Tip etiquette

Hey guys. Recently hit up a NYC spot for the first time. I am Philly based and have been a monger for years. Actually moved away from the traditional AMP scene to the private agencies for the past 3 years.

Now I already know the basics of tipping, good service gets more and all that. Just wanted to check if I have been doing things right or wrong the whole time or if NYC just does things different.

Where I am from normal spots are around 160-200 plus tip. Agencies have a significant increase in the 300s. The way I have been doing it and with no problems this whole time is at the agencies I would consider that increase basically as the tip. So I would rarely tip extra on top of this

Basically at this new york spot it was 320 and me not knowing I was supposed to tip more I didnt bring much change. Only had a 50 so I gave them that. Then they wanted even more.

This is already pretty expensive in my eyes but now I am feeling like a jerk because some of my favorite girls who I am regulars with both NYC and Philly, I rarely tipped them after the session. They always seemed to like my repeats and never complained about my lack of tipping though.

So my final question is at the agencies both NYC and in general do you tip more after the original 300,320,350,380 cover fees? My answer is rarely whatever is in my pocket 10-30.

There are a few threads here that offer insight on tipping etiquette; but good question nonetheless. Aside from a few ladies that pass through KG, 320 (+/-) seems to be the norm here. I typically throw 40 or 50 on top of the rate.
Back in the Rosehouse days I always threw Kelly a C-Note. God Damn I miss her. Where is she now?? Anyone know?

She works the casino circuit in Connecticut.

Honestly man, not sure where you got the etiquette from, but I have never understood why guys think it it obligatory to tip at these agencies. I have left tips above the 300 or 320 or 350 because the service or session in general was really really good. No different than a place where it's 80 house and 160 or 200 tip, and if the girl is great I might leave a little extra. But you not "supposed" to or "obliged" to tip if the service is average or so-so or worse.

You shouldn't feel like a jerk. If the girls you saw as regulars were always happy with you it was probably sincere. You kept coming back, and that is the best thing for them. If this place you went to was hounding you for tips, maybe it's because they didn't expect or care that you came back regularly. That should tell you something by itself.

Occasionally I’ll leave a tip, when I’m feeling generous or I click with the girl and she makes good conversation, in other words I connect on a personal level and we get along. Usually .4 if I do…unless I’m paying for extras. If I’ve been up sold then I consider that to be her tip.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought at 320 to 400 an hour, that the tip was already built into the price.

Do you tip your lawyer or doctor that pretty much charges the same amount per hour as these girls?

Tips are for waiters, bell hops, delivery drivers and people that depend on tips to make a living. Not for people making the money per hour these girls are making.

For legit massage you are expected to tip 20% just like a waiter or barber. This make it a little it a cross over I think. Since I normally go to rub and tug my rule of them is 20% or the up sale I agreed to what ever is more.

20% of the house fee at R&T is not enough. Typically $40 to $60 for just a HE is appropriate.

Looks like it. If you happen to stumble upon that angel please drop me a line.
Thx.
Have seen her photo in ads for SNtherapy in Danbury, and a recent review here for a "hot" Kelly that fit her description, at that establishment.
Can't confirm, but on a rare occasion they do get a gem. Her allowable service there will probably be toned down from what you might be accustomed to......but who knows, since you know her.
I've not been to provider for 18 months, so really out of the loop. 3,4,5 yrs ago "knew" her very well (as a friend) but only spoke once in past 3 yrs since her best friend and I broke-up. If you connect, please let me know how she is doing. She deserves better.

I usually tip $40 or more if she does extras. I know some have strong feelings about not tipping and to each their own. But tipping and becoming known at a spot as a tipper gets me in with who I want to see easier and faster. And if I ever go to another place I have no problem getting a referral from girls I've seen in the past. Makes life easier and the extras flow. :p

What kind of extras do you recommend tipping for?
