Philosophy of Tipping

[Rubmegood]

Therre seemed to be a lot of thoughts on tipping and prices, etc. on another thread so I thought I'd divert those thoughts here.

I'm no marketing/economics expert but the subject has always fascinated me! It's kind of a "chicken or the egg" question. Is inflation caused by workers asking for more money or is it caused by the increasing cost of goods and services? Increased cost of goods causes workers to ask for more money to pay for goods- and so goes the vicious cycle!

My point about some guys tipping more than others is that we are and have been in a recession. I haven't had a raise in 3 years why would I give my therapist a 50% increase in her tip?

When you start regularly giving $60 instead of $40 just keep in mind you are now raising the bar for everyone! $60 becomes the new $40!

What I mostly object to is "one-upmanship"! Guys with deep pockets having to prove they are better than the other guy by throwing their money around and driving up prices!

Yes agree 100% , some aren't worth the 40 either, but as a rule 40 for hh and 60 for the hour,, this seems to be industry standards,so unless the service is extremely poor, which sometimes it is, I don't deviate from these rates

There is no industry standard.

I tip as I want. Sorry, one of those guys who appreciates what these ladies do. The best ones get more from me than they normally ask.

Call me an idiot but that is just me. Any lady who goes above and beyond satisfying us horny bastards deserves it. Yeah I know 40 to 60 bucks tip can ad up.

But seriously, to allow touching, get naked, let us grab and take whatever they are willing to provide is not a job everyone can handle.

Pay what you want or can afford and move on guys.

The ladies are not increasing there basic 40 dollar fees, so I don't see an issue for those who tip more.

60 for an hr is industry standard? If you breeze thru kijiji and Craig's, I'd say it's more like 80. I agree 60 is out there but I'd say the majority of them are 80.

 

[Wills_willie]

I agree with Bob. Regardless of the base price I tip pretty much like Bob.

 

[Rubmegood]

If you breeze thru kijiji and Craig's

Where on kijiji or Craig's do they suggest tipping at ALL, let alone a specific amount??

 

[Bob the Knob]

Most will start at $80, but I will see if they come down especially first visit. Also what can I expect for the extra $80. The I tip according to the actual experience after the negotiation. Did I get what was agreed and how was the attitude during the fun part of the session?

All goes towards the final tip.

 

[Rubmegood]

There is no issue for the guys that want to tip more! The issue is that you're creating an expectation by the girls that EVERYBODY should be tipping like you and they give us poor schmuck $40 tippers poor service or turn us away!

I beg to differ. I believe the tip corresponds to the service. I never tell them I will pay more, but after the service I tip according to how the session went and the attitude of the lady.

I have left many times only paying the original $40 agreed to tip when all that happens is a lac lustre finish with no preliminary tease or other extras thrown in.

So as I said, I tip based on the quality of the service. I never tip extra based on looks. I have had unbelievable service form aunties where I have tipped more than agreed because they provided a stellar experience.

And of course a lady who goes through the motion will not see me again.

I do the exact same thing, there should not be any expectation because $40 was negotiated, I drop an extra green or two on the bed afterwards if the attitude and service were outstanding, no different than tipping at a restaurant. I also find that I frequently get offered other extras the next appointment because I tipped well the appointment before.

I think they were talking about the tipping being $60 as an industry standard. Not the actual price of massage which is $80/hr.

Ok- I can see we're on different pages. I can see tipping more for more effort (naked, groping, etc.) and great attitude and technique. But I'm just talking a decent massage and a little handiwork at the end to make me happy.

 

[dieselboy]

There's a huge discrepancy between a quick HE at the end of a massage. And a more sensual ending to a massage with losing clothing on her, touching, and anything else that comes with it. This is where I don't mind paying the $60 above the $40 which for me would be for a quick HE vs the extra the $60 gets me. Which I don't mind paying, when the extras mentioned are included In that price.

Well said Diesel. A nice HE really should not be more than 40, I mean what is that, $800 an hour if you last 3 minutes?

A nice HE and other stuff should be 40 (only if more is prohibitive) but minimum 60 IMHO (what I think is a solid tip).

I agree fully. I have left after a less that average massage and finish and left $20.00 as a tip. on the other end of the spectrum I have left an $80.00 tip on a HH great massage with a fantastic finish.
The bottom line is that if the good ones are not rewarded sooner or later they lose enthusiasm, if the poor ones are rewarded they think they can get away with lousy service.

Staying fit would also add value to their experience and openness.

If we are talking paying more than the PRICE of a service, I agree.
If we are talking "TIPPing" i disagree.
A TIP is what you pay over and above the cost or price of service, for service ABOVE & BEYOND what is expected.

Using that same logic, I hate tips because if I bought something, IE PAID for it, (a meal for example) of course you have to bring it to me so why should I tip someone for fetching me what I am paying for. Maybe they are underpaid but that is their employers fault, not mine.
I never did get it. You and I go for dinner, you order a $30 steak and I order a $10 burger (not a feather and a brick but approx same effort to carry both).
Why do you pay a $6 tip and me, a $2 tip? What more did the server do for you than he/she did for me?
In fact what did they do at all, except merely bring us what we are paying for?????
Stupid, stupid stupid concept.

Very good point!
