Should the guys that tip "expect" extras (time, activities ect ect) for tipping because in my opinion if you tip it's to show appreciation not to gain favoritism. How many of you guys tip so that you can get extras? How would you providers react if a client that tipped started asking for more time or activities or for you to "hang out"?

Not that all providers are this way but it's been my experience that when I tipped it made no difference once so ever. In fact the ones I tipped started expecting it and asking me for "help".

Does not tipping or bringing gifts make providers think a client is a "cheap ass"?

No it doesnt make you a cheap ass EA , I said you could pick some free flowers

, its just a nice gesture that's not required whatsoever

Some do , some don't, no biggie. I just know it makes me feel really good when they do

IMO

I am a cheap ass. I seldom tip on a first date, but I will bring the tip for the EXCEPTIONAL service with the fee for the following date.

I guess I am arrogant as well, I consider repeat visits as a form of tipping.

Am I wrong, tipping is for exceptional service? That said, what constitutes exceptional service? (I know this is a topic for another thread.)

I went to an eye doctor a couple of weeks ago and I wish she would have offered that as part of the appointment. She was sitting close during the eye exam, right in front of me, and wearing a very nice low-cut top, displaying just a bit of cleavage. She told me to look up several times, and to each side. It was much easier when she told me to look down.

I felt like I should have left a tip.

In all fairness,

Just as there are things that will make Gents not want to return to a lady. There is a list of things that will keep you from being a regular visitor of mine. So the tipping has little to do with that.

I'm sure there are ladies who if the guy tips enough will put up with bad behavior and what not. I am not one of them.

I may just be reading your inquiry all wrong Eccie Addict.

As for attorney's I hear they fuck every one. Nothing special there.

I'm just saying , here lately a guy is more likely to show up a little short on cash then he is to show up with a potential tip in his pocket.

You can do better than that Abe

Now jessy if guys show up short on cash then I'd day they are cheap asses and deserve to be treated as such. People make mistakes. It only happened once but my ass actually left the house without money or any way to get money and didn't realize it till I was close. She said come on anyway and I took care of her the next day. But showing up short is crap.

I agree lawyers do fuck everyone lol. Quite a few doctors do too so my examples sucked but that's all they were was examples

IMO definitions of cheap would be....

1) haggling rates

2) only seeing you when you run specials

3) always abusing your time and never conpensating you on it in any way

4) expecting to be grandfathered when you up your rates

5) expecting to only have to pay your "special" rate even when they've always paid regular rates

I'm sure there's plenty more. I think that if a guy chooses not to tip or simply can't afford to tip should not put him in the "cheap" catagory. Sometimes guys decide not to tip based on being taken advantage of each time they did. What's wrong with a guy deciding he doesn't want to go down that road anymore.....

Just my opinion and we all know what they say about those lol.

I find this a "CHEAP ASS" behavior. And yeah I will consider him a "blue light shopper". Because he is not even prepared to tip no matter what service he gets. I understand not taking your whole paycheck in, but really.

Two different things Jessy. You appear to be backpedaling away from your original statement. If a guy shows up short of cash then yes, by all means he's a cheap ass, but that's not what you said originally. You said if he didn't tip or wasn't prepared to tip (assuming he left the full amount but no extra) he was a cheap ass.

You ladies are in the enviable position of setting your own rates, just as any self-employed professional is. If you want to make more money, raise your rates or generate more business. Any business in operation from the largest to the smallest operates exactly the same. The free-market will decide for you where the sweet spot is for your level of service.

But to call everyone that does not tip a cheap-ass is pretty short-sighted as a marketing campaign, in my opinion (every post you make here is marketing). EA and I caught it and I promise you lots of others did as well. Of course, it is YOUR business to run in any way you see fit.

Just my 2 cents.

Do you really believe that? I mean we can concentrate enough just reading ads and websites do you really believe we can concentrate while in the presence of an actual woman lol.

This makes SO much sense. Well said, Chica!

So you don't give him what he wants all the time lol j/k

I'm assuming that you're saying that you do more than what you advertise or what's in your reviews if you get a tip?
