Ria, did they not tell you how much you would be charging/earning when you contacted them to arrange things? I agree that it's shit compared with what most of us are used to, but it's pretty common knowledge that the Sheffield parlours have rock bottom rates which is why I wouldn't want to work in one - if others feel differently then obviously that's up to them.
What I mean is, were you lied to or misled by the people who run the place (disregarding the shill posts above)?
