Should I tip a self-employed masseuse?
My ex and my current SO are both massage therapists [it’s a good life ; )], and their take on it is this: Tip if you feel like they did a great job, especially if the massage goes longer than expected and they don’t charge you more. However, they won’t be offended if you don’t – they know it’s not cheap. In their case, they both work mostly with regulars, and a lot of people don’t tip during the year but give them something – money, wine, whatever – for Xmas.
