Tipping Q & A

[Grifter76]

I don't know if this has been answered here before and both Service provider and the hobbyist can Answer.

For the guys do you tip on top of the advertised service rate? If so, by how much? $10, $20? 10%, 15% of the rate ? When do you tip? Before or after the service?like tipping in a restaurant? It's still a service provided right? and i know the girls especially the travelling ones still files their taxes..
When is a tip too much? Or too little?
Do you give tips when the service cost over 300? or only whe it's around $200 to 250?

For the ladies, For sure you'd appreciAte a tip.. but would u rather have it in cash or in kind/gift? what do u prefer? immediately inside the envelopeor after the service provided?

A tip?

I tip people like servers, taxi drivers, baggage guys at airports, bell hops, etc.
People who are likely making minimum wage and depend on tips to make ends meet.
When I've just paid for an hour, what most working stiffs take home after a day or 2, I don't see any need to tip.

 

[Grifter76]

that's one reaction.. so a service provided by an Sp is dfferent from ones at massage parlour who sometimes asks for the tip before the service.. Tipping, gifts, gratuities, whatever u call it.. on their personal websites it exists and they says its appreciated but not required.. but for people who does give, when is a tip too much..

 

[Sixpak]

Hmmmm....do you tip ypur dentist, doctor, or lawyer?
Why not?

 

[Deepstrokes]

The old, tip on top of the tip trick. Back in the day there was a few times where I gave an sp and extra 20-40 if we went over the time limit, or she did a little extra for me.

 

[tom honcho]

Ive done it too if she stays longer or maybe makes certain extra efforts to make it special. But for the most part I'm with JB it's a lucrative deal as is I never feel like they are getting the short end of the stick.... Well they are getting the short end but it's well compensated. Lol.

My tip is loyalty. That is.... I never cancel on the day of the meeting, or whatever. In fact, I have only cancelled twice in 20 years, and that was a week's notice. Extraordinary service does merit rewards, and in my case, I prefer gifts of perfume, or whatever. Even this does not happen often. I should add also that I always bring my own bottle of wine, and not the cheap stuff.

 

[CashDiesel]

I usually tip if I had a good time. I tip $50, after the session. The SP's are always grateful and a lot of them try not to except but I insist. Maybe I'm a sucker but I like to do it.

 

[bowser11]

I like the idea that the loyalty is the tip. I am always a gentleman and usually just see one lady for a long time after I've found the service exceptional. I will also go out of my way to pick them up at the airport or pick up various sundries or food or wine. I have in the past throw all my money at a lady when she kidnapped me for an afternoon. (Figure of speech, never throw money at a lady.) I'm pretty sure I tapped out too and said no mas!

 

[Grifter76]

So you give the tip after the session.. Wouldn't it be better if the tip was included already in the envelope even before the session starts? Extra encouragement for them perhaps!

 

[Boatboy2]

,I have put the tip in the envelope already if I've seen SP before and she is a sweetheart, I've also tipped at the end as I was leaving as the lady was a really good SP I and I very much appreciate what she does , also occasionally will bring a gift for the Lady the tipping though is not that often

No ladies perspective? I'd love to offer a nickel.

My tip is loyalty.

And, in my opinion, this is the absolute best compliment, or "tip" that a business-minded SP can receive! Repeat clients, who can be counted on to keep dates (especially important for ladies who travel) and provide plenty of notice otherwise, are the best gift ever. And, I personally feel that the connection formed as good "working" relationship builds makes the encounters so much more extraordinary...

Extraordinary service does merit rewards, and in my case, I prefer gifts of perfume, or whatever.

And in this case, many SPs have a suggested list of suitable gifts on their websites. An excellent "tipping" option, for a few reasons:
- shows the lady you took the time to read her website and learn about her, and choose a personalized gift.
- adds a delightful surprise to our greeting - we often wow you with sexy lingerie when you open the door lol - and you may get an extra thank you immediately!
- a tangible gift keeps you in the SPs mind - as she uses that gift card, or sips that wine, or enjoys that perfume - and endears us to you a little more....
- expense is variable

So you give the tip after the session..

