Do clients tip?

[Youngmilkman]

I'm meeting a regular tomorrow night and it's dawned on me that I've never thought to tip him (or anyone else) before. Do escorts commonly get a tip?

It really depends. I tend to tip my regulars actually especially if they give me a "regulars" discount. I know for example that one of my regulars routinely charges me about $50 less for an hour and often gives me a bit better deals on longer sessions. As a result I tend to give him an extra $20 to the agreed upon donation just because he is such a nice guy and we always have a great time. He also always texts me before he comes into town and tries to arrange a good time for us before he arranges with other clients.

 

However if it was just a one-off it kinda depends. I often take out an extra $20 to tip if it was a really great time and 9/10 I do give it to them. But sometimes just keep it if it was only OK or if the session I felt was a bit overpriced. There definitely are escorts out there that charge $300 for what better escorts charge for $250 or even $200. And I've also been with a couple that think an hour is only 40-45 minutes.

 

Often what it comes down to is if I would truly like to see the escort again. In most cases the answer is yes, so I feel the extra tip is kind of a way of saying thanks and also I'd love to see you next time you're in town or whatever. If the answer is no, then I just pay the agreed upon donation and know next time not to hire him.

We do, if you feel the service was exemplary and went above expectations.

I wouldn't say commonly but if you really like him why not tipping or you can save the extra money and hire him again soon...

I don’t really refer to them as “tips”. But if I travel specifically for a client or get a room for a session, then getting extra for those things could be considered tips. I consider it more of helping to offset the costs. Perhaps, a “bonus”. Like there’s a difference when you sale clothes or furniture, you don’t get tips but it does come with commission and a bonus.

 

Once you start getting into calling them tips, then you have to get into percentages, and a $250 session at 18% gratuity ends up being: $295+ 8% sales tax= $318.60.

 

So, I wouldn’t want people to feel obligated to do that. So, I set my prices...but if the client is inclined to cover any additional expenses I incur as part of the session, that’s certainly appreciated.

I don’t think it’s expected.

[Mocha]

I don’t think it’s expected.

 

...but it depends on the circumstances, like I noted above. I mean...there’s a difference between an escort sitting at home and getting a booking, versus doing backflips across town, walking 3 miles from the hotel lobby to the room, and it being after midnight, and running into traffic even though it’s after midnight.

 

In those cases, a “tip” can certainly take the tip off the iceberg.

I never expect a tip, but its always nice when I check my money hours later and see i got a little extra. Im just appreciative to get hired in the first place and more appreciative that I've had regulars for years now who continue to see me when they can hire anyone else, thats why I'm never a clock watcher and spend way more time than what people hire for, you treat me good, ill treat u even better hehe

 

Very nice...and as a client I really appreciate the escorts that I feel I have a genuine connection with and ultimately I tend to tip them a bit extra when I can. And of course regularly hire them.

[+ bashful]

I usually tip, but whether I hire again is another story.

What if you check it in a few hours, and noticed its a little less than what you expected? Like, a lot less?

 

Reminds me of a story someone told me about how he got all the way to the airport, only to realize his “overnight rate” was really just a few 1s and some cut up newspaper. Too late at that point.

 

It is a blessing to have steady regulars and sometimes it easy to forget about the time and just let the fun go on. But I almost feel like you’re insinuating that it’s okay to let time and money go unchecked, in order to retain regulars.

 

I feel you can still have loyal regulars and keep check of things. Some of my best and loyal regulars were those who gave me at and beyond what I charged. Some of my most unreliable regulars were the ones who I constantly gave breaks for, discounts/extra time...yet were the same ones who would cancel at the most inconvenient time, or prime me for a booking, but not show for it.

