在上海逛累了，去足浴店按个脚是非常舒服的体验。但如果是第一次去，很容易被各种套餐和推销搞晕。分享三个避坑经验：
After a tiring day of shopping in Shanghai, getting a foot massage is a very comfortable experience. But if it’s your first time, it’s easy to get dizzy from various packages and sales pitches. Here are three tips to avoid pitfalls:
1. 认清“足浴”和“SPA”的区别 (Distinguish between “Foot Bath” and “SPA”)
街边写着“XX足道”、“XX修脚”的店，通常是非常正规的纯按脚、修脚店，价格透明（一百块左右），大爷大妈也会去。
Shops with signs like “XX Foot Massage” or “XX Pedicure” on the street are usually very legitimate pure foot massage and pedicure shops with transparent prices (around one hundred RMB), and even elderly people go there.
如果招牌写着“高端会所”、“男士SPA”，且灯光极其昏暗，价格极高，那可能就不是纯粹按脚的地方了，老外一定要注意甄别。
If the sign says “High-end Club” or “Men’s SPA”, the lighting is extremely dim, and the price is very high, it might not be a place for purely foot massages. Foreigners must be careful to distinguish.
2. 坚决拒绝“加钟”和“办卡” (Firmly refuse “extending time” and “buying memberships”)
按脚的过程中，技师大概率会一直推销：“先生，加个钟吧，再给你按个背”或者“充一千块办张卡，今天免单”。
During the foot massage, the therapist will highly likely keep pitching: “Sir, extend the time and I’ll massage your back too,” or “Recharge 1000 RMB for a membership, today is free.”
如果你只是想体验一下，一定要坚定地说：“不用了，我就按基础的”。不要觉得不好意思，直接拒绝是保护钱包的最好方式。
If you just want to experience it, be sure to firmly say: “No need, I’ll just do the basic one.” Don’t feel embarrassed; direct refusal is the best way to protect your wallet.
3. 注意衣服口袋里的贵重物品 (Watch out for valuables in your pockets)
正规足浴店都提供带锁的储物柜和宽松的客服。在换衣服时，务必将手机、钱包、护照等贵重物品锁进柜子里，不要随手放在按摩椅旁边，以免遗失。
Legitimate foot massage shops provide locked lockers and loose clothing. When changing clothes, be sure to lock valuables like phones, wallets, and passports in the locker. Don’t just leave them next to the massage chair to avoid losing them.
