I try to give up front but with some regulars we have both forgot until afterwards, one time putting on my boots, she asked did we square up?Once in awhile I get a client, usually a newbie, who hands me the cash as soon as he walks in my door before I can even say "hello" with a kiss and hug.
I feel awkward when this happens for some reason.
They are doing nothing wrong but my routine is to say "hello" give hugs and kisses, ask them to take their shoes off and get payment left on my dresser once in my bedroom after some small talk.
Then they can remove their coat and head to the washroom.
I do have trusted regulars who shower beforehand and we are in Kingston, so it is a 5 minute drive to me. I am fine with that for regulars TBH.
And sometimes with regulars, we get too hot and heavy too quickly.
When that occurs, payment is given afterwards.
These are people I trust that if payment was forgotten, they would make sure I received it somehow.
Another time i was out at my truck reached in my pocket to get my keys and pulled out the payment, so I went back and gave it to her.
The third time I was at home and emptied my pockets, realized I had forgot, texted I would come right back and she said just give it to me next visit, which I did.
