I've never had a dinner date with a provider, but have one scheduled. I was wondering about the proper etiquette for the donation. We're arriving separately, so it seems risky from my point of view to give it to her before we're back at my hotel. However, I don't want it to ruin our time together if she's expecting it right away. It's also a bit of a mood killer to have to discuss it with her.
Is there an accepted standard operating procedure for this or should I just try to read the situation and adapt?
