Hey so wanted to ask about this. I see that k-girls mention tipping but I don't know what the guidelines are. Are you always supposed to tip? Do you tip for special services? Is there some guideline or rule I should know? I was always under the impression the rate would include everything, but maybe I've been naive and need some educating. Also does tipping get you preferential treatment, etc?

Some guys think it results in better service. Some don't. It's as simple as that. I hope this doesn't explode into one of those raging arguments from the past - lol

I used to go by the “tip by repeating” rule.  

The advice I gave five years ago on this board.  Rates have gone up a little, so you may want to proportionally adjust your tip.  At that time, from the pushback I got, its safe to say that the majority of older Kgirl veterans did not tip.   But today, I think more mongers tip than don't.  Its an individual choice.  I wrote a prior piece on the benefits of tipping, but I'll let you look that one up on your own.  

I don't tip!  I put it in all the way, balls deep!!!!

So generally, I'll say don't tip unless you really want to. If you think a tip will change her service, then likely you'll be disappointed. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I haven't found the tip mattering much. I've had mediocre service with a tip, and a oh-my-God-my-knees-are-weak service without any tip.  
And that service did not become any better when I did add a tip.  

Girls, especially kgirls, are relatively good at reading people. No, they won’t be able to do a full MBTI on you. But they are pretty good at telling what kind of monger you are.  

And, I never tip.  I read various discussions on tipping when i was new with K-girls and at the time I gathered that tipping by repeating was the way to go, so I've just done it that way.  I have seen several K-girls 2-4 or more times and if I thought they were great the first time the second and third visits were great, too.  There was one exception where the service didn't improve on repeated visits, but there was something about that one that kept me coming back anyway.  Hmmm.  Should I have tipped her?

This is fairly consistent with my take as well.

I really want to thank everyone for their feedback. I apologize and I didn't know I was opening a can of worms. I respect that everyone has their own take on the subject matter and I think this is one of those to each their own. Whether you tip or not is your business. I can see how there's different schools of thought on the subject and I haven't been as active in the hobby since lockdown. I don't know if these other factors, but some girls do wardrobe requests and also may offer more, etc. I just want to be respectful of the bookers and then especially the girls. I've always had good experiences within the k-girl community. I also wanted to see if it was standard practice, which I see it might not be. I used to work in the restaurant industry and there are just some things you pick up when you work behind the scenes. I didn't know if I was offending anyone by not tipping or if it was expecting. I hope all of you have fun mongering and I'll continue to have fun and tip or not tip on the way.

I don't think anyone was offended, and everyone kept it very civil

This is about as nice and polite a thread as you will see on this board, but then again this is not exactly known as a "nice and polite" board. lol

your relationship with the booker than it does the girl.  For the booker, you're the holy grail.  He does the same amount of work, but makes twice the money.   Who wouldn't like that deal?  Lol

It’s a “tricky” issue. I used to wonder if left a tip for a good session then saw the girl again would she expect the same tip even if the session wasn’t as good? Would she be offended if the amount wasn’t the same?  I overthought it. Now  because I don’t see many girls more than once I just tip if the session was memorable. That’s just me...

when tipping.   Once you tip, if you start repeating, you should keep tipping. That's why I always tip.  If its a repeat and she is not giving me her best effort as she always does, then I will take a month or two off.  I may try her again, and if she asks me why I have been away so long, I am absolutely blunt and tell her the last time I didn't think she was giving me her best service, and there are other girls who ALWAYS give me their best session possible.  After that, either she steps up or she doesn't.  If not, Sayonara.  Never forget that THEY are the seller, and WE are the buyers.  They have to make us WANT to come back.

I’m apparently more of a jerk than you are. I tip when expectations are exceeded. Period. Some girls always exceed expectations. On those rare occasions that things seem off I don’t tip. And I take a break from seeing the girl.  

where I did not tip at all, and it was when the session was so-bad I knew I would never be back even if she was the only Kgirl left on earth.  I want to maintain my reputation with the bookers as a consistent tipper, because I want the perks that go with it.  If the service is below average, then I will not repeat, but I will still tip SOMETHING, but maybe lower than my usual amount.   I have told girls that if I don't tip, it means I'm not ever coming back, so in return for a tip they can bank on as soon as I walk through the door, I EXPECT the best service they have to offer.

Just curious, did you leave a public review, whether it was a board mini or a full-fledged review, for these two times?

