the question you posed was 'is it a common practice?' my answer is it is more common than not, but its not normally the 20% you would tip in other service industries. nothing relating to whether it is right/wrong/fair. With your hotel - I am assuming the QR code is meant for the people cleaning your room, which you would never see them do or have interaction with, but I don't work in a hotel so I have no idea.

you are using their content for free. we get notifications when people view our profiles. if you are looking EVERY DAY, you are unlikely to book and you are satisfying your desires by simply looking - therefore you are not a customer. If you are wanting to know if they will be near your town, 'buddylist' them and you will get a notification. Or perhaps look once a week. Daily looking is a bit much. How would you feel if you knew someone was looking at your photos every single day. it's a bit creepy. some newer profiles are only contactable through rent.men instead of rentmen.eu and only if you have rentmen account. (doesn't have to be premium)

very common. Not the standard 20%, but tipping is very common and appreciated.

the answer to the question - Both are nice.

There are screening mechanisms you will need to put in place. here is some advice - 1. Reach out to an older provider who is well reviewed and been working for a few years and ask for drinks or chat for mentorship. 2. Use Mr.Number. There are some POS providers who have left bad reviews for their good clients in order to keep them to themselves, so if someone only has one or two reviews saying 'time waster' or 'cop', I still communicate with them - however, proceed with caution. If they have many reviews you know just ignore or block. 3. You have plenty of photos/videos on your page. A request for more is a huge red flag. A request for FaceTime is also a red flag - but if you do one, make it not more than 60 seconds to say hello, show you are real, end of call. 4. no phone calls. rarely has anyone called actually made a booking - they are 99 times out of 100 just jerking off. 5. Controversial on here as there ARE Nigerian scammers with RM accounts - but if they want advance bookings - great! but ask for small deposit. If they are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a session with you, they should have no problem sending $50 to lock down a time. if they are concerned about Venmo/cashapp/amazon gift card, tell them to do same day appointment with no deposit - just reach out on the day. Do not let posters here turn you off this - You have proven yourself to be real - until you meet someone who has reached out, they are just a phone number. You have been jerked around enough now to know that people do this to sex workers because they get off on it. Most, not all, but most people posting here don't fully understand that because they are legit clients and can't imagine people doing it to us - you know they do. 6. There are people who use rentmen as an interactive porno site - they jerk off to our pics/videos and interact with us while doing so adding to the fantasy. They are fulfilled by that alone, they do not need to make a booking to be satisfied. Keep this in mind when people reach out. Be friendly but do not play into it. If they are engaging in too much sex talk, cut it. It's a fine line between them asking if you are down to do whatever scene they want to, and them just milking you for content - but you will soon learn where the line is. "I prefer not to engage in to much sex talk, I have gotten a good idea of what you want and I think we will get along well - so let's save it for when we meet". if they cut off off communication after that - you know why. 7. if they message saying they want a 3 hour booking - they are fake. In all my years of full time sex work, I have never had anyone do a 3 hour booking. 2 hours and extended - yes. But three hours up front - no. Be wary of people who are asking for long bookings first, straight up. They do exits, just be wary. 8. never go to apartment or hotel without apartment number or room number. Good Luck.
