Okay... I take it that guys read my donation rates on my website. I do not discuss the donations at all but I had a session booked w/ a new guy I had not seen before, and before anything I glanced in the envelope. It was short a little. I asked him for the rest and he kinda made a (uuughhh) sound but brought out the rest.

How should I politely ask if he read my donation rate on my website, being that I do not discuss donations unless its w/ a repeat.....?

Thanks,
Ashley Stone

I am assuming you were not runnings any specials?  I ran into that problem, with a provider.  She posted specials and in my visit I placed that amount in the envelope.  She e-mailed me later and said the envelope was short.  When I told her of the special, she asked, where did you see my ad? She stated it was a special for that day only but when I e-mailed I mentioned her special.  Her retort, since I rsponded on her site, those rates apply.  You mean, if I would have responded through EROS (where I saw the specials) I would have gotten those rates?

BTW, how could you see an envelope short?  Are you the Bionic Woman?

Hobbyist...re-read her post--she says she looked IN the envelope.

I have the same issue with some clients--either an oversight (undersight?) or a sad attempt at scamming....

I thought she said glanced at, I reread, your are correct

That sounds 'jenky' for sure.  Along the same lines there are a few considerations a gent might want to keep in mind.  There are several sites, Cityvibe included, who post ads on their site for providers without  the provider's prior knowledge or content approval.  They get their information from other ads the provider posted and will therefore post a rate or other info incorrectly.  For instance, I tour and a site put a visiting ad up for me using the info from my Las Vegas ads.  My rate in Las Vegas is more than my rate in the area I was visiting.  Another consideration is that sometimes a provider will provide a special to members of a specific board.  I would think anyone who sends an e-mail mentioning they saw the posted special would receive the discounts as they saw it on that board.  Not sure what happened to you.

Oh, and I can look at a stack 20's and usually know if it's 300 or 400 or short 100 or whatever.  No, I am not psychic and it's not exact, of course.  But those that have been providing and dealing with donations over a period of time can often tell when it's short from a little distance.  I have seen many providers post on private boards something along the lines of, 'He set the money on the dresser and I could see that it was short so I asked him if  it was all 20's and he said yes.  Well, I don't usually count the money in front of him but I did this time and sure enough - 80 short.'

Excuse yourself to the bathroom and count the money if it's a new guy or of you have had any problems.  Counting money is not rocket science. If an envelope is short it was most likely intentional. My ATF discovered an envelope was $20 short once after the guy had left.  She let it slide because he was a semi-regular and it had never happened before. A couple of appointments later he shorted her $100!

Thank you guys... but yes, when I said I glanced, means I checked it. And intentional sounds more like it to me now.

Thanks for the PM's.

If I was found a special rate, I'd be d*mn sure to let that was what I wanted, where I saw the ad, to avoid embarassment.  I always have the donation ready upon arrival even if not delivered until the conclusion.  (some do, some don't)
A Fav lady of mine had a low rate when I started but raised it several months later.  I noticed & inquired.  She stated that I would keep the original rate.  
If you've got someone & you like the service why would you be so dumb as to cheat them?  Would you accept 1/2 a BJ?  I did't think so!  Creeps like this give real gentlemen a bad name.

If a provider has a website but does not want to discuss donations, a polite technique is just to ask/remind all callers/email to review her website and provide the URL - since often guys calling off an ad may not even be aware of the website unless its disclosed.  

I always check a website before I go to the appointment to see if there have been any changes, or if calling based upon a ad, am sure I let her know that's what/how I'm calling.  I Think its always polite to take a quick bathroom/shower break after arriving and after placing the donation, this gives the provider a discreet chance to check.

If I've made a mistake, I certainly would have no problem with the provider calling it to my attention, either before or after the session.  

For those of us older guys, it is important to wear your reading glasses when filing the envelope - 20s and 50s look the same unless you have your reading glasses on.

You are truly thoughtful, any provider is fortunate to have you!
