Question re: tipping

[yvrvisitor]

I will expand on this after a few reponses..

So you go see a lady - be it $250 for a full service or $100 for a massage
Service was good, but not outstanding

Do you tip? If so, how much or what %?

In your view, do you think a lady has right to ask for tip when and if you don't provide one?

 

[Samantha Jones]

its nice to get a tip, even if it's just $5 for coffee! It shows you care and appreciated her time and efforts, and she will look forward to seeing you again even more so than non- tippers. It's the thought that counts.

.. If you choose not to, why not write a nice review or subscribe to her newsletter/ tweets if you can

 

[Lo-ki]

I tip if the service is greater then what is expected...

 

[hornygandalf]

I think a thoughtful small gift (flowers, chocolates or whatever is on the ladies' wish list) is probably the appropriate way to go (so, upfront). Something upfront in expectation of great service demonstrates a confidence in them that hopefully will result in the appropriate action.

Otherwise, I would keep the tips ($20 rather than a %) to those who are clearly working for others. The independents are running their own business and so the revenue is all theirs (less of course their extensive business expenses). Do you normally tip your accountant or the doctor or the dentist? These ladies (for the most part) are professionals, so that is how I like to treat them.

I might tip an extra 10 or 15 percnt if I feel that the girl showed a special interest or skill in finding out what I like and really seemed to give a lot of herself in the session.

 

[hornygandalf]

I never tip. But.... I am about to for the first time. Found what I was looking for. And the only one I care to see. For that reason. I'm tipping. Large. Lol

So, why not do it upfront to encourage them to really make it a special session (gratitude)?

 

[Cappa]

I used to tip a lot back when my ATF was still around -anywhere from 50 to 70. I liked tipping her because it gives her a greater sense of self-worth. Seeing her happy made a world of difference to me.

I don't tip anymore though.

I think Mr Pink has the topic covered.

Haha I was waiting for that scene to be put up.

I'm more with Gandalf on this one. If I've seen someone a few times, I put the tip in with the donation upfront. If it's my first time I tend to wait til afterwards and more times than not tip.

I almost always showed up with wine but lately have encountered non drinkers so I've switched it up to giftcards.

Hopefully these girls aren't outright asking for tips!

As long as you are a gentleman and treat them right for the time booked, show respect, shower/clean yourself up, pay when you start and overall make her feel comfortable. .. This is all that counts!

The girls much rather enjoy their time with you and see you as a regular then receive a obligatory tip like a waitress after terrible service or meal

If you really liked her and enjoyed all your time then tips are always nice and welcomed

 

[Ms Erica Phoenix]

Expecting a tip is bad enough...ASKING for one is wrong!

I LOVE to hear that I have exceeded expectations, blown your mind, worn you out...etc., and I strive to do that for EVERY gent. If I am feeling off my game, I bench myself for the day because I don't ever want to hear that I was a disappointment. That's something I take really personally. That said, gift cards are ALWAYS appreciated! Whether a gent cares to give it at the beginning of the encounter or as a parting gift doesn't matter at all. It's nice to know that a gentleman has found out about a preference of mine & wants me to know he sees me as an individual, not just an interchangeable orifice!

 

[take8easy]

About 3 out of 4 times, I tip upfront. The reasons are...

-I am getting older and sometimes, I honestly forgot to do it at the end.
-I personally find it awkward while she is standing there about to say bye and I am fumbling thru my pocket/wallet to find that $20 bills I had kept for tipping.
-99% of the time, I only go to well-reviewed and well-reputed ladies, so I know service will be good so why not tip upfront. I do it hoping that may be tipping upfront is going to get me that ... extra service.
-Sometimes, I have not tipped even my regulars, because I personally don't have ..... enough money. It is an expensive hobby and cash doesn't grow on trees.

These reasons are in no particular order.

Do NOT tip under any circumstances: services here are already grossly overpriced, poor and inconsistent overall (often obvious rip-offs), unregulated and have huge profit margin. SP's don't usually pay taxes. The is no need to voluntarily pay extra for something which can be qualified as profiteering.

I think you have made some blanket assumptions here that are uncalled for. The profit margins are variable, but probably not as large as you envision. But, is it not unreasonable for the ladies to charge a level they feel adequately compensates them for sharing the high degree of intimacy expected of them, while doing something that stigmatizes them in the eyes of many in society. Some charge higher and have fewer clients as a result. That is their choice and we shouldn't be condemning them for it. Some are possibly overpriced in relation to the services offered or our expectations. We don't have to visit them. And one only needs to read through the many reviews on this board to know that there are many ladies who provide superb service at a price point that gentlemen appreciate and are willing to pay. I also think you are making some broad assumptions by suggesting that SP's don't unusually pay taxes. The reputable ones do. It is in their interests. Others don't. I think I've made my stance known in terms of tipping... not every provider is independent, but your comments sir are uncalled for and bordering on offensive in terms of many of the ladies active on this board.

class act bbb.

I find the ladies really appreciate small tokens.
for me, it's a chocolate package from Thomas Haas
and usually get better session as a result of it.

I may be old-fashion but a little token of appreciation goes a long way.

I don't mean to be offensive - I'm merely stating facts: services in Vancouver are grossly overpriced, poor, inconsistent and unregulated. Who is at fault is a topic for a separate discussion. This one is limited to tipping. And my definite advice is NO TIPPING!

First of all tipping is really a third world thing based on the assumption that an employee is seriously underpaid and exploited. In other words an employer deliberately refuses to pay a fair wage to an employee, and the employee have no means of doing anything about it. This is not the case here. SPs are very well paid, typically way more than 99% of pooners.

In addition to that just in order to get any kind of decent service, I need to spend lots of time on this forum trying to analyze reviews to minimize chances of being simply ripped off. Anything more or less acceptable is hard to find: it either misrepresentation and fraud, or some bizarre prices which are totally out of proportion, or both. Who should I tip and why? I wish someone tip me for all the trouble.

I have had the discussion of tipping with a few SP's whom I become close with in the past and the general sentiment was the best way to show your appreciation is by repeating, so that's what I have always done. Any girl whom I have a good time with, I definitely repeat with at least once but in most cases several times and also often book longer sessions

grossly overpriced = opinion/experience
poor = opinion/experience
inconsistent = again, opinion/experience
unregulated = FACT

I wouldn't say it better!

And here I was thinking phreak was only concerned with conspiracy theories and backhanded political agendas; unknowing that I am grossly overpaying for poor, inconsistent and unregulated service from SP's?

** Ding Ding ** That is the warning bell and soon the clicking of the Red Shoe brigade will descend upon this thread momentarily. Broaching the "overpaid" comment usually doesn't turn out very well. haha

I dunno, I have seen some amazing women in the past years and I was quite happy to top off the donation envelope in doing so.

I will say one thing phreak; giving the SP the chance to decide upon the client who is generous vs a client who pays the exact amount, I would be a betting man that those who tip usually get preferential treatment when SP's decide who to see in any given week. It's pure economics.

On a different tangent; I have in recent memory given zero tip at a restaurant and also went on Yelp to report my poor experience service wise. So do not assume I am an easy mark for donating cash unnecessarily.
