由 admin My Wild Goose Chase for the No. 9 Mansion KTV Prices
Alright, so let me tell you about this whole saga with the No. 9 Mansion KTV price list. I was trying to set something up, you know, a get-together with some old pals, and thought, “Hey, No. 9 Mansion, sounds kinda fancy, let’s check it out.” Big mistake. Trying to get actual numbers from them was like pulling teeth, seriously.
First thing I did, naturally, was hop online. I figured, in this day and age, they’d have a menu or a price guide somewhere on their website, right? Wrong. Searched their official page, if you can even call it that. Found a bunch of flashy photos, sure, lots of empty promises of a good time, but absolutely zero, and I mean NADA, on what anything actually costs. It’s like they expect you to just show up with a blank check or something. Super frustrating from the get-go.
So, plan B: I decided to give ’em a call. Thought, okay, maybe they’re just old school, prefer to tell you over the phone. The person who answered sounded like I’d just woken them up from a nap or interrupted the most important meeting of their life. I asked politely, “Hi, could I get some information on your KTV room rates or package deals?” And the answer? “Oh, for detailed pricing, you need to come in and speak with our manager.” Come in? Just to see a price list? Are we living in the stone age? I just wanted a ballpark figure, not a high-pressure sales pitch in person! I told them I just needed a general idea to see if it fit our budget, but they wouldn’t budge. So unhelpful.
At this point, I was getting pretty annoyed. I even put out some feelers, you know, texted a few mates to see if anyone had been there recently and remembered anything about the costs. Here’s the kind of gold I got back:
- One friend said, “Yeah, went there last year. Got absolutely stung. Couldn’t tell you the exact prices for rooms though, it was all a blur of ‘service fees’ and ‘minimum spend’ nonsense on the final bill.”
- Another just laughed and replied, “Good luck with that! They guard those prices like it’s the gold in Fort Knox. You’ll probably only find out when the bill hits your table.”
- And a third mate swore they saw different prices on different menus on the same night once, depending on who was asking! Can you believe that?
Honestly, it felt like trying to solve a national conspiracy, not just find out how much it costs to sing karaoke for a few hours. Why all the damn secrecy? It just makes you deeply suspicious, doesn’t it? If your prices are fair and square, just put them out there for people to see! This whole ridiculous experience reminded me of the time I tried to get a clear answer from my old cable company about why my bill kept changing every month. Hours on the phone, transferred between departments, and still no straight answer. It’s that same vibe of them deliberately making things murky.
Why am I even bothering to share this whole frustrating ordeal? Because it’s just plain ridiculous, and maybe, just maybe, it’ll save someone else the headache and the runaround. If a place can’t be upfront and transparent about what they charge, I’m immediately turned off. We ended up ditching the whole No. 9 Mansion idea and went to “Sing a Song Karaoke” just down the street. You know what? Their prices were on a big, clear board right by the entrance. Simple. Easy. No games. That’s how it should be. So much for No. 9 Mansion and their top-secret, apparently mythical, price list.
