It has my experience with most AMP's here
[QUOTE=Stewie Griffin;1439579]Friend of mine recently saw Ann and he pretty much reported the same thing. That she wanted a pretty big tip and he said no. Then when he did tip before he left she gave him a lecture on how he better bring more money the next time and what was wrong with him, why did he only bring what he did.[/QUOTE]That the going asked for rate is the aforementioned $.20 on top of mammasan's welcome fee. For the established places, known for delivery as promised, you get your moneys worth. Some will drop the 20 but service suffers somewhat unless your a regular. When I was a newbie and Coco Nuts, I had to go through 20 Questions, only received a Hand Based Happy Ending and was told next time, now that I was cleared, put the money on the table before the shower and no communication would be necessary.
I followed the directions and the advice was right on. YMMV.
You bring up a great point.
[QUOTE=RexxNJax; 1439545]I have traveled all over the US visiting many AMP's for the last 14 years. The rates have consistently been. 6 (H) , .8 (O) , or $ (F). Once or twice I paid $.2 I have always paid in advance (usually just after the shower) , we discuss the "wants" and the tip. When they recognize you as a regular they usually stop asking, they know what to expect. I understand someone having concerns that they might tip and walk out with nothing. But this place has been well documented as a place where satisfaction is delivered. Like you they don't want to be "stiffed" on the tip. Another perspective, separate what you pay for the massage vs tip. It is my understanding that the 80 is for the house and the ladies work for the tip. If you want to save money go for the 1/2 hr.
Good luck, be safe.[/QUOTE]Rexx you do have a great point by paying in advance or the chances or either party getting "stiffed." The way I look at it, it's like going to a restaurant and being waited on. If the service is good I leave a tip according to the service, it would be silly to tip the waiter / waitress first and then receive your meal. Not saying getting all the formalities out of the way first isn't the right approach but I guess it's just not my style or just the frugalness in me that doesn't want to get "stiffed." Have a good one people and as always be safe.
