Am I a miserable bastard 🤔🤔

But no punter should feel bad for not tipping/gifting. Your regular custom is a gift itself!

Nothing more to be said really, that is the best gift of all.

I saw a young WG in her 20’s yesterday and she gave me such a good service l gave her a £20 tip at the end.
She was a woman l was seeing for the first time and l just book 30 minutes when l meet a new girl to see
how l get on with her and if she likes me. I always pay my fee at the start of booking and in this case it was £60.

The service was that good l thought she deserved more. This is the first time l have ever done that in 25 years
of punting. Just wondering if anyone does this. I have now booked a 2 hour session for next Tuesday.

I do that too, not very often tough.

Tipping is fine if you felt you had a rather great time and is feeling generous.

Something else: If I'm seeing a regular, and she costs £70, if I only have four £20 notes, I'll usually just let her keep the extra £10 rather than try to hunt for a tenner.

As someone who’s been working for a while it really is. Regulars who have stuck with me for years without asking for discounts, free time or getting too personal are priceless.

One time I went to The phoenix club just before Christmas.  I arrived with a bunch of little gifts that I got at Boots - less than a fiver each, but might have seemed more expensive.  I gave them to the girls while hanging out in the kitchen before the 2 hour fuck fest started.  And a better one for Em.  I am sure it led to better treatment. Ha ha, a rare good move from Dan.

Not something i would consider unless it's a gift to  a regular at Xmas. However, in restaurants i always tip unless the service was really, really bad. If you've ever worked in hospitality on minimum wage you'd understand.

SPs are not on minimum wage in any stretch of the imagination.

I learnt the hard way years ago that SP's rarely have any change to hand.   I now go to punts with £20, £10 and £5 notes in my wallet in case extras have to be negotiated.

Always turn up with the correct money, save time and etc

Only once have I bought an SP a gift, but I never would for a first visit. As I had booked a meeting on one of her 'special weekends' I got a week's free viewing of her AW private gallery, which felt a bit like a gift in return.

Have never given an SP a tip; never will. I give her enough cash, as it is.

[RogerHealey]

Usually I don't tip and would agree with Miss Wolf that the price set and agreed is sufficient. However their have been a few WGs who I've really clicked with and have exchanged gifts with  sometimes whilst also receiving extra time and/or services. The relationships have stayed professional but just got... er, friendlier. Hope that's not a dirty word on here. If I get a bad service I don't go back and would review as such though as I'm relatively new on here I've not got such a one to report yet.

I can't say "l never have, nor ever will".  I saw a regular last year, and the service (normally extremely good) was, on this occasion, wonderful. As l am a regular, it's a 'pay on exit' arrangement.

I gave her an extra £10, as a tip to thank her for the  heightened service. 

Since then, she continues with the increased levels of satisfaction, and l have never tipped above the standard price since.

Dude, this isn't America, serving staff aren't living hand to mouth. You don't tip retail staff, do you? Most restaurant staff make more than retail.

I have on a couple of occasions bought a bottle of red wine to share with an escort when I have been staying in a hotel.
Other than that no, why should I leave a tip prices are high enough anyway.

[DouglasReynholm]

I've never given a tip or gift since I started 3 years ago, it does go through my head though. None of them have ever shown any displeasure at this, so I think it is the norm.

Back in Soho walk-up flats a long long time ago I used to tip the maid a pound. I only went to a few of them. Thanks to UKP and AW punting's 1000% better than pre internet days.
