Posts: 732More Tipping
In most Latin countries the propina is included in the bill, usually 10%. Gringos not knowing Spanish can't read the bill and don't know what a propina is. I've pointed out to guys on their bill the propina is already included; even asked the waiter about it and they agreed. Some of these Gringos leave a tip anyway. Messes these people up, they start getting used to it.
I was in East Germany many years ago, in the old Commie days, and left a tip on the table. While I was paying the bill at the counter some guy walked in off the street and took the money and walked out. I never forgot that.

I had to always offer a tip for BBBJ. 50 K has been the normal reply. That was their first offer. Maybe next time I should counter with something lower.
But the good thing about the 50 K tip for BBBJ was that CIM was always included without me asking. And usually, rimming was also included.

Comment from another about post that says the ladies don't remember. They do. Some anyway. ON my first visit to Fase II I pulled Giselle. Young blond. Fake blond but, cute. Next 2 times I got waylaid by a brunette spinner that did great things for me an my 4th trip, Giselle. From my first trip. Found me and chatted me up all night. I bought her some many drinks that when it came time to pay for the habitación, I didn't have enough for the habitación so, the generous tip afterward wouldn't have happened. Oh well, a fun night tipping dancers and buying and playing with Giselle on the floor.

Posts: 3359So, people from the US routinely tip 15-20% in restaurants. Here in Spain, people routinely tip ... (wait for it!) ... nothing in restaurants. Does that mean that Spaniards lack empathy as compared to people from the US? In Argentina, the typical restaurant tip is 7-10%. From this, do we conclude that Argentineans have approximately half as much empathy as people from the US? In Japan, if one attempts to tip in a restaurant, the waiter will run out into the street and hand the money back. Do we conclude that Japanese waiters have an infinite amount of empathy?
In the US, it is necessary to tip waiters because in most jurisdictions, they do not make minimum wage. Of course, in Seattle they make $15 an hour and people from the US still tip them 15-20%. What kind of sense does that make? In Spain, waiters make a decent salary, so locals do not tip them.
Now, hookers set their own prices in most cases. One would assume that they set their prices at a level that allows them to earn what they feel they need to earn. I worked damn hard for my money, and fucking is not that tough of a job. So shouldn't they have empathy for me and give me good service anyway, once we have agreed on a price that we obviously both thought was fair? People from the US have their heads way up their asses on this whole tipping thing, and it is out of control. Australians have it right. Charge a fair price, pay a decent wage, and forget all this nonsense about tipping.
I am all for following local customs, and I doubt very much that colombianos are tipping 20 k in a 30 k casa. When I was in Argentina, I never tipped in the privados or in the clubs, and I was still quite popular. My regular chicas who came to my house knew what they were getting, and knew better than to ask for more, or for taxi money. I kept my eye on inflation and gave them regular raises such that the amount of money I gave them maintained its purchasing power.
So, while I respect the point of view expressed by, for example, LV monger (whose handle indicates he may be from the tipping capital of the western hemisphere), I don't buy #s 2 and 4 in particular, and also do not think that what is customary in the US needs to be extrapolated to other countries and cultures whose tipping procedures are much less pervasive or extreme. Another thing I don't understand is tipping a hooker to perform a service she would rather not perform. Now, in the case of BBBJ, it is just a question of them trying to get extra for something they do all the time. But if a chica really doesn't like anal or CIM, and you tip her extra to do it, I think that is a power trip.

Tipping is not required in Colombia, whether in a restaurant or any other venue. That's a US thing.
