"Shorting"

Starting this new thread not wanting to hijack another thread...

but how often does shorting* (or attempted shorting) actually occur. I can understand how even if it just happens once it hurts, pisses you off and can cause a loss of trust in dates in general...

but how often (1 in 5? 1 in 10? 1 in 100? 1 in 1000?/order of magnitude) does it actually happen?

EDITED TO ADD: & what kind of short is it? a couple of 20's light? nearly the full amount? etc.

*I'll define shorting as attempting to leave less than the agreed upon donation. This doesn't include haggling or bargaining (which is a whole other thread) and assumes you have given your date his full time as agreed upon.

I've been fortunate...I've had maybe 15 in 5years

I have only been shorted once. It was only by $40.

I've never been shorted, but, if such a rare instance should occur given the discrepancy amount, I'd never see that client again.

Has not happend yet...I've been really lucky so far, most of my gentlemen are really great and awesome people.

I have been shorted about 5 times out of 15 years...usually i will get tipped next time,so it kinda even outs!

What the hell? I thought this was a thread about midget sex and midget porn.

I used to get shorted once a week (1 out of 5). Most often, I would be shorted between 40 and 60 bucks.

Now, I count the money ahead of time.

BTW, I think I might have accidentally shorted a provider by about $20. I counted the donation twice before giving it to her, but after the session was over, I had a $20 that I didn't expect to have with me. Maybe I did; maybe I didn't. I still feel a little guilty if I had actually shorted the young lady.

This is why, as a client, you have to accept that the lady counts the donation in your presence, even though it is kind of a turn off. Guys who do this are just pricks, plain and simple. Geez, if you can't afford it, don't do it!

I got shorted three times, one "I left my wallet in the car" no-pay,and one conterfeit $100 bill before I started collecting/counting(discreetly) before the fun begins. It's been 7 years now, with no problems. H

Its never happened to me...completely. I always count before hand when I am "freshening up" in another room. Once I received an envelope with a 2 hr donation when the booking was for 3 hrs. I came out, set the envelope down, and let the gent know that I had "adjusted our schedule, due to the contents of the envelope". He actually told me that the ATM would not allow him more. That was fine, but he should have said. It came across as dishonesty and I didn't see him again. I normally see regulars anyway, and not one of them has ever tried to do anything rude or untoward like that. Good boys are treated very well!

Tip: Always count up front, alone, and away from the client's view. Its tacky otherwise. You can discreetly take care of business and then get down to fun with no worries.

nina, what would be the best way / proper etiquite for this? offer them a drink and count out of sight? any ideas would be helpful!

I just found out I had shorted a provider a few weeks ago. I am going to contact her to cover what I had missed. As a hobbyist, I feel horrible I did this. It explains why she never gave me an OK from P411.
