To tip or not to tip that is the question?

I say if thier late then he should be happy you seen him if this is the case. I love tips but there not expected {"necessary" bc i dont ask} their just very appreciated. And alway clean up thats a must

I feel the same way alessia....i dont ask for tips but they are always appreciated.

Tippers usually get called white-knights if they are bold enough to promote the practice openly in the forum. This usually by the selfish bastards who know they should tip but delight in seeing how much they can squeeze out of ladies. To justify their choice not to tip, they usually make an argument similar to "well, I wouldn't tip my lawyer." So, you'll hear all kinds of responses to your thread.

In the end, it's personal choice. I tip unless a lady has made no conscious effort at all. If she's made an effort at both TCB (if not, I don't proceed any further anyway) and BCD to provide a reasonable service, I tip.

How do I feel about a provider mentioning it? That seems inappropriate. Since all ladies claim, "tips are always appreciated but never expected" then it would naturally seem wrong to mention it. I would never withdraw a tip already offered but if it were mentioned at all, I would never return to see that lady again.

Great post. All the best.

OK, I'm gonna come off like a real ass hole here. BUT.... My attorney doesn't expect a tip. My accountant doesn't expect a tip. Providers charge more per hour than my attorney and my accountant COMBINED.

A nice tip is scheduling a return visit before the appt is over, besides that i don't expect a tip I make sure that my overhead costs are covered by my original donation.

Couldn't agree with you more, HID. With all the GPPS Providers out there nowadays, I choose very carefully with whom I spend my hobby funds. Now, when I see a $$$ or $$$+/hr Provider suggesting tipping ... ALL I really see is a needy lady whom I rapidly take off the To Do List.

Just my .02,

I agree MM 100% The word " GOLDDIGGER " comes to mind.


I am boycotting all providers over $$

Muffy: Thanks for covering my back.

Ladies: I'm just curious how often you give discounts. Personally, to date I've never taken a discount. But if $$5-$$$ per hour deserves a tip for expected services, how much of a discount does a second visit rate? Or how many visits does it take to rate a discount? Are we making an argument for upselling here?

Have I tipped? Hell yeah. But only when I've gone way over the "hour" or when a lady had to make a special effort to see me. Would I see a gal that expected a tip? I believe I've already answered that question.

PS You must be kidding me that the "clean up" ranks for an upsell... I mean tip. If you want to perform like street, expect to be paid like street; expect street clients. I have always supported a lady charging whatever she feels is appropriate. But you're shitting me if for $$$ per hour a tip is appropriate for getting a warm wash clothe.

JD I would consider the handful of clients that tip on a reg basis my "white knights" lol. I think of a tip as a gift sort of a gift because I dont upsell. Everyone knows women love gifts . I agree with skyler on making sure that my overhead costs are covered by my original donation. I definitely don't think anything negative of a client not tipping me. I don't believe "clean up" would be considered a up sell. Its just a example of doing everything possible to make sure that your client is comfortable and pampered ((which is something that I always practice during sessions)). I don't think you sound like a ass horn dog. I agree As far as tipping lawyers, Drs, ect goes I KNOW I WOULDNT unless they gave me the best "O" of my life and a warm wash clothe. hehe.

Any lady at $$$/hr or higher is a HELL NO on tipping! First of all is I bring exact money and never bring my wallet with me to a session. Granted a tip for the lady is when I schedule to make another appointment when the time comes.

lol im sure shorty!

I think that tipping is a great thing, I do not expect to get a tip nor do I ask for them, have I ever wanted one because I felt I deserved it, Well yes... I am a girl and I love men, money and sex...( AND NICE THINGS ) hehe. =)

Tips my ass, as a retired airline pilot I never was offered a tip nor would I have accepted one, you get paid for doing your job. I had your life in my hands and got you to your destination safely, do the best job you can for the advertised price, JR

I would not tip the first visit. If I stayed the full hour the first time then went back for a second session I would prob bring a tip.
