Why do massage therapists expect a tip?

[Kingofkings1992]

I have no issue tipping a tattoo artist. They took the time to design a custom piece for me. What does a massage therapist do to deserve being tipped?

[Apple1996]

They jerk off your cock as part of the massage. That seems tip worthy

[Kingofkings1992]

Lol. It’s always the Asian ladies who wanna touch my dick

[Apple1996]

Do you offer them a tip to sucky your tip? Lol

Similar to a tattoo artist, hairdresser, or manicurist, they perform a personal service. Not that tipping is mandatory or expected, but they're certainly appreciated.

[Kingofkings1992]

Some of them expect it

Is it an Asian massage place?

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes. Lol

They perform a service on people. Much like others in the service industry

[Kingofkings1992]

And? Every job performs service

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s not true. As a software engineer. I don’t perform a service on another person.

I tip mine $20 for 50 minutes in NY if cost of living makes a difference

[DrPepper12]

I read this too fast. You gave away the WHY! "Therapist". Licensed n certified in my state with practicum period. They deserve a tip!

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I don't know man, rearranging your muscles so they don’t hurt as much when you walk isn’t something I can safely do at home. I always tip for their help in relieving my constant tension headaches and helping my short leg.
