I saw a provider who's working with an agency.  At the end of the session, the provider asked me if I brought any tip for her.  I was bit dumbfounded and felt guilty because I didn't bring any extra cash with me.

Is it a normal etiquette to "tip" a provider on top of the regular fee?  Does it make a difference if the provider is an independent or working with an agency?

Do providers usually expect a tip?

So yes, it's nice to tip the agency girl.

Tips are always optional and based on the service you received.
With that said, I generally will tip an agency girl unless service was subpar.
They have to split with agency so the amount they keep is often less
Than what an Indy lady gets.
. Sometimes i also tip an Indy girl.  
I've never had a lady ask me for a tip.

This provider was an independent for a while and started working with an agency recently.  I also let her know beforehand that I was a newbie.

I am always pleasantly surprised when I get tips, no matter the size... It shows me the guy had fun, and thought I earned it.  
You should only tip a provider if she went over the top of her normal service, or made you feel extra special, or did a service, she does not normally do..  

You'll get many answers to this question but the bottom line is no you don't have to tip and the provider asking for one is Not ok.

I am happy as long as they pay and dont short me! But if they do tip, it always makes me smile, I am happy that they thought I was good enough to get one, and it the client most definitely is logged mentally as a guy I want to keep seeing!

First, yes, it's always rude to ask. But most agencies take 40-50% of the donation, and many still make the girl cover her own incall expenses, so I don't really see how that's different that the NV brothel situation, where the take a big cut but provide location, etc. If I were a hobbyist, I'd tip every agency girl that I had a good experience with; especially if you plan on repeating/becoming a regular, I'd say your likely to get a more enthusiastic experience if the lady thinks she's 'auditioning' for extra $$.

...I have NEVER had a provider ask.  That is just....inappropriate.

Most women have a tip built in to their rates when they are average or higher, so if you felt the service was mind blowing, sure. No, asking is totally tacky and you should have slapped her ass and said "Don't eat yellow snow....there is your tip" lol. Joke. Don't smack her.

"... start doing kegals. Every day."

100% INDEPENDENT!

Do agency providers really rely on tips that much?.. or are you being sarcastic?

Asking for a tip is not proper etiquette by her but I have had it asked before as well.

I usually tell my guys my donations are inclusive and tips are never required but always appreciated

....such as myself, tell our gentlemen friends, that the best tip one can receive, is be chosen for a future date.  

I've been wondering this myself. Glad someone brought it up. What I've been doing with the past 5 or 6 gals I've seen is this:  If I've been pleased with the service, which I have been, I have a gift card, usually $25, that I'll give them on my way out. Like a Starbucks or Panera, or something like that. They can use it as they like and its basically a token gesture of appreciation. But I also figure (at least I hope) it'll help them to remember me when they're being used as a reference - "oh yeah, the guy who gave me the gift card, he's safe and worth seeing."  So, for whatever that's worth.

If she is actually having to rent a room, she has made 50 bucks, if that. The agency does not pay for your room out of their fee, unless they have private locations set up, like I do. I take 60 bucks a call from my girls, and that's it. Most take half.

But really, if they are gonna have the gall to take half, the best be providing the incall, ALL of her advertising, and if touring all the transport to get there....

I provide the incalls and only charge per call for the location, not the "pimp" fee lol.

of course they should get a tip.
