Tipping etiquette

[yazoo]

Vancouver is a 'pay before' city, which confuses the hell out of me when it comes to tipping.

I don't like the idea of tipping in advance, but fumbling for a tip at the end seems kind of tacky. And how to present it?

The last two sessions I had here were fantastic, but I was hummin' so good after them that I clear forgot about a tip. It was only as I was walking down the street that I remembered.

I wonder how many tips are missed because of pay before. Is dine and dash that big of a problem?

I tip afterwards if the service was really great or if we went overtime. I sometimes have Gift Cards in my pocket. Aritzia, Lulu Lemon, iTunes are all popular.

I usually tip at the beginning of my next session. Yeah, I agree, paying upfront, then afterwards fumbling around for a tip feels awkward. Plus for a first visit, I like to have just the money I need with me.

In the past I have pulled out a tip after the session. Doesn't seem tacky at all (to me at least) and of course the girls are always happy. What's so tacky about pulling out your wallet at the end of the session and saying, "I had a really great time and want to give you a little something extra."?

On another note, I stopped paying in advance for my sessions. For every 1 time a SP gets ripped off, I bet there are 50 times the customer gets screwed. The last time I paid in advance I was promised CIM but she made some lame excuse and refused to do it. Obviously things may have been different had I not paid her before receiving such promised services.
Now, when a girl demands payment up front, we have a problem. I usually offer to leave the money on the dresser but if that is not good enough, I will just leave.

Thanks guy's. I like the idea of a gift card and will bring one to my next visit. Of course, if she'd switch to pay after, she'd get overpaid each time. Maybe one day she'll figure it out.

If I know the gal, paying up front isn't an issue, but then the better you get to know them and get trusted, money isn't even an issue, they know you will pay and start or end is just a formality.

But you are right, ask for something that isn't wanted or whatever, and up front payment gets pressured and yes, a good time to collect your senses and maybe jump ship.

Or on an extended stay, I can see some logic to half payment up front, rest at the end. That assures the time line is kept.

I always get the details on what I want up front before the call then I have the money in an envelop ready for her when she arrives. I like to get that out of the way before hand. I do not like to have the discussion face to face as it can be uncomfortable. It not like I am buying a car here.

If I have a great session or if I feel the lady deserves more I usually tip her a min. of a 20, 50, or even a 100 more. There are times that the session is so good I will ask her stay longer. If so I will get the money and pay her before we go on.

If I know her well I might have a special gift for her. I have never done the gift card thing as it just does not seem personal.

Yazoo if you real like the lady and you see her again no on says you can not give her the tip up front. Just let her know, some SPs who I see on a regular bases do not check the money while I am there. So you want her to know you thought she was special.

Tipping is usually done in a job that pays minimum wage where the balance is expected to come from tips. Such as serving tables or liquor. Essentially you are paying them to do their job, that is what the tip is for. Allmost no one else recieves tips. In some parts of the US, minimum wage for such jobs is actually much lower because of that expectation.

In the case of an escort, she sets her fee. That is what she expects to get paid and you know it up front. It is not necessary to tip, just as it is not necessary for about a thousand other services you recieve daily because those people are allready being paid. Just think, how many times have you got a tip for doing your job? Like never?

Just pay her up front what she asks. If she wants more she will ask for more. That is how it works.

If you like the service she provides, go back for more. I'm sure that will be much more appreciated than any tip if you treat her decently.

If you don't like the service, then don't go back.

Exactly.

I sometimes will tip if the session goes overtime...but then I don't see it as a tip. I am merely compensating her for the extra time. If the session is really great and in my opinion, the lady is underpriced, I will also tip.

But once I get into the higher price range, the expectation is that the session will be great (that is why I am paying more) and I know I won't be there a minute after our scheduled time is up because I would respect the clear expectations they set out in the etiquette section of their website.

My train of thought on this is if I'm a repeat client or if I plan on going back than that repeat business is tip itself..
Otherwise I'll tip at the end if I like their attitude and effort.

I always pay up front - I don't like the SP having to ask me to give my donation. To be honest, I have never tipped an SP - I get the whole "reward for good service" thing, but to me, I can't justify it. They are making 200-400 dollars for an hour's worth of work, and to me that's enough...

i agree with everything above. i always pay before going to the shower in case she wants to count it in private. i learned this the hard way once, when an escort called me later in the day to tell me that we had BOTH forgotten the donation! i had to deliver it to her at her place of work, which was cool, and i did see her again. but i will walk if i get asked for it before i am ready to hand it over or leave it on the counter

i have tipped a relatively small amount at an agency incall, but i expect the indy to set her rates at the amount of money she wants to make, and although i don't tip above that amount, i don't argue with it either

I want her to count, but not in private. If I am wrong - and I have been wrong - I want to be sure that it is me, and not spend the rest of the session wondering about it.

I once mistakenly gave a lady an envelope containing my Fortis bill. Kind of funny when she walked into the bathroom to ask me about it.

Forgive the ignorance, what's Fortis?

Now that is a Brilliant brilliant idea. Every now and then you get an idea from someone else on here, that you've never really thought of.

One that truly knocks one clear and clean out of the park. Triple B round the bases big guy, touch em all a moment in the sun. you struck that one long to center over the wall. A Brilliant idea.

I sometimes have moments of brilliance. ound: Thanks for the props Badger.

You should have seen the look one ladies face when I showed up with a Gift - a hot bra and thong set from Victoria's Secrets! Fit her perfectly too. Now that was a memorable date

I find the best tipping technique is a sleeper hold and then tuck the bill into their mouth a la The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.

Virgil approves of this technique
