What....2.6 ??? Take your money elsewhere and get a pretty in-call escort. Also, besides the house fee, I never pay or negotiate tips upfront. Never. I tell them I pay the tip based on the service received. It works for me 100% of the time. If they continue to haggle and be a pain in the ass, I tell them to give me my house fee back and I am leaving. They ALL, immediately back down. I hate hate the upfront haggling. You guys keep forgetting you are the customer. If they provide good service I feel good and compensate accordingly. I been going to here for awhile, so most know me and will never haggle anymore. Trust me here, you guys need to stop falling for this crap. Take control. Would you go to a restaurant and pay the tip before you eat???? Stop being weak. Even CiCi who is the biggest pain in my opinion, never haggles me up front anymore.
Not to dispute what you say, but when I hear "They All", i think there is some 'rounding" taking place, or maybe not.
The restaurant analogy is not accurate. At a restaurant like Delmonico's in NYC, you pay the menu price. You don't pay $25 for the steak and tip what you feel it is worth. I think too many patrons would say, that was the best, here is a $20 tip.
These ladies provide a service and then you expect them to 'hope' you tip what they expect. That is why many request the tip in advance. In NYC many places have fixed prices to avoid this situation., and request payment in advance.
Another analogy, I had my house re-roofed. I paid his fees based on his reviews. He did not say, after I do your roof, please pay me what you think the job was worth to you.
My response is a bit long, but these comments about fees and tips don't make sense to me.
