[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that most massage therapist only work 25-30 hours due to the more intense job we have. I for one ALWAYS tip $20 for an hour. We as therapist touch your body, even glutes, sometimes after a client has worked out without bathing, or sun tanned without bathing, you sweat during massage, etc. You think that's necessary to complain about tipping when a therapist who works at Massage Envy is only making $16 an hour, again, only working 25 hours a week. I use my tip money to feed my family and put gas in my car because my entire paycheck goes to my bills. Or for therapists who rent their own room, they have linens to clean, lotions to buy, again, etc...the money you pay for the actual massage goes to the rent, insurance and continuing education classes we have to take to stay licensed. You people need to come down off your high horse 'oh I don't get tipped for my job' and realize the real situation. I'm sorry I don't sit at a desk for 40 hours, I bust my ass for my money. [/quote]

Okay, I have always tipped 20% but now that I have read your rant, I will rethink that. We all bust our ass, most people don't "sit at a desk" and those who do are usually also working hard. I teach all day long, never sit at at desk and go home and work a few more hours to prepare for the next day, and I don't get a tip nor am I paid well, but I love my job and do it for that reason. You chose your profession, if it sucks so badly, try another one. Do you honestly think you are one of the only hard working people on the planet? I scrimp to save money to treat myself a couple of times a year to a massage, but you make me mad![/quote]
