How often do you tip?

The rates are reasonably high to start with and the girls are professionals. Do you tip your lawyer? Your plumber? Your accountant?
Lol this is awesome. I agree with the others here, this has been discussed a lot before and the general consensus seems to be the same. It's already a high wage and you are dealing with professionals, but of course they appreciate your tips. I don't generally tip professionals but I'm sure anyone would accept/appreciate free money. That being said, what exactly would you hope to gain by tipping the girl? Better service next time? A professional's service should remain constant no matter, in which many report to be true in this case as well (tipping did not equate to better or worse service)
You tip on the level of service you receive. Some of those you tip, can be exceptional in servicing you. One waiter after two visits, knows what I will order, and tells me, my order first. (lol) In some places, you get to know the people serving you, makes a much nicer visit each time. For bad service, it used to be leave a penny. Now you just make it a nickel. Tells them you would have tipped, if the place did a better job. Odds are you will never return, if the experience was not good. For others in this thread, the title did not say, only SPs. :rockon:
Maybe one of you can explain the tipping rules for Canada. I know in the USA it is customary to do 15% for a lunch thing and 20% for a dinner thing and if you have a certain number of people at your table they may automatically add in an 18% 'service charge" (aka tip). In Oz we just round it out to tip...thus if your lunch is $13.45 you might leave $15. If you lunch is $14 you'd leave $15; it it was $14.25 you'd leave $15; it it was $12.50 you'd leave $15. Anyhow, sort me out on this. Thanks!
It is usually 15%, 20%, 25%. For big parties, they automatically add-in 15% even on high end places like Canoe.
When was the last time that you have gone out for dinner and referred to it as a session
. It was clear what the OP meant based upon his second selection: "only on extraordinary session"In regards to lawyers, accountants and plumbers, the same thing. I usually have meetings with my accountant and lawyer, not sessions and plumbers come to fix what is broken. Usually, invoices are provided with accountants, lawyers and plumbers plus HST. When is the last time an SP gave you an invoice with HST added to the total.
Personally, I have always tipped for average to good service. I agree that we pay a lot already for the service we are receiving but based upon my experiences, a little extra has always been appreciated. Whenever someone comes to my place to do some work, I always make sure I have something cold for them to drink and if they are there for the full day, I have even bought them pizza to eat.
oh, I forgot to mention that I will buy an SP coffee if I have seen her before just as a gesture of admiration and appreciation
I always tip. If it's a first time encounter, I see it as a gesture of good faith. If it's a repeat date, then it shows appreciation.
An encounter with an SP is an intimate exchange, not just an exchange of money and services, and I always want to err on the side of generosity to ensure that the SP knows that I am appreciative of her efforts to be intimate with me, even if it is the first time we have been together.

This is my exact thoughts on the matter. For any SP/MPA I see regularly, I will get them a small gift from time to time.
Cheers
