Shorted...I think....

Regardless if you've seen a fellow one time or twenty times get your donation first, count it discreetly and hide it! Once the business part is out of the way and it's correct that wont be on your mind during the encounter. I've heard of regulars pulling this crap and when the lady counts the donation after he leaves then tries to call him about it, he conveniently "disappears". It's unfortunate but it happens.

And taking the high road is a trait that makes you a notch above so many of both sexes here. This is why you get my recommendation. (Okay, your BCD skills didn't hurt.)

I agree, naming him & adding drama to this thread will not be helpful to you. I think Chica was just trying to get some drama so he could give some points out or maybe even give someone a vacation. He get's bored easy. Originally Posted by tigercat

I guess im not a normal type client....Ive never worried about $20 here or there and I usually book 2hr or more appointments and lots of time we sit and BS with each other for 30 mins or longer and I dont worry about the time that much and in return I dont want a clock watcher .
If you cant afford $20 and want to try to screw the provider out of her money you dont need to be in the hobby ! plain and simple.
If you go play golf and the green fees and cart fees are clearly marked you dont haggle with the golf pro or leave less money.
Its like any hobby you play be it fishing, hunting, or anything ..you do it for enjoyment !
So why complicate things and create havoc by shorting someone $20 dollars !!

All it does is upset the provider and ruin it for everybody else behind you.
I cant get over how cheap some guys can be. Originally Posted by wildwooly1

This is the point when our communication became very clear, to me and the people on the floor above and below us. She wanted her 20$ and she got it.

I hope everything works out for you hanna
Well I know your not supposed to talk price ever....but if you have a doubt about what to pay there are ways to ask without discussing prices...just simply ask ..what site are your prices accurate on and what applies to me.
But yes if you are haggling over a 20 dollar bill this hobby may not be for you ..just saying if your worried about that amount of money should you be hobbling at all?
It's just like gambling or any other hobby. If you can't afford to loose it you might consider finding something else to do..
I wasn't picking any one person out on this when I said it but it boils down to communication and then doing the right thing and if your haggling over dollars it just doesn't make sense to me to be doing it at all if that amount is gonna hurt you.
This guy..I wasn't pulling you out of the pack and I understand where your coming from..even now I see an ATF all the time and I have still yet to know exactly what her hourly rate is because it's different on three or four sites and it does make it confusing.
A lot of ladies get pissed if we don't leave the right amount so I've gotten to where before I leave and our deed is done and I know she's not a police woman I ask her if her donation was correct and if she hasn't looked yet she usually looks and will say yes and thanks for the little extra or everything is okay.
If I err I usually err on the up side and usually you can't go wrong.

no problem ww1.
have a great weekend
He owed you for the hr. He took advantage of the fact that you thought he was a stand up guy. I use the stopwatch feature on my watch, set it for the time i reserved, and leave when it goes off, if we're done before that, i still pay for the time i RESERVED, not time actually spent.
