If I'm a verified ECCIE gent and you count the money in front of me, I'm snatching it out of your hands, giving you a $50 for your time, and leaving. If you don't trust the gent you are seeing then you are not doing a very good job of verification. And if a verified ECCIE gent (or P411 for that matter) cheats you then you will be able to ruin his future by putting him on blast. Blatant disrespect from the provider counting in front of him.

It is common practice for incalls, when you leave the patronage on the table and excuse yourself to freshen up, we count the patronage.

It is common practice for outcalls, that the patronage is left on the bathroom counter and when we excuse ourselves to freshen up, we count it there. What I'm basically indicating is make it easy on us to verify the full patronage is there so we aren't shorted or given counterfeit money.
Also, I've had verified P411 clients shorten the patronage. I choose to believe that it was on accident as every single one has remedied the mistake expeditiously. It's not uncouth to let the client know that something is amiss but I do find it uncouth to count the rate in front of the client.
