There are even chapters on dominatrixes and prostitutes, as well as strippers and shoeshine men.
This is fascinating. One should tip prostitutes? How much?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In fact, no, it seems prostitutes usually get screwed twice.

Stalls are less scary than they use to be (at least planned ones).
No, no. Stalls are still scary to me.

Point!

In that sort of instance, was I supposed to tip?
My massage therapist works out of a physiotherapy clinic and I do not tip her. I wouldn't tip the physiotherapist if I was getting treatment from him/her. Similarly, I didn't tip neither the massage therapist nor the chiropractor I saw in the same practice. (All of whom were covered by my medical insurance.)

Not receiving tips doesn't screw anyone unless their remuneration structure assumes tipping, surely. ...Actually, I'm thinking it would be worse for prostitutes if they were reliant on tips, since there would surely be clients who use that extra price pressure to push for things said prostitute is unwilling to do (unsafe sex comes to mind).

This reminds me of a zombie joke!
What did the zombie say to the prostitute?
Keep the tip!

In other news (unrelated to zombies and prostitutes) I am very sad to report that Emmett is now 5'9". He's still 14 and he's one inch shorter than me.

I remember that being an issue for dominatrixes (who I believe usually get the 15-20% most other groups get).

Yowza, Emmett! CJ is 5'6" which blows my mind.
I have put in 12 hours today. On something that hadn't been on my radar yesterday. Oy. My brain is MUSH.

I'm in denial about how much I have to do in the next 4 days. Sure, some of it fun (Irish bar for Cinco! Because we did Mexican on St. Pat's!) but also, there is no working late tomorrow night, there is cleaning that has to happen this weekend, errands, a communion party, my swimming, no working late Friday, and no time to work this weekend. And a drop dead on Tuesday, and likely no possibility of working Monday. UHRG.
