[QUOTE=Crayz;7132081]I agree. It's sets the whole mood from the start. Helps them believe I've been there before with the tip amount being right. My last visit at Bali the girl got mad and said "if you've been here before you would know the amount is 1. 6 not 1. 2. I rely on this forum to find out what those tip amounts are at the different places so I can do so. I really appreciate the reviews that include it. Seems to be mentioned more for the FS places. BBBJCIM and the amount for it seems to be a rare find. I've witnessed reading reviews here as well as experienced a better deal as well. A few reviews about 7 in Gastonia stated you leave $$ on the table and it pays for you to get it all. A few more stated giving the house fee then giving 1. 8 or 2. I went and gave the $$ from the start and it paid for the house fee with all the extras. Like a combo instead of two transactions.
However, when I don't know what to put down I'm overpaying. Some of my overpaid post people replied stop putting the money on the table.[/QUOTE]The going rate at most of the FS places is 1. 6 on top of the house fee, some places I know guys will still get away with 140 if they have been going there awhile and get "grandfathered in" at the old price, but if you actually asked the girl what the donation was she would tell you 1. 6 and for and extra. 2 I don't bother haggling and don't get any hassle. If your trying to go 1. 2 for FS you might get it but she won't be happy, so why not give them the going rate and make sure you are getting a happy provider who should give you better service (at least service with a better attitude) Guys may say: your overpaying you can get it cheaper" in some places like I said they might "take" less but they won't be happy which will likely effect your service.
Typically after the TS I don't get a sauna (if offered) and after they take you back to the room they usually have to go do a quick clean of the TS, during that time I get the donation and put it where she will see it and I get good service with most of the providers (some are just not good no matter what but once you find that out you just make sure you don't see that girl again).
One other thing to note, when I started just putting the donation out and not waiting until they bring it up, aside from not having to get up in the middle of the massage and get the tip, I also noticed the massage itself is better (as far as more teasing and playing during the massage if they know you are getting FS) your not going to get a great massage from a FS provider mediocre at best but if you want a massage go to a rub and tug that does actual decent massage (uptown Spa in Concord is one, Z-One in Charlotte gives pretty decent massage too).
