Title: Tipping
Post by: Oddball on December 09, 2014, 02:53:28 PM
Yeah, I know this has been discussed before, but I didn't feel like doing the necro thread thing...

I recently had a very enjoyable party at Inez's (with Linda).  Even though Inez's has a fixed rate ($300/hr) for the 'basic party', I've been known to tip extra from time to time if I really enjoy the party.

Short form, I tipped an extra $40 at the end of the party, as Linda went 'out of her way' to keep me aroused whenever the opportunity presented itself. I considered $50 but I only had $40 in spare bills on me...

Quick note: I've always had very good/excellent parties when I've partied at Inez's, even with the 'fixed' pricing.  Same for Shady Lady.

I've tipped I'd guess probably around half the time in my LPIN parties, if the gal(s) gave me a great party and if I had negotiated a lower rate for that party.  If the negotiated price is something I consider as 'high/out of my comfort zone', I generally do not tip in those situations.  Otherwise, tipping extra for great service just makes sense to me.

I never mention that I might tip beforehand, that way I don't feel obligated if the party was what I might consider as 'fairly typical' for me.  Also, if I'm short on cash, I might not be able to give a monetary tip.  I always pay cash for my parties, so I'm limited to what I have on me.  Sometimes I'll tip extra during a followup party if I felt the previous party was worth extra to me.


Just curious as to how many Mongers out there have recently tipped the gals extra after a party, for good/excellent/killer parties?

I  tipped 20% when I went to Inez's.  For the service they provide, those girls deserve a tip.

If there were any LPIN ladies anywhere who deserved a tip, it would be the ladies at Inez's!
Great service with a great price keeps the guys coming back to Inez's.

I also tip "for exceptional service".  But the fastest way to NOT make me tip is if a lady "asks" for it before the party.   Then  I show her my wallet (with EXACTLY the amount of the party in it) and say "sorry". 

If I do tip, its AFTER the party, then give her the bills with a "knowing" smile without saying a work.   Only in about 10% of the cases will a lady open her mouth.....   ::)

The lady may have been told by her house to request tips before the party.

Is that so they can potentially hear it, if it's offered?

BINGO!

My way, they (the house) gets nothing.
Firefighters way, they "may" get a percentage.

Sorry, a tip is for the lady...

I almost always give a tip. Once my mind was on another planet after a party with Nikata (from Kitty's fame) and I forgot but made up for it next party.   At the MLBR a long time ago, a lady and I couldn't come to terms so I proceded to walk when she asked for money to compensate for her lost time.  I politely said no way but it didn't sit well with me at all.

One thing I don't recall seeing mentioned or missed is that of some ladies who have tip jars or signs pushing for tips. Doing this is poor to bad manners and insults many customers as it says tips are demanded not earned by good service.

The best tip is repeat business... some of the best ladies I've partied with, instead of a tip, I've just partied with them MANY MANY times.

Isn't the best tip a lot of money so they don't have to see you (or anyone) ever again.

True, but I don't even come close to that amount of money needed to do just that.

  I usually do not tip but do usually get her a drink in the parlor afterwards.

Hmmmm....   A $5.00 drink as a tip for a great $500.00 party.  That comes to 1%......   

Way to go big spender!    ::)

I have been told by the ladies that LPIN is Disneyland for adults. Do you tip at Disneyland?

At their restaurants, yes.  To their tour guides, yes.  To their auto care guys (when locked out of your car, flat tire, etc ) yes.  To their caddy's at the golf courses, yes.    And on and on. 

(In other words, bad analogy )

Last month I had my garage rewired. It cost $500 but since all the lights and outlets worked, I tipped the electrician $50. Now I'm worried that wasn't enough, and that he's calling me cheap behind my back, so for Christmas I'm sending him red roses and a $50 gift card.

I have a problem tipping someone who sets their own price and makes 10X more an hour than I do

I'm sure if you ever decided to become a prostitute you could make way more an hour than you do now.   Of course the money flows from male clients.  Perhaps then, you would have a better understanding and appreciation for the people who tip their sex provider.

Tipping has gotten way out of control in this country, it's time it went back to those who deserve it and need it to live.

What he said. The current culture of looking for handouts rather than going out and looking for work wants people to feel guilty if they don't tip every slack jawed idiot sitting behind a service window with a paper cup labeled TIPS.

Tipping,should be done as  recognition to those who provide service beyond what is expected ..
Not for just for doing your job for which you're already being paid to do.

There appears to be a bit of confusion or blurring of lines between what one would give someone like a restaurant server (a gratuity), as compared to what you might give a contractor that has exceeded the goals and expectations of a project (a bonus). The restaurant servers salary is almost always based on the assumption of tips as part of their compensation package (and taxed accordingly), but the contractors salary in general does not factor in the possibilty of a bonus.  A subtle difference perhaps, but significant.

I agree with Bobbi. There is such a thing as a tipping a good attitude. I automatically tip restaurant servers 15 % but if I am happy which is most of the time, I go to 20 % and if ecstatic (not often) 25 %. Sort of the same here except that the tipping starts at none for the regular job (as in 15 % for the waitress being the "standard" pay with no tip even though it is called a tip. I look at it as part of my bill.) maybe 15 or 20 % for above average effort.  If she pushed me up a hundred in the first place, probably no tip unless I got to know her and started thinking I wanted to build an ongoing appreciation.
I tip contractors sometimes, my barber nearly every time. But is never any good unless it comes from the heart.  A smart LPIN will draw that out of a lot of guys without trying too hard.

BINGO...

In our world, I tip ONLY if the party is "above and beyond".   Then I am pretty damn generous.  Any woman who can "Wow" ME, deserves a tip.  (Then again any woman who WANTS to "wow" me, REALLY deserves one!  )

I find it both humorous and a turnoff when a lady asks for a tip before the party has even taken place which has happened to me on a few occasions.  For the ladies that provided me with a great party and a wonderful attitude, I've sent them gifts on special occasions like birthdays, valentine's day, etc.   I've also brought gifts to the ladies I'm repeating with or have gotten to know quite some time before my next trip to the houses.

I don't tip actual cash and have never been asked for
One however I do buy gifts,post reviews, recommend ladies etc.
My Atfs over the years have gotten gift cards, stuffed animals, outfits etc
I have found that those things are appreciated.

Repeat parties are the best tip, and much more meaningful!!!
