Cautious, thrifty or penny-pinching escorts?

[marylander1940]

A few weeks ago after an hour of fun I took a visiting escort to brunch in his hotel. When we were about to leave he made a smoked salmon sandwich carefully placed it on a Ziploc bag and put it in his cargo shorts pocket. He said it was "for later" and he was happy to have a refrigerator in his room because of his platinum member status.

 

Would yinz (escorts and clients) call his behavior cautious, thrifty or penny-pinching? I'm sure it's not the first time he's done it.

[Guy Fawkes]

Thrifty.

Could also be to maintain his current diet and eating habits and not get derailed by eating out.

Good point. I know escorts who pack protein shakes in their suitcase but we're talking about a smoked salmon sandwich. I don't think subway has that available but I'm sure most restaurants do.

[MscleLovr]

Thrifty. I have some dietary constraints and I prefer to eat smaller, more frequent meals, so I do the same when travelling.

In what world would someone making a sandwich be considered cautious? LOL

 

Thrifty.

[Clintbr]

Let’s just call him savvy and sensible. I think that I will plan a get together with him!

I'm attending two days of training this week, it's held every year and the food (provided by the host hotel) is good and plentiful. I've joked with the organizers that this year I'm bringing ziploc bags.

cautious about spending money and keeping a reasonable ratio between investment (flight + hotel + other spending) and profit.

 

Unfortunately I know so many escorts who retired with no savings for their future.

I'm not a personal fan of the practice, but for an escort (of which I am not), it means not having to leave the room/hotel in search of a meal, and saves a bit of money. Traveling costs money, which eats into their profit. I think it's thrifty in this case, and shows practical planning.

People who walk out of brunch buffets with food in their pockets have never owned a restaurant or small business.

I'd have my guest let me buy him something to go and also try to work it out with the host to cover what the fellow took from the buffet, without causing him any embarrassment.

 

I guess I wouldn't want to judge or school him but hopefully he'd think about it when I insist on the to go order.

Escorts are business owners too.

because I know many escorts who retired with $0. Maybe if they are careful with they money in this situations they are also watchful when it comes to other spending.

I travel for work and mostly stay at hotels that include breakfast. I usually take few bananas ( less than or equal to 3 ) with me in my bag as an emergency snack in the late afternoons because I am at client places mostly and I don’t want to ask clients for a vending machine to begin with and don’t want to eat junk food from vending machines and that too in presence of my client teams.

Not the same...and you know it.

Would you call them entrepreneurs at least?

They are hardly entrepreneurs. You have posted many times that many guys leave the profession broke.

 

The few who save a significant amount of money are entrepreneurs - underline significant.

[+ VictorPowers]

To add in here. I’ll snag an apple and banana from the lounge at the hotels. I also pack cans of tuna prior to every trip as well. I’ve always been a graze type eater so I like my snacks and meals throughout the day. I can’t say I have preemptively brought bags or containers for leftovers though.

If an escort walks away from the business having invested that money in something lucrative, sure. Otherwise, I think even calling an escort an “entrepreneur” is ambitious. While one should treat escorting like a business, it’s hardly a business, and more of a strategic hustle.

I thought you didn't consider this thread to be worthy of the forum or that's what you and another poster insinuated earlier.

 

Planning a trip (running an ad, collecting would-be-clients phones and emails, looking for the right ticket and hotel rate) hoping/expecting to make a profit is an entrepreneurial activity to say the least.

 

Same applies to escorts who pay high rent in Midtown NYC knowing it will pay off because of most clients are around that area.

 

We must always invest our money to make a profit no matter how that money was earned.

Eh, not so much.

 

“A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.”

 

more like this (quoted from a well established escort):

I wouldn't think the left over food would be served again?....hope not!
