For the most part, I never ask, either before during or after, and either the gentleman places an envelope of donation on the table or in my bowl/tray, whatever is convenient, I usually do not count it, although if I get an unusual vibe or the person is nervous, new or anything where I feel something is unsettled (it may only be nerves) I may ask if they have something for me, before or if they forget or I fuck them up royally, I may ask in an appropriate way, or I can also work it into the dom session, like pretend to rob them for fun.... One time I gave one of the best sessions and the guy at the end said "oh, I thought it was for fun, i only brought 60"… I almost punched him out… And there was another time one of my regs left a gift bag, usually with a gift and donation, this time there was no donation…it had happened with the same person a year prior but they had made it up to me and I accepted them back, but the second time it created a rift and it will not be repaired again. Once trust is broken to that magnitude, there's no getting it back… I also had one of my vip's a year back show up seemingly sober, but little did I know he chugged something just prior to going in, but was not detectable, and ended up staying 2.5 hrs and gave me 180, I was appalled… I had to drive him back to his hotel as he staggered… 6'2" 230lbs…. he had a history of it his first visit, then I told him it was unacceptable he came back 3 times sober, so I did not expect him to show up like that for his 5th and final visit…
I am very trusting, as I believe the more trust worthy you are, the more you trust others to be the same. This industry is not like that, and if you are a first time guest, it's $ upfront, but I do not count it unless i get a weird vibe, but not bill by bill cause that's really tacky, I just fan it out and if it looks good, I'm happy…
All that and there's more I can tell you guys, and gals, but I'm sure you have your own stories to share. I'm a more assertive and some consider me to be a bit on the intimidating side, so i can imagine what you ladies with a less commanding presence must go through with people ripping you off. I'm not talking about being short 20 here or there either.