What perks would those be, other than prebooking and the booker's recommendation?

I DID  review both of them on AF when I was reviewing there.  So what?

for me is scheduling.  I must work my sessions around my business appointments.  Some days i have more flexibility than others, but I have never been one to book same-day appointments, and usually I'm booking one to three days out.  Most bookers don't like more than one day in advance, because shit happens and they know the farther in advance they book, the higher percentage of cancellations there will be.   Oftentimes, I will book Tuesday and Thursday on the weekend.  As a courtesy, I will always reconfirm 24 hours in advance, and I have only had to cancel a half dozen times in the last ten years, out of 1600+ sessions, so they are okay with my extended pre-booking.  

I simply wasn’t going to answer this question. Because, in my experience, every time I do people start getting upset about “preferential treatment” and a heated and pointless argument ensues.

I was asked directly, and there's nothing to hide.   Priority is a reality of the business.  Priority comes from bookers who I am booking with 3-6 times a month,  so there are only four of those right now.  Other bookers that I use 3-4 times a year are not going to give me preferential treatment, which just means the same four are going to get even more of my business.  I have been "bumped" before with the bookers I'm low volume with because there are other customers who are more valuable to them.  I can't complain about that.  Its a fact of life in this biz.  

You tippers, IMO, fuck it up for the budget monger.

Nothing, I just asked you whether you did. Good thing you did.  

I’ve heard that argument over and over for nearly 20 years. It simply doesn’t make sense.  

I'm kind of curious, how it might work if the time is taken by someone who tips $100 or if the $100 tipper requests a time that you have. I would guess if it's strictly money she'll go with the bigger tip. And, if it's sex she will also go with the bigger tip, lol! I also guess chemistry can be a factor. If you're well liked you would get picked for the time requested. I've been given priority, to request in advance a week or so before and that has been guaranteeing I get the time I want, but I don't think I've ever bumped anyone.

I hope it leaves them enjoying the Kgirl scene! On whatever level or to the best of their ability that they can with the resources they have! I'd hate to think anyone wasn't getting the best & most fun out of seeing these wonderful Kgirls! If it's once a month or every hour, I always tell myself, self, no scratch that! I say don't get greedy and I am more then happy with my situation in the Kgirl world!

I've said it many times tipping is for  low end workers such as waiter, waitresses, Uber drivers, etc. Some say tipping is for any service. Well then maybe we should tip our doctors, dentists and psychiatrists. How  does that sound.  I've never tipped and I agree with another post  in this thread.  The best tip is a return visit and a good review. If one good review gets them just one new customer that would be more than any tip you may be considering. Sometimes we have a tendency to overthink things.

I respect your input userbro; but you are in the tipping millionaires group.  I respectfully disagree with your assessment.

Thanks Twoon, I guess you mean where I am in the monetary scheme of things. I once went to a friends house and sat down on her soft overstuffed couch. She gave me some iced tea and asked  if I was comfortable! I told her, I make a living!  

Then what in the world to you think that a “tipping millionaire” has done to make your experiences less enjoyable?

yet, I rarely tip in Cash, mostly by Repeating & Reviewing.  Booker's always accept my appointment a week in advance, and  simply comment 'please confirm the morning of' - and in my 20+ years, I can't recall ever being denied my appointment that I scheduled a week earlier ...

Twoon, I'm flattered you're interested in my input, no joke.

I don't really tip, but I wonder if I've been doing it implicitly as I'm basically leaving a $60-$80 tip every session due to the difference in price between the EC and WC...

Is tipping communicated to the booker as doesn't the entirety of it go to the girl? Seems to me like priority status with bookers would come from frequent bookings, not tipping (if you don't have a privileged relationship with the girl in question).

Things must be different on the WC. I visit one place about 6-8 times a month but have yet to experience any preferential treatment from the booker. The girls, on the other hand, always treat me well lol.

kinds of perk with that volume at ONE org.  If you're not, then I can only guess its because of a lack of competition.  In SoCal, we have about 15-20 orgs at any given time.  I'm not sure how many are currently in the BA, but its seems like its usually about 6-10 whenever I start looking for someone to see.  Maybe one of the guys from NorCal can give a more accurate figure.  If there are plenty of mongers and fewer agency options, the bookers don't have to treat some of their customers as VIP's to keep them coming.  With limited options, where else are they going to go?
