Just my 2 Cents about Perfect 10
I go to Perfect 10 infrequently but each time I go it's great for me. Extras are definitely on the menu and had gotten them from three different girls. Tips can get pricey but with the level of service I get I don't mind so much. I've never had anyone give me attitude there and one in particular is very nice to me. Women average around late 30's to 40's.
Ambrosia...I have a few questions...Put me out of my misery, please
As you have read before on my posts I am a fan of Rainbow. I pay the 80 get and hour massage with a nice ending and tip 20. So I am always at 100 per hour visit. I want to try Ambrosia but from the reports I have read I am unclear that I would leave Happily for. 8 +. 2. I say this because the tips people give the girls are 60-80ish. Am I missing something? I guess what I am asking is would 100 total get me an experiance that ends much like RB? I don't want to embarass myself by showing up at ambrosia with 5-$20s in my pocket.
Thanks

[QUOTE=Fx Dude]This has been a much needed discusion on tipping. Some of you guys have clearly tipped your way into a corner. I get the same EXACT service (maybe more) as you with a $20 Tip. And you are paying $40-$60. Some here would call me cheap. I think I'm smart. The premise is that they have given you extra service that warants heavy tipping. I look at it totally differntly. I can get a great Regular massage anywhere for 50-60. We go to an AMP and pay 30 more than that right up front because we are getting a little extra. On top of that we feel the obligation to tip and that is fine but do the math people. Some of you are paying 120-140 for a massage and a little tug? The girls probably get a great laugh at your expence after you've walked out. Grow some rocks gentleman. Your getting hosed and you're happy to share the info with us. It's like paying way to much for car and telling everyone you got suckered. Who does that?[/QUOTE]
For a newbie , he makes alot of sense !! He just might be on to something !
The split shouldn't matter when tipping
[QUOTE=Tryon]Just for information. The standard split on the asian AMP door fee:
Girl get $10 on the $60 1/2 hr & $20 on the $80 hr.[/QUOTE]It's not like we are using a proportionate scale as is applied in most service industries which is typically 15% of the cost of the product or service. Nor do you consider the minimum wage your waitress at Denny's is earning when it comes time to tip her. What a massuse get's from the door fee is not our business. If we considerd scale, we'd be leaving $9 to $15 based on 60 and 80. If we are being asked to consider thier end of the door fee, what standard of living are you attempting to fund for them? Where are the limits? This makes no sense.
So we are left to our own devices. In this case we are arbitrarily tipping based on the effort and quality of the services. Imagine if no HE was provided. Would you not tip at all? I for one have always tipped my massuse in a legit place and it has always been based on 15% of the cost at the door.
So I consider only the effort and quality when I go to RB and Lilly's and Spa74 etc. Regardless of the amount of time I bought, because the amount of time spent on the HE is almost always the same either way. A standard HE like I get at Lillys with a decent massage deserves no more than a single Jackson. Even Suzie only gets 1 Jackson from me because she has always demonstrated early to achieve limits after the flip. But Monica has generous and demonstrated a more libral approach. Albeit I will not submit her name for cannonization as others here would, I do leave her with 2 Jacksons and she is always happy with me.
Lastly, I don't think that this discussion has any influence on the market rates in CLT and definitely will not change a thing in that regard. But I hope it gives us all some food for thought.
