TheDon. Well of course we expect out of towners to tip while we don't have to. What a question! We neeeeeeeeeeeed your money, it's good for our economy. Every tip dollar you leave is good not only for the girl, but also for the whole economy. Think about it for a second. When you give a tip we are 2 million here saying "thank yo, you are TheKing". If that is not a good enough reason...
Should I tip an SP?

Question(s) about proper SP tipping
Hello all, happy boxing day =)
I am a casual/infrequent hobbyist, so apologies in advance if my question on how and how much to tip SPs is somewhat stupid. I know that tipping for any service in general (at restaurants, your doorman, parking attendant, etc) is discretionary and depends entirely on the person and the level of service actually provided. I am generally the kind of person who likes to tip the market going rate (i.e. 15% on my restaurant bill, excluding wine) so as to not offend anybody, at the same time not give away money carelessly to try to look like a baller. I've browsed around the site for threads on this topic but came up empty handed.
So my questions are:
1) Is tipping for SPs expected (i.e. if u dont tip, you are a cheap a-hole and the girl would never want to see you again)?
2) What is the market going tip for an AVERAGE encounter? (i.e. decent effort on the SP's part, friendly service, but nothing over the top?) Generally for a $180/$190 booking rate I just give $200 but have seen members here tipping much more.
3) I generally give the donation at the beginning of the encounter. Should I leave the tip at the beginning with the donation, or wait til the end as reward for good service?
4) If the SP provided satisfactory service, but i was dissatisfied with other parts of the encounter (i.e. booker was a jerk, SP delivered egregiously late), should I still leave a tip?
Thanks

No, definitely not. I hardly ever tip, but I've had lots of girls who wanted to see me again. The secrets are cleanliness and good manners. I bet you do just fine in those areas, given that your post here shows a very un-Merb-like degree of thought and consideration for others.:thumb:
I would say the usual tip for an average encounter is $0. Base pay for SP work is so high that a tip ought to be for something special.
Definitely wait until the end unless you know the girl and are confident that you are about to click once more.
Sure, if you think the girl's service deserves it. No reason she should suffer just because the other people can't do their jobs.
Some more about my philosophy of tipping. We tip waiters, car attendants, hair cutters and bell boys. We don't tip chiropractors, physical trainers, accountants, lawyers or doctors. Why? Because people in the second group make a nice hourly pay rate, whereas people in the first group don't.
SPs fall into the high-pay group. Therefore we don't normally tip them. But sometimes we make an exception. Why? Two reasons. 1) The work does take a lot out of a person. 2) If an SP does her job very well, odds are that you're going to like her and want to make her especially happy.
