How much do people normally tip the manager ?

Thanks

This post was in response to the Darling posts.  Just wanted to know if people tip the managers at Darling, Sauna 18, Rio.

I've been to Darling 1 a few times now and never tipped.  I never tipped mainly cause it never occurred to me.

Do most Bro's tip before they make there selection, that way the manager hooks them up with a popular girl?

or after there selection as  thank you to the manager?

Hi ,

have been in several saunas and never tipped also. Never thought about it. But think it makes more sense in places like D1 rather than in saunas because the level of knowledge and control that the papa/mamasan can have over the girls is really higher than in the saunas like for instance 18 (80+ girls!! to be kept under control ...) .

been to D1 a few times but never tipped, unless u ask them for something specific (like booking a girl), i dont see a reason to tip them

I read the other bro's posts regarding tipping the WG and manager excessively, which I do not concur , but did not feel the need to start a discussion about it.  Since another bro started a new thread, I'll piggy-back my opinions.

Sex/Prostitution is considered a service.  It is not a retail product, nor do they heat it up for you to eat; therefore it should not be taxed.  In Macau, they add a 15% to my bill as "service charge", which I consider the same as tax.  Therefore, there is no need to tip.

If the WG's service is great, I'll arrange for a side session with her back at the hotel.  I will pay her a handsome reward that's more than her share at the sauna, and that will be her tip.  If they won't agree to meet you outside, most likely they are not into you, so why tip?

As with managers, I did once tip Lanie (the manager from Phillipines at the old Sanado) because she is genuinely nice.  The managers that are genuinely nice will reject your tip (Billy and Edwin at FN, I basically stopped trying because they would give it back to me every time).  There are also the ones with the fake smirk that will take it and then laugh at you behind your back, in which your experience would not have changed due to the tip.

If you visit a sauna frequently and develops a nice friendly rapport with the managers, they will normally hook you up with suggestions on WGs and upgrade you to better rooms, all without a tip.

Macau's increasing price in saunas over the last few years is already screwed up by the BSD PRCs, tipping can only add fuel to the fire on this trend.  These same BSDs already ruined the mongering scene in Dongguan (even before the raid) and other parts of China, they can do the same to Macau without any of our help.  So, leave the tipping to them.

The part where tipping the manager BEFORE getting good service is just mind blowing Koo-Koo-Roo~

What I wrote on another thread regarding tipping:

While tipping is not mandatory, tipping is appreciated by the Manager. In set-up like Darling 1 and nite club, Manager is  an important part of the eco system and they are more likely to look after your interest. As I only come to Macau around 2 to 3 times a year, I treat tipping as part of the overall cost, not a lot considering the amount we pay to the establishment. In sauna set-up like 18 or east spa, I do not tip as I think Manager do not add much value.

I read some even tip the towel girl or boy. So, I guess tipping is a very individual practice and there is no right or wrong.

Depending what managers you referring to.

For China KTV/Sauna managers , I will tip about 50% of the time.

For Macau KTV, I will tip 100% of the time.

For Macau Saunas, I only tip during CNY, with Red Packets.

The $$$ amount varies, no fixed amount.
When i am drunk, i tip more, when i am sober, i tip less.
