The Worst Tip Ever...

Only place I tip is at restaurants and my barber. As for hobby, I never tip over and above the HE fee discussed in room. If no HE fee is discussed, I leave $5 - $10 tip depending on door fee amount.

Other proffessions are optional tipping. I roll my eyes when I see the Tip jar at Take-out food joints. If the girl is cute and flirty I may leave a tip.

I prefer a one time tip during Christmas or Chinese New Years. I usually give my regular asian MPAs $50 - $100. This is great practice for others who need to hide money from SO.
 
Definitely not calling you cheap..I apologize if it came across that way. I just figured that it might get awkward after such a long engagement run. I'd feel weird eating breakfast at the same greasy spoon every morning, being served by the same waitress, getting awesome service, but never leaving a tip to show my appreciation for her efforts in some way. But again, I'm very old school I suppose...to each his own. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The waitress is being paid minimum wage, big difference.
 
Sorry everyone, I just meant this to be a cute story about giving my SP a coin by accident, not a serious discussion about whether or not you should be tipping. I'm sure they all appreciate it if you can--who wouldn't?

I guess the moral is, if I can afford this hobby I should be able to tip once in a while too. God knows it's probably no picnic having sex with me--just ask my wife.

Bolt, over and out.

Not really. To many, exceptional service deserves recognition and reward. If I see an SP who has a published menu, but then she maybe goes the extra mile to accommodate a longer session, maybe does some more elaborate makeup and clothing requests, indulges in some more adventurous/kinky play that perhaps falls under YMMV, and generally speaking, delivers a very positive experience overall, I always leave a very generous tip. Even just for regular sessions, I always leave what now, based on some comments above, feels like a very fair tip. Just my way of saying 'thanks for sharing yourself and your time, I really appreciate your efforts'. I very seldom get the impression the SPs I see expect anything at all, which makes it all the more important to me to recognize the efforts. Sure they're well paid. Wouldn't you want/expect to be if you were in their shoes? To me, the base rate is just a ticket to play. The rest is a show of appreciation for who and what they are, and how hard it is to do what they do. That works for me, but I understand it doesn't for everyone, which is still totally fine.

A tip is nice, but a client that visits regularly is also really great. It sounds like you two have a good rhythm going, I wouldn't over think the tip thing too much. Tip if you can, otherwise just keep being that client who is reliable and respectful of time and you're golden. Providers have ATFs too y'know. :eyebrows:

I think if a provider is working for an agency and there is a split happening, tipping is more important.

And there is no way I'd guess the dollar went into the envelope by mistake! I'd think it was on purpose! And I'd be thinking "huh?". :confused: I'd probably tell my friends "Uhh... I think my regular client just tipped me a dollar...?" I'm glad you texted her to explain!
 
Tempted to ask OP who she is but I think I've figured it out. Highly reviewed!!

Given the price, its a fairly safe bet who it is, ya. To each their own.

An OP, don't feel bad, I tip now and then, but nowhere near every time and I honestly think tipping is the exception, not the norm.

Then again...once a week for 5 months, maybe at least a Tim's card or something ;)
 
I went to a Tims Drive through on Monday and told her to keep the change, I was informed "we are not allowed to accept tips, but thank you".

How odd.

You should go to Quebec.

Tim's employees typically leave a pile of change on the counter and it is customary to leave your change in the pile.

I have given her two gift cards in the time I've known her. One on Valentines day, and one on her birthday, along with a heartfelt card. I was only talking about cash tips. And, technically, twice she's offered me a discount (one was a sale on her ad for everyone, one was when she messed up the time and had me wait for an hour) and both times I gave her the regular amount anyway.

I think you have matter well in hand BU. Tipping can be a difficult habit to stop once started. She may misinterpret your intentions when you don't leave the extra this time around, and explaining that you can only afford the occasional tip just comes across as cheap regardless.
I speak from experience as I always leave a tip with those I see regularly. Once, I was short so did not leave the extra and did not mention it as I thought the less said the better. She looked hurt and sounded disappointed and seemed truly worried I was not pleased with her service. An awkward moment, but one that has me now locked into a continuous tip. Once you start, it is difficult to stop. Gifts from time to time is a much better way to go.
 
Tips are not for thr faint of heart

She's your ATF and you see her every week, but never tip her for consistently meeting your expectations, not even occasionally? I understand the need for spousal discretion and all, but after 20 weeks!....nothing? That I simply don't get, but to each his own I s'pose.

Most SPs like repeat business and regulars so they don't focus on getting a tip. She's probably grateful he has not asked for a discount and is willing to pay her fee.

People don't always tip out of the goodness of their heart but an ulterior motive like more mileage for example.

Tim Hortons seem to run a tight ship.

By not accepting tips the employee does not need to compromise their integrity or feel obligated to toss you a free timbit the next time you come by.
