I have to agree - 130 posts in I was hoping to read some unique insights by now. All that has been said thus far is all common sense Dr. Phil type fluff. What's next? "If you want better service, be a big tipper".
Well to be honest I have been refraining from posting. Seems to create to much drama and controversy me being a shill, leach, illiterate and just trying to get attention as previous posters have stated. Not trying to be a baby or suck, just not sure if any good would come of it.
As for the tipping, well my wife does not ask for or expect any tips for her service. She enjoys what she does and likes to make other people happy satisfied and comfortable. But she is a person. Some forget that there is a person behind the service with feeling like everyone else and she takes her emotions into a session. She does get emotional attached to clients and relate to them on a personal level. You want to get on her good side and have a extra special encounter, bring a flower for her or a small box of chocolates. I have seen her after a session all bright eyed as she looks at the flower (especially planted, not cut) that a client has brought her. She finds a special place to put it in the house and cares for it daily. And a week to two later when that same clients calls to see her again, all she can think of is that plant in the window with a flower blooming on it and what a nice gesture it was. She then takes extra time to get ready, special clothes or maybe goes out and buys something new to wear just for him as his special treat.
Yes it is her job. Yes she is getting paid for her time. Yes she has chosen to do this as her job. Yes she is a human being with feeling like everyone else has. No she doesn't require a tip or anything extra for her service. I know when I hire a trade like a plumber to to fix something at my house I always offer a coffee, drink or something to eat while he is here, I don't have to but I know it will be appreciated and I will probably get something extra or just a little more time and care to the work done.
May seem like Dr Phil stuff but you would be surprised how many guys go the complete opposite direction and go with the equivalent of "shut up bit*h and stick it in your mouth". That goes a long way to get someone to go the extra mile for you and unfortunately occasionally impacts the next client, or more than likely makes her unavailable for the next day until she is back in the right state of mind, she always try's to provide the best service.
