WHat is a common tip for service after you have paid for the fee? ie the cost is 250 is it ok to tip around 30 dollars during lunch?  do you base it on time.  For example lunch time gets a worse tip than dinner time.

I have no idea if there is any standard practice, but I usually tip 20% for lower priced SP's ($200 -$250 range) and down to 15% for higher priced ($350 and up).  Time of day has nothing to do with it.

Good question.  I'm curious what others think.

a well thought out gift from a friend is appreciated more than additional financial compensation.

One I've never felt warranted its own thread.

How do you leave the tip? I leave the donation in an envelope that I drop on a table or nightstand at the beginning of the session.  Handing the provider a couple of double sawbucks afterwards seems kinda... wrong.  So I usually slip a modest tip in with the donation and hope for the best.  How else is this handled?

My first session ever with an escort was $270 outcall.. At the end of our date I handed her a $50 which gave her a big smile..gave me a hug and a really really nice kiss.. She loved it.. You can never go wrong with money.. Trust me.. It's all about the money It all comes down to that..

As a newbie I struggled with this ...( I have only been hobbying once) ..... provider was $$$...I am so glad I based it on performance... was mediocre performance.  Glad I waited , based on looks and personality I was going to tip 1/2 $.

but I rarely ever give a tip, and when I do, it is for excellent service, or receiving unexpected extra time.

Don't think that you have to give a tip in order see her again.  If the first session goes well, you are clean, show her some respect, and you provide the stated donation, you have every reason  to expect that you should be most welcome to see her again.

The websites of many ladies, or agencies, say that tips are not required, or expected.  It take such statements as fact.

I agreee with loramaze, if you feel the need to go above and beyond the donation, a thoughtful gift makes a great ice-breaker.  Take a look at Lora's site.  Like many other providers, she has a wish list of favorite things, some expensive, some not so expensive.  Showing up with even the smallest, least expensive item she says she likes, shows her you examined her site beyond the gallary and fee pages, and put some thought into visiting her.

You can tip anyone in the product or service business. But think a moment, you remember the jerks and the people who treated you exceptionally well. The people in the middle kind of get lumped and lost.
Same with tips of money. If you were cheap where you really bargained or were a big spender, you get remembered.
I rarely give gifts of money at holidays or birthdays since it's rare that someone I've given money to, would remember that unless they specifically took my money to buy something they had wanted for a long time.

If you want to make a good, lasting impression, bring a small gift. It doesn't have to be much but it should be well thought out.
Flowers are nice or even a bottle of wine or champagne. But if you bring something out of the ordinary, that will be remembered. Making a CD of favorite songs or...[use your imagination]

I've done this every time and it sets me apart from all the rest of the guys who bring nothing or if they bring a gift, it's usually the typical ones.
AND many times, I do get some special service, above and beyond the norm.
Monetary tips are good and will be appreciated but at the end of the day, all the money goes into one pile and your tip is mixed in, unless you give an enormous tip.
But if you chat a bit, ask the girl what her hobbies are and bring an appropriate book or magazine for example, this will go a long way in making a lasting impression.  

There are a lot more ways to be remembered with little gifts that I do but I'm not going to reveal all my secrets...

It doesn't matter what time of day you have the session. Prices and session are the same, right? Thirty dollars will make you seem cheap. Best to tip better your first visit so she will look forward to seeing you again. Also, you don't want to get a rep for being cheap. Providers do talk when the session is over (at an agency). Tip at least $50.

Im glad everyone has enlightened me on this topic.  I tip based on the service.  I been kinda playing around with the tip lately.  If I get a massage that gets me to drool I will pay 20 percent.  If the girl is all rude and tells me to hurry then I just skip everything and leave and leave no tip.

Always tip. Providers do not care for clients who are cheap no matter how cute/nice you are. It's a business and we work hard. At an agency, we split the fee 50/50 with the agency owner so we appreciate the tip.

How did you get sooo smart? lol. I get attacked for saying the truth. I'm glad you are smart enough to know it's all about the dough!!

No way. We are here for the money not a bottle of wine. You don't forget a client who leaves a nice cash tip.

If she is an agency provider and I know she is only getting half of her $$ or $$$ fare, you bet a 50 tip will bring a big smile. This is done after you have finished and not the same situation as when you first walked in with the fare, so I usually just hand it to them. The higher priced ladies I usually do not tip, but if they were good then I make a point of learning something in conversation to present her with a thoughtful gift my next visit.

I don't tip people who make substantial money from the fee in the beginning.  I certainly don't tip my doctor or my lawyer or my accountant.

I do however tip a cab driver or a waiter or a bell hop since tips are what they live on.  

A prostitute splitting a 350. fee with an agency is still making $175 for maybe 2.5 hours of her time including driving and preparing.  

What I may do is buy a gift card for target or a well known chain restaurant and if the service is outstanding I will give her the gift card when I am done.

Kathy of 48th Street.  Strange, I can't find any reviews of her!  

Like I said before, I rerely tip , and when I do it is for unexpected service and time, not merely showing up.  I have never been refused a 2nd visit.

True enough if you don't tip the girl will still see you again. On the other hand if you leave a tip more than likely the provider will definitely remember you and do more to please you on the next visit. Other than that you're just another one on the assembly line.

True enough I've gotten little trinkets, wine, gift cards, etc. but cash is king.

And you won't be refused a second visit because the girl's still want the money. Just don't expect her to treat you different than any other client.

On my third visit to my ATF, I remembered her favorite color she mentioned in a previous date.  I bought her a nice outfit that was in line with the style of clothes she wears.  Not something to be worn during the date, something for her to wear whenever.  She really like this.

On the second visit, I gave her  a gift card to use.  She was gracious and said thanks. I know it got used,  but the sincere small gift is always best.

Of course, every lady is different.  If your provider doesn't list these extra gifts,  ask generalized questions and figure out something.  You just have to listen.

Kathy... 50/50 with your agency?  No wonder you're so cranky.  try another agency or go indy,  we will all be thankful

I'll even throw in a tip

[ducking, hoping she realizes I am playing]

I try to avoid agency girls.
I know in many cities, the agency girls are your best bet but I'm only now starting to travel just a bit more.
I've had much better session with independent girls.
I've found that their attitudes are better and it's not just all about the money and they really do want to please you and make you a repeat client.

Metalman your reply is perfect.

NO TIPS!!!

I really wish that I would have read some of these posts before my first experience yesterday. I tipped 150 on a 250 initial charge.  But oh well it was a great time.
