[quote=Anonymous]Wow, massages in my area are NO LESS than $100-$140 per hour.  To tip at those rates seems out of control.  I know it's a hard job but it appears they've factored in what they want to get paid.  I have not tried Massage Envy etc, I go to a private practice.  I'm going to stop getting massages and continue with physical therapy which do not expect tips and do an equivalent job for my needs.  The reason I'm here is because the woman doing my massage last week was paid $100 for 60 minutes and complained during the massage that people were not tipping her.  I didn't tip just because she p*ssed me off during the massage by stating that I need to tip her.  We all have overhead and expenses that factor into our profession, and based on the comments, massage therapists are expecting the clients to cover their unexpected time off and overhead.     This is one luxury item I'm cutting out of my budget, it's just too much of a hassle to deal with divas when you're paying for such of a high priced service to begin with.  What's really insulting is when they accept groupons then complain to everyone within earshot how cheap groupon people are (I've never used groupon for a massage but heard about it for an hour while getting a massage).  You'd think the massage is a talk therapy session for the massage therapist.  Maybe the client should get paid for their time listening to their problems for an entire hour.[/quote]
