I was recently in HK (review to come soon) and honestly I don't know what the big fuss is about the meseros. They come around with their little tray menu thing asking if u want food, you say no thanks and they go away. They say you want a table/drink when you walk in, you say no thanks I'm walking around and they go away.
Sure the main annoying thing they do is pick up the girls bottle when there is still a bit left in it and try to get another drink sold, but at that point you should know if you want to keep the ficha party going for a bit longer or if it's over one way or another (going your separate ways or going together to a room). And I've never experienced or seen them try to stop a high mileage ficha dance and force the PL to pay the $25 or whatever for a private lapdance. So yeah I don't see them as half bad, maybe yall can share your bad experiences with them.
