A private masseur takes all the money home, where someone at a spa only gets a portion of your payment. So tipping is less crucial for the income of the private person. Absolutely spa masseurs depend on our tips. Those guys typically only get 30% of the spa price. Spa price $60. $60 × .30 = $20 whereas a private guy puts the entire $180 in his pocket. A good spa masseur only gets $100 a day from the spa if he does 5 massages! They rely on us to tip them and well deserved for good treatment. 😜 Capitano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would someone work for only $20/hour, especially when they are unlikely to have a client every hour? They could probably make more at amazon or mcdonalds, yes?

All of the newer ones I've used in the US only dispense in multiples of $20 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them in big cities and small cities. I'm in Buffalo (the latter), and where a bank has installed an ATM within the last couple of years, it offers a variety of cash options.

To work in those places you'll need proper working papers, SS#, knowledge of English language, etc. Not necessarily applicabe to these guys.

jeezifonly Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 As in older client whose body is not disgusting to touch, but also really nothing to look at, I tip as an honorarium to their grit in getting through it. 🤭 This does not apply if their house is nicer than my house.
