If you go to a private masseuse, do you tip them? They work for themselves and massage at their home?
cellularphoneanalyzer asked:
I am getting a massage from a certified massage therapist that works out of their home. It is not sexual/sensual whatsoever, but I don’t know if a tip is necessary afterwards since she keeps all the money. At a spa, I always tip because she’s only making so much per hour that the spa pays. But this is full on $80 for the hour all to her. Any advice on tip or not?

Hell no you dont tip them! your paying them enough as it is.
no why would you tip them ? you are already paying them for there service. Woudl you tip a hooker ?
Without a ‘happy ending’, I wouldn’t bother to tip. $80 is more than enough for just a massage already.
not mandatory…
but she will greatly appreciate it..
it will tell her that it was a good massage
I would tip if the massage is good. I’d use the same tipping percentage as I do in a restaurant.
I have massages via private, company owned and medical personnel…I tip them all. I understand that all the money goes to a private masseuse, but what they charge is to cover their costs, even if in their own home. I would tip.
no tip and that price is a rip off
they would be making like over 100,000 grand a year for uneducated nothing that any ol’ person can do
i think the ones in a spa like make maybe 10-13 an hour
there are people educating your kids not even making near that
massages are worth maybe 10 bucks an hour i would say
and what overhead is there—oil and lotion—hey, don’t most pervs have that crap on hand anyways–they can just bring their own
there are lawyers who only charge 50 an hour and they are way educated and protectign you from going to the jailhouse and do you people tip them?
i didn’t think so
