Donation Etiquette

I casually place my things on the dresser/counter and put the donation there as well..Less awkward that way. Another good way is to ask to wash your hands and leave it there on the counter as well....

The angry easter egg hunt is funnier as sh.. though

Just smack that donation down on the table first thing!! Originally Posted by **Karla**

As I still consider myself a newbie, this was has been at times the most uncomfortable situation with the first time with a provider. However, I now leave the donation on the night stand, dresser, without discussing it with her, once we have greeted each other and go to the playroom.

I pull out the donation and tip as soon as we finish our Hello kiss. I don't want her worrying about the $ while she should be having fun!

I like to stuff it in my under garment, that way when we get busy she finds it's....lol jk

Exactly right, OldYeller.

And a box of blank cards will go along way. Cards are a naturally good idea in my opinion. (while not necessary, still the niceties you might show any lady friend)

A true gentleman leaves the donation plus tip on the counter or table with descretion without discussing it. Then he excuses himself to freshen up!

agree with everyone that has said something.. i only wish that all the newbies will take heed of what is said here from the veterans of the board and know what they are talking about. ( and the ladies and what they need and expect) alot easier on all and more fun time to play and not worrying.

licks and kisses to all.. oh and HAPPY MONDAY

I always leave it somewhere in the room. That way it becomes something like an angry Easter egg hunt. Originally Posted by JJ

Drty2 -- Would this, then, make it "something like a happy Easter egg hunt"?

Your bad!! I like itcome find out

I leave mine in an unsealed envelope right away. I ensure the lady is aware it is there. I don't care if she wants to count it.
But, if it is a new girl I am seeing, I don't leave the tip with it. That will come after the session, if it was worth it. Then I add the tip near the envelope.
If it is a lady I have seen before, and know what to expect (since i am a repeat customer, I already like the action here...0, then I leave the tip in the envelope from the start. I know I am gonna tip her, so do it right away.

Yep, exactly my feelings.

i like it to be laid out at the beginning of the meeting
pretty interesting thought on tips however.
i always thought tipping was something to be done after any service
i tend to be very generous if tipped. whether i give extra time,or unadvertised services
my way of saying 'thanks'

I'll first look at her web site, and if she has a preference I'll follow it.

If she doesn't say, on a first date I'll put it in an envelope which I attach to a small gift (flowers, a small wrapped box, etc). I will give it to her and then turn away to wash up, hang up my/her coat, etc. giveing her time to look if she wants to. Most do not but it doesn't bother me at all if they do.

For ladies I have seen often I'll sometimes send them the donation in advance so we don't have to worry about it the day of.

I always make agreement on the donation before visiting the lady. After I arrive and she greets me, I look for a table, counter top, or somewhere very easily seen by the lady, and place the donation on it. Then I often ask to use her bathroom to freshen up or a glass of water. About half the time, the donation disappears. This way, I never have to discuss anything I, as likely she, would feel uncomfortable with.

I read somewhere about the origin of the word "tip", as used in this sense: that it was a British abbreviation, originating in the 19th century, for the phrase, "To Insure Promptness (of Service)." If there's any truth to this, then I imagine it would make more sense to offer the incentive before, rather than after, the service.

That said, I've usually tipped afterward, unless I'm with one of my favorites -- I already know her, every past experience has been most enjoyable, and I have every reason to expect another good time. Then I'll usually tip "up front", before the session.
