all to fast.  At what I thought was the end of the massage she placed cool things (I am not sure what they were) over my eyes and I think she said “Just lay here a while” and I heard her walk out the door and close the door behind her.  So I did just that.  I laid there a while.  I am not sure exactly how long, but after a while I thought that it had been an awfully long time.  Was she going to come back?  I know that the massuese leaves the room so you can get your robe when your time is up, but if it was over I thought she would have said something  like, “Thank you for coming…you can get dressed and use the imminties…have a good day.”  So I laid there a little longer.  She still did not come back.  I decided I had waited long enough and I was ready to go.  I walked out of the room and that was that.   I looked at the clock once I got to the changing area and I realized that I had been laying there for 30 minutes!  Knowing that I laid there that long I am assuming that the massage was over.

So, do you think the massage was over or should I have waited until she came back?
