That has happened to me many times. I have had a lot of people try to pretend that they didn't know the rate. I know they can read. I now count the money in front of them. I know it seems rude but if they act like children I will treat them accordingly. I am nice and try not to be rude but I also have to look out for me. I am sure they would count it if they were me.
I was browsing the boards today, and I found this in Boston. I hope all clients take the time to read it...
Well, you know the three biggest lies ever told:
1. I'll pay you tomorrow.
2. The check is in the mail.
3. No I will not come in your mouth.

Why did you want all clients to read this? Suggestions on how to end relationships with long time providers? Lessons on how to cheat your friends?
Yes, those behaviors are bad, but nothing shocking!
People will do what ever you allow them to do to you. Thats why my rule of thumb is, in God we trust, all others pay cash.
As much as we would all like to tust our clients totally, this is a business and should be conducted as such. I agree with Donna, sorry if it looks rude (to count the money) but it is good business sense. She learned a hard and expensive lesson that at one time or another all of us had to learn.

It should only take one bad experience for any us before we start counting money in front of clients. While I feel bad for the ladies who have repeated situations of getting "ripped-off", the first time is someone else's fault, everytime thereafter is hers!
This goes beyond getting ripped-off though. Perhaps if all of the ladies create the proper trends and set standards for themselves and others, none of this S*#T would happen...including gossip and protecting each other from LE or undesireable clientle.
CHECK REFERENCES, COUNT MONEY, AND LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER. WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM...MAKE THE RULES, DON'T FOLLOW SOMEONE ELSE'S. AND NEVER, EVER, FEEL THAT YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO COMPROMISE YOUR WELL BEING OR YOUR LIFE. WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE MONEY AROUND THE CORNER!!!
There's a few things I'd like to "rip-off" Kandee.........
You bad boy...you looking to get spanking
Get Real and be a gentleman. You do not "Rip Anything Off" Kandee. If you do, you will be the last.
I'm being very real and, if you need verification you complete clown, ask Kandee herself, I'm more of a gentlemen than you'll ever be. Maybe you should let the adults share an inside joke and head back to the kids' table.
The reason I wanted clients to read this was for the note at the bottom....
"so next time a provider count money in front of you, think twice before you get offended."
I have seen a lot of reviews and posts where guys comment on how "tacky" or "uncomfortable" it makes them when the girl asks for the money first, and then proceeds to verify it in front of them. If a client feels like that, he should understand why girls do that.
That is one thing I have noticed about most clients. It is very hard for you to realize that there are some real scumbags out there that ruin it for the rest of you. Just because you are a good, honest, and respectable person, does not make every client as morally sound.
As for the money thing, put the money down and then excuse yourself to the bathroom to freshen up. Makes a lot of sense from all angles, and has been mentioned before as the most comfortable way to get around the money issue. Of course, this is combined with seeing girls that have been established as honest providers.
I always put the money down first and use the rest room. I am just so excited. I have never seen anyone that no one else had seen. For her to rob me would ruin her in the world I hobby. Besides they always love me and I always love them. It is so fun.
