Hmm sounds fishy, you must feel very pleased with yourself  it really would have been awful after such a long trip to realise that he had underpaid you, I suspect you would have needed a punching bag!

I always check. No one has ever tried to short change me until last week when the client attempted to pay me by giving me his phone, or writing me a check! Needless to say I sent him to get cash and he didn't come back.

Cheeky Blighter.

I am and will always be vigilant about payment in full UP FRONT and will not give so much as a kiss on the cheek until I ascertain that. Not happened so far being shortchanged, although I suppose something like this is bound to happen sometime down the line. I worry that if and when it does that things will get ugly - I'm very paranoid about money now when it comes to men so I hope I don't snap or something if I find he's shorted me. It would feel as if I'm being devalued and that would outrage me.  

I won't let anybody make me feel guilty or weird or dirty about the money. After all they're not paying for nonplatonic company.

I find it suspicious that the guy shorted you by a sizable chunk - funny how when these sort of 'mistakes' occur it seems to happen by way of the recepient getting shortchanged rather then given overpayment. Sorry, going a bit on a tangent but I'd be interested to know on the flip side if it's commonplace enough for the clients to err in giving way over the stated rate. I don't mean being their being deliberately generous, but as a mistake.

I always count the cash infront of the client, and if questioned or told "It's all there!" I just tell them "Anyone can make a mistake!" I have occasionally been overpaid, usually only by ?10 or ?20, but it shows that some are genuine mistakes and can go either way, so I don't assume a gentleman is deliberately underpaying me if it isn't right.

However, I reckon it's quite a feat to miscount by ?200!

Sneaky trick but a good reminder.

I count in the bathroom. A few clients have looked at me oddly when I've counted in front of them, so I just excuse myself to freshen up in the bathroom after getting the money, turn the faucet on, and count.

Anything which isn't MUF {money up front} is prob a freeby.
Count it in front of them for
Correct amount

Don't be bashful. They won't be when they fuck you. 

I'm paid to be fucked,
not fucked over!

I always count the cash in front of the client, i couldn't give a tinkers toss if it does offend them quite frankly. Most clients wouldn't dream of shorting you but you do get the odd berk who will give it a try. Sometimes i don't even think its to save cash, they just want to see if they can get one over on you. For example ages ago i had an hour booking with a guy id never seen before. I asked for the cash upfront and he looked a bit miffed, he handed it too me folded over in the middle and looked horrified when i started to count it. Bang in the middle where the last ?10 should have been there was a?5 note instead! i said that it was ?5 short and he actually had the nerve to say 'I thought you charged ?105 for the hour' Yes sir I'm sure you did

He then went on to say that it didn't matter he would pop out after the booking was finished. I then had the great joy of telling him he would go and get me the ?5 first. Which he did and i still finished the booking at the original time it was supposed to end just to teach the sneaky bugger a lesson.

I know some ladies will take the cash at the end of the session if a client has become a regular. I never do personally as no matter how well you think you know them there is always, in my mind, that off chance that they will try and pull a fast one one day.
