[quote=Anonymous]The job isn't shitty. We are not miserable. Most of us love our job, and love making people feel better. This is the type of job that puts many people in the small percentage who can honestly say they are doing what they love. But we still have to eat and pay rent (and those pesky student loans) Its just a fact of life that some careers are tough to make it through. Would you rather we all just quit and end massage as a practice so that you don't have to put up with it? Somehow I doubt that. Screw all the people who are in pain and greatly benefit from massage, because damn it all, those therapists can't get good money at this job, so they should all just pack it up and go elsewhere! Clearly there's no better solution. Clearly that would be better then you being willing to give even an extra $5 if you aren't hurting for money yourself.

I stand by the idea that you don't HAVE to tip (I'm sure plenty would argue, but this is my opinion, and I would exclude food servers in that one), its just a great gesture if your able, and what you got was great, but there's usually a reason for tipping when its customary. I imagine if it stopped being customary to tip in general, prices would just go right on up to make up for it, and you'd be paying more anyway.[/quote]
