I'll be getting my first taste of the Toronto escort scene in a few weeks, and have a question regarding payment.

Is it alright to pay in US dollars? I'm a Canadian who spends a lot of time in the US, so I usually only carry American currency. I'm afraid to ask an SP about it, because I don't want them to think "cha-ching, greenbacks -- time to raise rates by 50%!".

Nah! Exchange rate seems to suck 99% of the time. Stop at a bank and change it. Or deposit it and use an ATM. Fairly good exchange rate there also.

I'm sure most ladies would love US dollars but you're gonna pay them for the hassle of exchanging it anyway. I don't blame them for charging a little extra just for the time it wastes.

You have got to be kidding me...

You're a Canadian...and you don't have easy access to Canadian money...nah..you didn't say that. Your ATM card works well in Canada..use it. Don't exchange US for Canadian at any retail establishment. As for hassle of exchange for an SP..what hassle. The greenback is accepted in many countries in the world where they won't even take their own local issue. Try spending Canadian money in Cuba, one of those staunch allies of Canada..won't work. Greenbacks work just fine there and everywhere where they profess to hate us but love our money..LOL. No wonder there is so much petti anti-American sentiment expressed on this board.

Dear samaritano,

"petty anti-american sentiment"

I doubt you have to worry about your ass walking down any street in toronto. Bet you wouldn't feel the same way in oooohhh say half the places in the rest of the world would you.

He he.

You mistake our Canadian / British sense of superiority for anti american sentiment.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

We love americans, especially when you come here and spend your money.

We mainly live in Toronto and this is a better city in which to live than any american city (I have been to most) so we naturally feel superior.

We find american musings the american way is the only way quite old. We are also quite bored with your gov't taxing our soft wood exports because our gov't doesn't levy enought taxes on our lumber barons. We are also quite bored having americans boo our national anthem at hockey games (we will of course only respond by cheering yours in order to demonstrate proper sportsmanship).

We find it quite hysterical that your president demonstrats his intelligence by calling our prime minister "Jean Poutine" on national television, a bit which has no doubt been played about a million times here, each time garnering more laughs than the last, or the bit when the governer of Iowa (correct me if i am wrong) congratulated canada on finally moving to the 24 hour clock. It just gets better and better doesn't it.

But i do agree with you on one point, the guy should use canadian money period. There are instant tellers in every store / gas station, and banks on every other corner.

God bless america

Ok...

U.S Dollars... I have never been asked or told upfront that I will be payed in U.S. I just accept it as a part of the indusrty. I don't fell it is right to charge more... It is a reality and would you not get the exchange on it anyway... No if you mean that you want to pay a lower rate which is equal to the Canadian I can not answer that as I would not know. When I have been payed in U.S. Currency I have been paid my normal rates as if it was Canadian and tipped the exchange.

Hope this helps.

Jenn - I'm not generous or wealthy enough to pay par (US$200 = CDN$200), so I guess I'll have to get it exchanged somewhere.

I miss dealing in Canadian currency anyways -- bills that look like they're from a box of Lucky Charms cereal, and change that weighs as much as lead. :D
