Tipping SPs

So the above thread generated some interesting insights.

Having lived in NYC for the past 3 years, tipping is second nature to me. But if I`m reading the "market" correctly, tipping is almost never done for SPs (at least in the GTA) -- especially if they`re independents. Is that a correct assertion?

And for those few that do tip, how do you determine how much to leave? I understand that if you have multi-hour sessions, you`ll probably leave more, but let say, for 1 hour session, how much is "appropriate?"

Is $20 on $260 ok or should go at least 10% (i.e. $26)?

Well tips are rare being an SP for about 3 years. but anything $20 above the fee price is ideal. Some tip less or even try and give change which I do find a bit insulting sometimes.

Change? like, lonnies $ toonies?
Now that's just pure stupidity!

most sp's would rather have the ''whole thing'' not just the tip

I've tipped a few but have always returned them back to their upright position.

I've received tip from $20 to $300+. For an hour long appointment, I've usually received between $20-$50, but $20 is more common.

Tip aren't that uncommon, but I think that most SPs don't expect them, so anything extra to the agreed rate will be very much appreciated.

Few, if any, tip an indy. After all, who tips the owner of any establishment?

I know lots of guys that tip agency girls, especially for outcalls. Classy ladies will in turn tip the driver. I know of several girls that have regular clients that do not tip as such, but will occasionally bring a fairly substantial gift. Anything from a favourite perfume to a laptop and even a DSLR camera.

I often (50% of the time) get tipped and while flattering it can also be really uncomfortable. You tip a waitress or a bellhop, someone who is working for less than you think their service towards you might merit. I earn significantly more than these jobs (per hour ratio, although I don't work THAT much so maybe not per day) and I'm not sure its entirely appropriate on a larger scale.

For that reason I won't accept a tip in the 3 or 4 digits (not super common but more than you'd think). I do this because I love it, not because I'm looking for money. A little something (an extra 20 maybe) is a nice way of saying 'thank you' and 'I had a great time', too much more and its extravagant... but friendly words (or coming back!) mean exactly the same thing.

I agree with you that extravagant tip (or gifts) can be uncomfortable. The few times that I got tipped very large amount, I did tell the client it was way too much, but they insisted and I didn't want to make the situation more uncomfortable by arguing with them or refusing the gift.

And I agree with you that repeat visits is as good, if not a better way to show appreciation than any extra amount of money or gifts.

I too never tip indys. I usually give out a $20 if I had a good to great session. I'd say about 3/4 of the time I tip.

I don't think you should ever tip sp's, I mean, I have heard of cow tipping but not sp's....I generally take their hand and lay them gently on the bed!!!

 

[Lou Siffer]

I only ever tipped one SP, but it wasn't my fault. She was way too top heavy.

 

[rayden]

I only tip if the fee is way under the norm but the service was well beyond the norm. If I am paying fair dollars then I do not see a need to tip.

 

[oldjones]

Think of it this way: If she deserves the tip, you'll know, and be eager to offer it. If you're asking, likely they don't, but you can always be generous, and it's good to encourage effort even if it wasn't wholly successful.

If she asks, she's Transgressed The Unwritten Law. And it does not say Thou must tip.

Always at your discretion.

When I had It I gave much more......

I had a fantastic job in the past, paid me over $180 000. Then I gave big tips because it really kept the girls sweet, they appreciated $50-100 tips. Now I am on a really good pension and starting 4 businesses. Now the regulars understand the tips will be small or zero until later when the biz is better. It may not change the menu but it does change the enthusiasm, LOL.
