I always tip for excellent service
[QUOTE=Asian Fetish]
So why tip a girl for a service that she is there to provide?[/QUOTE]
Let's face it, the service we're talking about here is not the run of the mill service. A fantastic experience with one of the ladies you refer to can make the difference between an average or mediocre memory of the place in question and a mind-blowing experience that makes us want to return again and again.
The amount of the tip falls into the category of petty cash for the average monger but makes a significant difference to a girl who's really poor.
I will unashamedly tip for superb service. And, conversely, if the service is awful, I won't give a penny extra.
Let's not all be cheap Charlies. Great / exceptional service deserves to be rewarded over the minimum that's expected.
What about Black American?
[QUOTE=Kumbu]I agree 100%. Superbaby is not as good as Super Girl. I can also confirm the upfront pay situation. They do indeed ask you to pay up front, but this depends on whether you are a first time customer, and also what you look like. I was told by a girl in no uncertain terms that customers suspected of being of certain nationalities are asked to pay up front, and others are not. This is because men of certain nationalities have earned themselves (and their fellow nationals) a bad name. I don't remember all the ethnicities, but some of them were: Italian, Turkish, Arab, Indian, German, African (of any sort). As you can see, it isn't a white thing (Germans are in this category too), it's based purely on the experience of having some girls be ripped off once in the room.
I looked like one (or all) of these ethnicities, and was asked to pay up front, to which I balked and walked out. This was six months ago, by the way.[/QUOTE]I am just curious.
