This is just one of those nagging little protocol questions
about how to handle the "donation" when seeing a provider in an incall setting.

I feel a bit awkward showing up at her door with just this envelope in my hand. I have noticed that some providers even state that they do NOT want to be handed the "donation" directly.

So how do some of you more experienced at this deal with this matter? I know some of the providers indicate they want the "donation" upfront and others are willing to wait till the end of the "date" My question isn't so much about the timing but whether or not some sort of "cover" should be used. That is would it be better to bring a small briefcase to carry the envelope or perhaps bring a jacket with the envelope in an inside pocket? I suppose if a small gift of some sort was brought the envelope could be in with the gift.

I know this is a rather small concern and one that could be solved with just a little common sense and logic but being new at this and as the hour approaches for that all important encounter common sense and logic can become a bit elusive.

By that I'm not suggesting that I lack an awareness of the more compelling issues, just some of the little details.

So if anyone has some suggestions, thoughts to share on how they handle this I would appreciate it. Thanks
