DIY tipping

[pamassageguy]

Not a big fan of diy but with exploring new places I have run into it. If I pass I usually leave $20.

Is the standard a $40 tip for diy?

I would tip .2 for diy and .4 for a handy.

 

[Sardu]

Fuck NO

 

[grepel]

Are you giving the tip to yourself?

 

[Boogie]

Does a decent massage deserve a tip?

Somewhere in between depending how much they assist/participate...

I agree with softball3

yes they deserve a tip. Why bother going to an AMP, then get all concerned you need to tip, if that's the case stop eating at restaurants and eat pb&j

You sound ignorant for saying you would not tip IMO. The tip is what the lady makes for the session. House fee goes to house.
A .2 tip for a solid massage and no diy is fine in my book. If you don’t tip you’re just an ass. DIY or no diy she deserves something for her work. I do .4 but understand if you do .2

I’ve had a few DIY or nothing at all. I’ll still tip .2, which is a 33% tip if the hf is .6. I know I could go to places that are a sure thing, and sometimes I do. But it’s about the trill of the hunt. While I’m lying in the table, I wonder how far I’ll get, that’s the exciting part for me. Sure it’s a let down if nothing happens or a DIY, but not all hunts are successful.

They definitely deserves a tip. How much depends how well of a job she did. A really good massage is worth a really good tip. If you can't afford it, don't participate.

Many R&T shops give the masseuse a cut out of the house fee because they get tipped less. Everyone should tip for legit massage and then more appropriately depending on service.

I tip 20% or more for a legit massage by a licensed therapist. I guess I would follow the same tipping rule for DIY at an AMP, but have never run into this situation and that's really not the type of experience I'm looking for at an AMP.

 

[softball3]

I attempted that once, (the very first time only), but 20% is pretty meager (~$12). Unless a very poor massage, for me it's a min of $20 for therapeutic., regardless of the actual percentage.

 

[kfischer]

"...20% or more..." but I take your point

For me, more = much more for great service or attitude

 

[Dogguy83]

.2 for DIY
.4 for being handy
.6 for additional participation
.8 for a memorable experience

Let me understand this, some legit spas charge $45/hour, so your 20% tip is $9? Do you give them $10 and ask for change?

 

[dartspool]

I think Dogguy got it correct

I think you're reading my post too literally. I said 20% or more, and usually much more if the massage is at least decent. Legit spas I visit are closer to $75 per hour, so I normally tip $15 to $20 for an average massage from a licensed therapist.