I can’t even remember the last time I got stiffed a little or a lot, it’s so rare that it happens. But the majority of people I see a month are regulars so that helps. I don’t know what kind of people you are seeing but if your regulars are stiffing you or being rude and ghosting appointments it’s time for you to cut them off. Of course if it’s someone new I’m seeing it’s different, you got to count the money in the bathroom at least before you go, since you don’t know them and that relationship is still new. As for the timing issues you see how many members here post that they would repeat someone who doesn’t rush them out as soon as the 1 hour hits. So I don’t see an issue if it goes over, as regulars are important in escorting however of course if you have to be somewhere else or have another appointment then monitor your time. It’s all about what’s your business model and what’s making you the most clients but I enjoy the people I see so that’s why I don’t have an issue rushing them out you have to find a happy balance, the relationship of trust takes time, doesn’t happen the first time. But number one rule is all about respect, if you feel like your being disrespected then speak up and decide if you want to fix it or leave

Your business model reflects your generous persona, which is why you have rarely been stiffed. I always enjoy your posts!

Interpretation, my friend. It’s all in the interpretation.

 

I never said anything about clients stiffing me, I never used the word ghost, or rude or shared anything about my regulars. So not sure where you’re getting off that any of these things are taking place.

 

I was simply saying in GENERAL. Also, the example I gave was from a now retired provider. All I was saying, was that I didn’t agree with “counting money a few hours later” and “letting time go by unchecked”...which is the reason why “you have regulars for years”. If they like you...that’s why you’ve had them for years. Not necessarily because of what you mentioned. All I was saying is, you can have good regulars and still have order in your business. I don’t think you have order because if you did, you wouldn’t be saying:

 

thats why I'm never a clock watcher and spend way more time than what people hire for

 

That tells me you’re working overtime and not getting paid. That’s not a good biz model. That’s what crappy companies do to employees to save money. You’re in biz for yourself, you have the power to not sell yourself short. My 90 min and 2 hour sessions are some of my best selling time slots. If I only charged an hour and let people stay 2, 3 hours longer (not saying you are, just saying in general), I’d be cheating myself.

 

And what kind of people I’m seeing? The same people who are seeing you for the same reason! People who are looking to pay a provider for a good time. You make it sound like I’m pulling clients out of a dark alley or something.

 

You can make a point, but just don’t talk down to me in the process. I don’t respond well to that.

 

For one...I’m not any less of a provider than you are, and trust me I’ve been in this game a long time, longer than you. I can assure you I’ve gone more places outside of New York too and met clients. Therefore, my business encounters are going to be more extensive than yours because I have more overall experience than you do. But one thing for sure, I don’t need to be “schooled” on how to handle clients. Nobody is stiffing or ghosting me on a regular basis. Otherwise I wouldn’t be so busy all the time and need to take 2 weeks off every month or 2.

aww thanks bud, now if only that would work for those flakes on rentmen, thats a whole another story

btw your avatar always makes me chuckle, you seem so sweet well at least to me, but that tall boot makes me thinks dirty things of you hehe, perhaps your dominant, or submissive I cannot tell haha

Let’s just say that I have several pairs, and that I’ve often been asked to wear them?

[Ryan Roman]

I wouldn't say commonly but if you really like him why not tipping or you can save the extra money and hire him again soon...

 

I never expect tips but am very appreciative when I receive a tip... I usually interpret that as a sign the client really enjoyed our time together.

[Ichabod]

I never understand why escorts and masseurs don't count the money when I pay them. I would be mortified if I underpaid someone; but I make mistakes like anybody else, so it could happen by accident. I guess some people think it seems rude to count the money in front of the client? But they count the money when I get my hair cut, or at the supermarket, or anywhere else. (I know this is a tangent from the original topic...)

[+ WilliamM]

Interesting. I always tip, unless the time spent together is truly awful.

 

I wish this thread , or one like it, had existed a long time ago.

 

 

Tell me again what happened to former porn star Billy Brandt?

Just like in any other service industry I’ve worked in, it always feels good to be tipped. I don’t expect it, and it stands out a lot. I remember which clients tip me, and I will always accept feedback; especially if it’s positive feedback about why you decided to tip me.

 

Hiring me again is the best feeling, though. Regardless of being tipped, being a regular means we are building a long relationship together.

I always tip unless the experience is awful. Not sure why but I would feel guilty if I don't tip unless they are terrible.

[+ azdr0710]

I ask the provider what his favorite grocery store is and pick up a gift card as a tip. That way, he remembers me at the time of the meet....and again a few days later when he goes food shopping!
