I recently came across an enticing Facebook ad for Iconique Gateway, a beauty spa offering a basic facial for PHP 500. Attracted by the promotion, I decided to give it a try and booked an appointment.
Eager to make the most of my day, I arrived an hour early, only to find two other women in their 60s waiting to be serviced. Despite their earlier appointments, they had been waiting for a significant time, a situation that foreshadowed my own experience.
