Are the maseros getting worse at Hong Kong?

Just back from a 24 hr visit from HK and I feel like the meseros have doubled in number, and in harassment strategies to sell you things.
A mesero saw me looking for my room (something I could do just fine) but tagged along to show me the way for the tip. He then asked I needed viagra (100mg tabs for $20 a pop or 2 for $30). Granted, the ones in the bathrooms are 50mg for $10 but still $$$.
A mesero saw me walking back to my room with a new supply of towels (which I tipped for), and after closing my door, I got a knock saying I might have gotten towels but I needed a robe! I said I did not need a robe and after 3 times, finally got him to leave.
By 9:30 pm the club was so crowded with mongers and maseros that it was difficult to even move about. I found myself stuck behind groups of meseros multiple times just wandering about.
I sat down for a fitcha with a girl and was offered food 3x, lap dances 2x by five different meseros in about an 8 minute period. And this was upstairs (3rd level) where I go to avoid the constant harassment.
Granted, the bar tenders and the shuttle drivers were amazing this trip. But the other 50 guys milling about were annoying and detracted from the overall experience. I know they’re just trying to make a living but I think they’ve gone a bit too far in the quantity. I did find that keeping a drink in my hand at ALL times was a good strategy from getting hounded when I was just hanging by myself.
Got something to say?
