Bikubiku Circle Gotanda: Four Price Ladders, Every One Shaped Like a U — and Nine August Receipts That Match None of Them
Bikubiku Circle Gotanda advertises itself as the cheapest delivery health shop in Gotanda and publishes four separate price ladders to prove it. All four are U-shaped — the longest course is always the worst value per minute, in every list, without exception, and the sweet spot is always 90 to 95 minutes. Then I pulled nine customer receipts from August 2026 and not one of them matches any published number. A verified first-time customer paid 52% above the headline rate. The gap has a name the shop never prints.
