Do you guys tip on top of quoted price?

[dare.devil]

I am often confused on tipping the provider, I generally keep my cash separately and don't bring my wallet to the session.

Do you all tip if you like the service or provider goes beyond her regular offerings?

How do you plan your tip, bring wallet, keep additional cash, e-transfer etc?

I don't really get why you tip when the going rate is $300 an hour these days. Tips are for minimum wage workers who need the tips to earn something resembling a living wage. I don't tip my lawyer or accountant as they are paid well enough they don't need tips to survive

Sometimes just the tip is all you need.

Personally I haven't tipped any provider yet, or was able to add any paid service, as I go with exact counted cash for the session. But I heard some people do and want to know their thoughts on it as why they chose to tip?

only time I "tip" is if Im too lazy to get exact change ex, their rates $250 and all I have is bills that add up to $260 haha

It’s very very rare. I don’t think providers expect it either, don’t feel obliged. Flowers are a super nice touch tho

I don't do it everytime with every provider but I do give a little extra to the ones I really enjoy and repeat with. They probably have dozens and dozens of clients that pay their posted rates so when somebody goes a little extra, they're more easily remembered.

I tend to agree with one of the comments aboce that for the sort of hourly rate I’m paying that I’m not inclined to tip. I do however like to bring a small token or gesture of appreciation. I usually check their website or Twitter to see if they’ve mentioned anything. The last lovely that I saw mentioned on her website that she likes salted caramel chocolate among other things, so I brought a couple of different types. I’m not rolling in dough like a few of the folks on here, so I just try to pick something relatively inexpensive but that they like.

i'd rather be remembered as a respectful gentleman and an attractive, charismatic client than remembered just because I bribe her with extra cash.

plus I think most SP's keep notes on who you are along with your number, ive never had an SP not seem to remember me, even when its years between seeing them last.

I always tip. And always before the date. If it's someone new, then it's an easy way to get off on the right foot and to show my enthusiasm. If it's a regular, then it's an easy way to show appreciation.
I do it because I can -- I understand why some don't.

Chad, I never referred to it as a bribe.

How many times does this need to be asked? Do a search, it's only the 100th time at least this has been covered.
