[QUOTE=Wild Turkey]While we are on the subject of tipping, let me add a couple of things:
First, I understand that the guidelines are to be followed without regard to the length of the appointment. That is, one is expected to tip the same amount for the same level of service, regardless of whether the appointment is for a half hour or a full hour.
Second, I understand that one is to stand firmly by the guidelines even if he is served more than one helping. (This principle I would find difficult to consistently follow.)
I once went through the entire forum back to front in search of answers to these specific questions, and came out empty-handed. Since there are no definitive answers to these questions in the mold of Guitarman's last post, I thought that I would proffer these corollaries for all to see. These represent nothing more than my personal conclusions, arrived at through conversations with a very small number of colleagues. I make no claim that they must be followed in order to conform with standard practice. Please feel free to validate or dispute them, so that I may know what I can get away with.[/QUOTE]
There are exceptions which can lead to a lower or higher tip than what I previously posted.
HJ - .4
BJ - .6
FS - 1.0
Lets say the session was way shorter than what you paid for, or the girl didn't even try to be friendly. That tip should be a bit lower.
Lets say the girl lets you go over the time and provides enthusiastic service. That could warrant a bit more.
Not long ago I had a girl give me a standard finish in the shower, then again after the massage. Of course I tipped more.
Ultimately we want to keep the prices consistent. The standard tip amounts I posted is a guide to keep those prices consistent. However, it is not a rule. Don't be afraid to tip less if you have a bad time. Of course you should only go over those amounts if you get exceptional service.
