tipping comment was to invite punters to actually think about the fact that regardless how much they pay for a girl ... only a portion of it actually goes to the girl if she is working for an agency and that indy's have overheads to cover. It was to get the gentleman who punt at the lower end of the market to consider from their $150.... the girl may be taking only 70, 80 or 90 dollars. That sort of money for full service makes me feel really sad for those girls as I know how many bookings they actually have to do to make ok money. It is little wonder there is such a high turnover of girls in this price bracket. I have NEVER requested, expected or taken a tip or gift for granted. My clients that don't tip get the same pesonalised service as those that do. I agree that tipping should never be enforced and should only ever as a token of gratitude for a job well done. And I think if you asked anyone here that knows me... they would tell you that I am as real as it gets as a person with real goals, and personality etc... and I see and treat my clients exactly the same way. I disagree that warning bells should go off with a large tip or gift... not all the time...its situation dependent. Some guys just roll that way. Yes of course have your feelers out for warning
