How much do you tip when getting massages? (Lincoln, Manhattan: house, price)

[lincolnparker]

so what if a lady gets massaged by another lady or a guy? What should she expect to see or receive?

If my stylist is showing cleavage and rubs me the right way the tip is higher as long as the haircut is acceptable.

This has been going on since the beginning of time.

My masseuse needs to do what I pay him for: a massage.

No happy endings.

I guess first it depends on if the woman getting the massage is attracted to women at all and is getting a massage from a woman. If the woman is attracted to women I would tip like a man would when getting a massage from a woman.

If a woman is getting a massage from a man,if the man gives the woman his "full attention" in some form then I would say the woman getting the massage should tip a lot higher than 15%.

If you can't tip like an adult, don't go out to eat.

That's an unbelievably stupid thing to say. 20% isn't even a standard, let alone the "proper thing to do". If you're stupid enough to overtip that's your business, don't lecture me on what's proper though when 15% is the accepted standard.

Maybe at Applebees, not at a real restaurant.

Never had a massage

Actually many a restaurant automatically add 20% tip to your final bill. I had dinner at Wakamono yesterday on Broadway in Lakeview with a couple of friends, and our bill came to be $132 ($100 for food, plus $10 tax, plus$22 tip). The restaurant took the liberty of deciding how much we should have tipped, regardless of the service quality, which was not that great at all. How interesting!

Does the 'happy ending' part ever happen as part of the haircut ??

I see they didn't teach you much math...or logic.

Let's see. An Applebees dinner (Sounds like you're familiar?) is what, $20? = $3 tip. My bill at Joe's last week was $250 + a $38 tip.

It's just so crazy how percentages work! The Joe's waiter made more even though you can get just as full at Applebees as you can at Joes!

Actually yes. But usually only after a night out at the bar with the stylist.