Unless you're paying your full donation at the end (and many ladies request that this is handled before), this seems awkward. Other ladies may disagree, but in my opinion, I'd find it a little strange to receive more cash (unless, as pointed out, extra services or time were offered and this is necessary) for an "extra good job". I'd like to think your SP puts on her game face for every date, and the wide smile and bounce in your step while you plan your next visit demonstrates your thanks.

Wouldn't it be better if the tip was included already in the envelope even before the session starts? Extra encouragement for them perhaps!

Yes, if tip is in cash, I would think so. In the case where the SP notices as you greet, as above, your session may include that "extra encouragement" lol. If she notices after, she'll have more than just a post-orgasmic smile...

I would caution though (and may get some flack) about cash tips - be careful not to set a precedent that you may feel obligated to follow for future visits. Gifts and "tips" are unexpected extras - fun money, perhaps? - and it's easy to become accustomed to monetary gifts.
For example, if an SP charges 500/2h date, and you've been gifting an additional 50 - a mere 10% tip - for, say, the past three visits, the SP may "budget" for that usual 550, and be disappointed to receive only the contracted rate (not saying that you should feel obligated!) on that fourth date. Then, instead of a fun incentive or show of thanks, tipping has caused an uncomfortable situation.

Because ultimately: No,

...do you tip ypur dentist, doctor, or lawyer?
Why not?

as I expect their operating costs and profit needs to be covered in the rate of service.

But I do send gifts

Just this gals 0.05

EXCELLENT responses by Gabbylauren! Very intelligent feedback.
I do tip at the end of a session when service has been great, especially with agency ladies that are not able to keep the full fee for themselves. I know I may never see the lady again if she is touring but it shows my appreciation. Gabby is correct when she states it can be awkward in a repeat session where the excellent service is not repeated. it would not be good if it became expected the way it is at restaurants. I have seen a few waitresses question patrons about a reduced tip, even stepped in when a senior couple was being harrassed about the small tip given and it was obvious the waitress had not provided good service to all in her section. Dangerous when tips are expected at a certain amount.

 

[Grifter76]

Thank you for the female perspective Gabby.. See!! It's not really a silly question.. tipping exists even though the service isn't the one you regularly receive. Me thinks the girls could be appreciative of tips and gives a little smile on their faces. It doesn't make up for cancelled session (which here in Winnipeg we are notorious for) nor cover the cost of their travel but it if does give a pleasant surprise or a little wider smile on their faces even before ur session starts, wouldn't we receive the better end of that small "tip".

 

[ATM]

I don't think this is an industries that should be tipped. However in the past I have tipped a lady or two because I felt the service was outstanding.

 

[george204]

The only tip I give is the one on my dick.

 

[humper1]

The only tip I give is the one on my dick.

I was gonna say I don't give her the Tip. I give the Whole Damn Thing! Lol

Tips! – Great Topic
For me cash tips are rare, and range from $20-$40 and sometimes $100, and always received at the end of our play time. The $20-$40 tips, usually happen when its been an extremely hot session. The $100 tip only happens around my birthday and Christmas. Its always a surprise for me, and very much appreciated.

I more frequently receive a bottle of wine, plate of fruit, Timms, chocolates .. etc. I open them and offer to share. I’ve actually changed my menu because of this trend, and advertise free flirt & drink time (15-20min) for those who bring goodies.

Another type of tip, rare & extremely hot … a few of you know my fantasies. Every once and a while someone shows up prepared to play one of them out. I’m always very flattered when this happens and feel appreciated and omg, it’s a turn on.. lol

For my regulars, I treat them special with gifts from time to time. If I know about a birthday or special date, I go out of my way to make it a special session. That might be extra time, wine, scotch, fruit or a massage. As well I bring back cigars from Cuba and tequila from Mexico & hand these out.

Everyone likes to feel appreciated … and all it really takes is a sincere “Thank you”
