BUT our new boss has changed our entire system as of tomorrow (my first day back at work), and we'll have check presenters like at a restaurant, with the check inside for guests to sign directly after their service. Checks that have a line for gratuity right on 'em, yays!Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-84718452468852863202008-11-11T08:59:00.000-05:002008-11-11T08:59:00.000-05:00Self indulgence is what I'm seeing here.

You add in your education and training, the time, effort and care, that's less, percentage wise, than they'd tip the person who cleared their table at the breakfast buffet.<BR/><BR/>On spa services, I think 15 percent is a minimum. . 20 if they're good. I'll do more around holidays as well when they're swamped and work me in.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-47553838538547300462008-11-05T16:48:00.000-05:002008-11-05T16:48:00.000-05:00That sucks.That sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-51498613460746044582008-11-05T00:57:00.000-05:002008-11-05T00:57:00.000-05:00M*G, you'd be amazed at some of my clients.

I tipped 15% because the service was good. We also drank $30 worth of alcohol afterward and the service STUNK (as in, waitress couldn't be found anywhere and when found was SLOOOW) and she got $5 as a tip!Mauser*Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574537076084578786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-19085116248963141922008-11-04T22:38:00.000-05:002008-11-04T22:38:00.000-05:00Thanks for all your support!This lady was nice as ...Thanks for all your support!<BR/><BR/>This lady was nice as could be, too. And she absolutely got the same quality of massage as anyone else, because as much as I bitch, I AM a professional, after all!<BR/>But did I feel a little kernel of resentment? You betcha.<BR/><BR/>See, you guys might see the price of the massage and go, WHOA, but I only get a 31% commission on the revenue I generate for the spa. So tips are of huge importance! That particular day, for example, I brought in $400 for the spa, so my commission was $124. I work a ten hour shift, so I made $12.40 an hour. And that just sucks. But if I make good tips...? It makes a giant difference.<BR/><BR/>So tip your service providers well, Folks! Provided they do a good job, of course.Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-86255835004199729032008-11-04T16:44:00.000-05:002008-11-04T16:44:00.000-05:00Yeah... what the others said!
