Tip time--BM and Palm Tree
[QUOTE=Kevoneinfl;2194469]I have been to palm tree 3 times. The first time I didn't tip until negotiaitons were made. I was told that they prefer the tip be left out visible prior to the TS. This may be a LEO thing, or maybe to let them know how much for how much. I have used this method at BM once, tipped up front. And was informed that the tip was too much for what the therapist would provide. Luckily I was refunded some money. At MM I negotiate during the massage, though that kinda breaks the mood a bit. I have tipped after a few times, and only once was I met with drama for a "low tip" but the services didn't warrent more.
So maybe the first visit recon is the way to go, figure out how the girl / place does it.[/QUOTE]Recon first if in a new environment for sure. I got the lay of the land tip-wise at BM on my first visit. Room fee was the floor and it went up from there. Being recognized on future visits by the receptionist and Kat made things easy. Would simply ask a new therapist "what is your tip schedule?" Kind of mechanical, but it worked. I felt comfortable and the therapist felt comfortable that I was not there to cause trouble. Still an expensive proposition, but that is for another post.
Earlier posts echoed the preference for tips prior to service at Palm Tree and that sounded prudent as I was not a rookie.
If checking out a new place with sparse intel, would be very conservative and wait until the end, etc.
Stay safe,
