Entertainer tip

19 replies

Is10percentnormal · 15/10/2023 11:39

Organised a joint hen do for a friend. A bunch of us together all helped source an adult male ‘entertainer’.
event was last night, in a cottage we had rented. It was over £300 for 2 hours of dancing, the usual stuff. A few of the group had a more private experience which I think they paid separately.

When it came to settling the invoice, we had a disagreement on how much is appropriate to tip. I thought 10% is plenty? But the others felt like we should be going up to £150! I think this is absolute madness in this day and age. I appreciate everyone is struggling with work but so are we!
yabu - £30 is way to cheap
yanbu- 10% is appropriate - potentially too much!

Well it sounds fucking grim so I'd not even have come to that event Grin and I have no idea what the usual tip is. Presumably the ones who had a private lapdance paid the extra themselves?

1/10 …. Must try harder

CesareBorgia · 15/10/2023 11:43

Everyone tips what they feel is appropriate, surely?

Planesmistakenforstars · 15/10/2023 12:20

the usual stuff

It really, really isn't usual.

Ewwww....

Mumof2teens79 · 15/10/2023 12:55

I wouldn't have even considered tipping
Not that I would have enjoyed, or booked that in the first place. Always found those things very grim.
Ew, private experience!

happylittlesloth · 15/10/2023 13:04

It's grim so yeah I'd tip £150. 50% tip sounds reasonable for this

MasterBeth · 15/10/2023 13:11

Could the "private experience" crowd stick a tenner up his foreskin each? Job done.

FitAt50 · 15/10/2023 13:19

Heck what a yucky post. Flip and revererse it and make it a female stripper in a cottage stripping for a group of men and then being taken to a room for a 'private experience'. This sounds like a scene from a 90s sitcom set in hartlepool with lots of drunk middleaged women with hair extentions.

Humidititties · 15/10/2023 13:26

Another on the list of things that never happened

determinedtomakethiswork · 15/10/2023 14:15

This is a man's idea of a fun night out for women. It didn't happen.

Wheredideveryonego · 15/10/2023 14:32

Sounds like some of your mates got more than just the tip, so I guess they want to reciprocate?

SweetFemaleAttitude · 15/10/2023 14:37

Yuck.

If a gentleman goes to an adult entertainer on a stag do, it’s slaps on the back and funny stories at the best man speech, but when we have some fun it’s ‘grim’.
i was asking for advice not to be ‘slut shamed’ if you havnt anything useful to say, what’s the point of commenting other than to make someone else feel bad?

No if a "gentleman" does that on a stag do I think that's grim too. I don't care if his mates don't.

No, it's absolutely grim too.
