[QUOTE=Fennecfan;6867884]You described a perfect $40 tip encounter. HJ, tits out for your entertainment and just makes her job easier.
What was the haggling like? It always annoys me when they do that shit. Kills the relaxing vibe at the end. But glad to hear she accepted the $40.
You mentioned leaving it on the table. The massage table? Interesting. I've always handed it to them on the way out.
I just want to know what I am going to hear if I go see her. Coco was great, but her massage wasn't top notch. I love a great massage and sounds like Tina is the better option there.[/QUOTE]Apologies as it was unclear the way I wrote it, but on the flip she gave the universal 'up-down' hand signal and said "How much?" I said 40, she countered with 60, I stayed at 40, and she said "OK". She wasn't pushy about it at all. Extensive haggling is a mood killer for me as well. I have absolutely gotten up, gotten dressed and left before when they're too demanding (Only happened a couple times to me).
My rule of thumb is: Be respectful while negotiating, but also don't be afraid to just get up and leave if they cop an attitude. Sometimes even just getting up and starting to get dressed will get them to chill out. Mamasan doesn't like unhappy customers and the provider doesn't want to miss an opportunity at a tip, especially if you go on slower days. I've only done it as a last resort a handful of times when I was irritated and ready to walk out anyway.
Also yes, I generally do hand the tip to them but only in the room. Sometimes I will simply leave it behind for them on the desk or table if they're out of the room for a longer time as I'm dressing and they don't appear to be coming back in. Just personal preference for me being overly cautious due to all of these places having cameras in the common areas.
