If you see an agency lady, you should tip at 50%, which is the normal agency take. If you see an indie, her price should be all-inclusive. Tipping beyond that in terms of $ is at your discretion, though I would make it at least $50 if you feel it is warranted. If she mocked you, and you had a mediocre time, you presumably won't be seeing her again, so I would just move on.
Hi, i was just wondering what is the etiquette on tips? let's say for a 300 donation or 200? I have only seen one provider and she kind of mocked me for giving her a 20 dollar tip? (the service was mediocre btw)
Thanks in advance! Leo

I usually dont tip independent girls and I usually do agency girls if I think they deserve it. I have never tipped 50%. If I were wealthy i would tip well, but at around 200 and hour, I think that is pretty good. If things went well, most providers will be happy if you return for another visit.
Mediocre service does not deserve a tip. I rarely tip, but do write reviews
I would only tip if they were exceptional!
Indy ladies shouldn't expect it as we keep 100% of our earnings. Any tip in my book is appreciated(even $20) so if she was amazing then you can tip...or not!
Agency ladies only get 2/3 if they are lucky(but they get to keep all tips) So I'd tip agencies ladies if they were above average. I think about 20-40% is good honestly. But yet I've never worked for an agency so I couldn't tell you what they deem a "Good" tip
Speaking for myself as an indy.....a tip is NEVER expected and is ALWAYS appreciated no matter the amount. I would much rather have you return again. Which by the way is much more flattering to me.
I tip a waitperson and my barber...not a provider. I look at the fees that are charged (whether agency or indy) as all inclusive. Many of the agency ladies are slightly more expensive than an indy lady, and I would hope that she has worked out her share of that to properly compensate her for her time. I don't feel that any differential is my responsibility...as I would give her a tip "that she might want to consider going independent and keep 100% for herself!!". The indy ladies have already come up with what they believe is a fair price for their time. I have never gotten a comment or "look" upon my departure that would have indicated that they are expecting more than I have already paid. I agree with a previous poster..the best tip is a return visit.
Just because you don't get the look doesn't mean some don't think it. You say why I say why not whether I was a provider or not if you feel really wowed to tip then tip ... though I never expect it regardless of a return visit or not it feels nice if someone tips provider or not ....., someone who serves is someone who serves.
So, tips are expected. As for tipping indies, I generally don't, unless I am grandfathered well below her current rates. Although you may be a regular, which she appreciates, she is not going to sacrifice seeing others at full rates to see you at your discounted rate...she is going to hope/expect that she can see you when there are not competing demands, at which time she'll show her appreciation with extended times, OTC meals, etc. It really isn't that hard.
The most I leave in a tip is between 10 to 20 bucks. If a provider's session rate is 150.00......I'll give her 160.00 before the session begins. When she counts the money before the session starts she'll know I already left the tip.
It's no way is the world I'm giving a provider a 50% tip. I pay 150.00 with a 50% tip.........that means I'm paying 225.00.........200 goes to 300...........and 300 goes to 450.00
That's not tipping.....that called being pussy whipped.....by a chick who looks at you as a Human ATM Machine anyway
You should never reward mediocrity I think people apply that to more things like parenting even. Praise and award when you feel performance goes beyond average. If you donated for 300 hmmm 40 or 50 tip is good hmmmm if you donated 200 again 20 or 30 is good. Basically like when you eat out I feel 10-20% minimum is decent/fair.
I would say, that most of whats being said sounds about right in the case or agency vs indie.
But think of it this way. tipping is expected in all service industries, waitresses, bell-hop, taxi drivers any one providing you with a service.
I am just starting out in the industry, I'm hired but have yet to work a day.
I was a raft guide before i chose this career path, and just like any other service job, we LIVED off our tips on the river.
but we got tips anywhere from 5 dollars all the way to 300 dollars
as far as tips go, you are not supposed to expect them, and you shouldn't
as for price its up to you how much you enjoyed your time spent.
Lets not forget the reason tipping was started in the first place, the person in said service industry did an exceptional job, she went above and beyond. I would say that people who did no love their job or enjoy working their job, didnt do a good job thus made less in tips.
It's really all up to you. sounds like if it was mediocre, I would not have tipped, especially if she mocked you, thats rude.
