I have never given a gift and very rarely tip. A couple times I have been pressured to give a tip and have caved. I set a limit for myself on how much I can justify spending on this stuff. Could I spend more sure, can I justify it no.Bulletproof post. Excellent.
So its simple for me. If I like seeing a provider then she will make alot of money off me in the future because I usually only see one provider until things go south. So no need for a tip. If I don't like her no need to tip. And iI will be damned if I go over my budget and not be able to hobby as much as i want because I am giving out tips.
Did someone really post that he is of the theory that we are paying providers for their time and not their activities? Originally Posted by brianjackson
