I have to say, I’m really surprised that people “tip” anything for private masseurs. How does it make any sense at all for a provider to be tipped if he’s receiving 100% of his self-determined fee? Tipping is supposed to exist for workers who only receiving a portion of the fee for their services, so I really want to push back on this a bit… if private providers want more money, they should just set higher fees, and there shouldn’t be any expectation of receiving a tip, right?
