Been a while since we had a blog post.  So, here it is.

I heard the following the other day that the acronym for TIPS is To Insure Proper Service.  This kind of thinking would make sense for tipping upfront to make sure that the services rendered are good.  In this hobby, we have all been to providers where the “Tipping” is done in different ways.  Here are the 3 scenarios.  What do you guys think is the right way?

1.    Tipping upfront: Putting it out there that there is more money to be had once will entice the person to be tipped to work harder.  If the provider does not give the level of service that you believe deserves the extra tip, then most likely you will not go back to that provider.  Fool me once, but never again. 

2.    Tipping at the end:  In this situation, you hold the right to provide whatever tip the service warranted. The service provider has to work for it to get a tip at the end.    

3.    No Tip: The donation is enough.  In a world where these girls are making $200-$300 an hour, its more than generous for the time spent.    Or that the donation builds the tip into that initial cost.
