I don't really see what's 'cheeky' about it, surely he wouldn't make it up that you hadn't given him change last time?

I know I don't give change and I never have - my rates are very clear and I ensure people know before booking what my rates are.

What's ?10 in the grand scheme of things anyway 

I could say the same to the client - this is a service profession and tipping is generally expected for service professions but escort clients rarely bother in my experience.

We discussed having correct change on here recently. A few of us believe that you should either charge multiples of 20, or have a couple of tenners lying around for change. I think it's a bit cheeky to assume that a client won't want their change.

As I say, my rates are clear and I'm clear on my profile I can't and don't give change. My rates just happen to be multiples of 10 at this time - it's rarely a problem with my clients.

I see this as they could be bringing the wrong amount so they want change so they try to see where your stash of cash is.  I wouldn't give change. They see the advertised fee they should organise themselves before the booking.

I wouldn't say knock off next visit I would just give a little extra time at the current visit.

Yeah I don't wish to either carry change to an outcall or (if I currently have cash from a previous booking in my flat) go into my stash with a client around - and my rates are clear and I repeat them to the client when they book and confirm so there's no excuse for having the wrong amount.

This particular guy has booked for 30 mins three times and has always left within 20 min by his own volition so by that logic (giving extra time for extra cash at the time) I owe him a free 30 min booking at this point!

I used to have a tenner under a small book in a drawer nearby, completely seperate from any other takings and not the only 'drawer' in the room ie it wouldn't automatically be the first place you'd look if you were that way inclined.

It is a cultural thing.

I come from a country where bar tenders pour spirits directly into the cocktail, without a measure. They work for tips so they're keen to be generous and make "strong" drinks. If a bartender in that country were to pull out one of those little metal measures and meticulously pour the precise amount into the glass, the customer would think he was being stingy. It would create a bad feeling.

But, really, in British culture, it's about fairness. The customer wants to know that they are getting exactly what they've paid for. The law (Weights and Measures Act) backs them up and if a bartender just poured straight from the bottle to the glass, they would feel uneasy. They would be worried that they might be cheated. Or perhaps their drink would be "too strong."It would create a bad feeling.

It's not stinginess - it's a rigid adherence to a sense of fairness.

I don't think it's difficult to have a tenner lying about (away from the real stash) in order to make change. It will make for a better vibe during the booking as the client feels that everything is above board and fair.

As I've already said I expect the client to arrive with the correct fee, if he doesn't then I'm not prepared to accept a lower amount because he isn't organised. If he wants to pay me over then take it off the next booking that's fine by me, it certainly wouldn't 'annoy' me in any way.


Re tips: I never assume that a client should give me a tip, if he arrives with only ?20's and says keep the change I'm appreciative of that and I'll say Thank you so much that's very kind of you!) But for someone to EXPECT to be tipped just for the sake of it is quite frankly self entitlement. 

Nail bars are cash only for example and I'd be pretty pissed off if they wouldn't give me change.If they do my nails well I'll tip them afterwards.
