    Default Tipping your colon hydrotherapist

    Hmm..I got a colonic today and they asked me if I wanted to leave a tip. They never asked that before...and I had no idea you were supposed to tip them. She said 20% was expected.
    Really?
    Does anyone else tip their ass cleaner?
    How much?

    Do you tip your dentist for cleaning your teeth?! Anyone who tells me a tip is expected isn't getting one, I don't give a fuck how good the service is.

    Isn't that what they frickin' get paid to do??? Jesus. I tell you what, if that's the case, I'm going to ask for a tip when I issue traffic citations. "Sir, I'm issuing you this citation for failure to yield. I just possibly saved your life by making you more aware of the dangers of not stopping and carefully surveying the area before proceeding. A 20% tip is expected for the service I just provided you. You have a safe day."

    If they want $60 then they shouldnt charge $50. I call BS on that one.... time to find someone new...

    I NEVER tipped my girl and never got the feeling that one was expected...

    I've never tipped any of mine. Apparently some people DO tip theirs. But, i don't. I'll bring a gift occassionally though -- last gift I gave was crystal/rock I picked up in Brazil.

    What the hell? You tip your nail technician, your hairedresser and your waiter. Not your friggin' hydrotherapist.

    I pay $65 for the colonic. They have a little sign in the room that ays tipping is not nesessary but appriciated. Then when your done and go to pay, they ask what you want to leave for your person. I didn't tip. I saw her as I was walking out and said thanks again, and she ignored me. Obviously, offended i didn't tip.

    For the record, today I cut it short. I only lasted 20 minutes instead of 45 cause it was just cramping to much today. Also, she let the heatgo to high and had to come in drain the tube and refill it with cooler water. It has an emergency shut off and drain if the temp goes over 105.

    Hello?! We tip for a JOB WELL DONE so duh?! Even if you DID tip there thats an excuse NOT to....

    Not to mention they actually ask you about your tip?! WTF is THAT? Well I never. If my nail person or hair person or anyone for that matter ever ASKED for a tip (or had someone do it FOR them) theyd get a piece of my mind. Thats ANOTHER reason NOT to tip. Its supposed to be appreciated but theyre acting like its mandatory.

    Expected wow. I tip my hair stylist about 20% and she has never asked for a tip. Considering she's not in my butt though. I would tip a colon therapist if they were gentle and did a good job. I think of it as a spa service like a massage or facial.

    Shoot now I'm looking around here where I can get my innards cleaned for that cheap.

    gentle has nothign to do with it. All they do is set up the room and clean it up when I'm done. I stick the tube in my own ass and turn it on. they never see my butt.

    I wanted to get a colonic but was scared of the tube up my bum. Funny, b/c I've never had problems putting *ahem* bigger things in there. Well, if thats the case then no..why does she need a tip? All she did was clean up and do her job. This to me is the same as fast food places with a tip cup at the drive up window.

    The tube is really tiny, like pencil sized and it only goes in an inch or so.
    The thing I hate is that when you push the poop out, it splatters all ovr your bum and one time I got a UTI, I asked them about it, and they just said, oh, it can't be from here, all our stuff is sterile. And I was like, yeah, but the poop spraying everywhere isn't....
    Cause you just...push the poop out and it goes out around the tube, and down the flusher tube.

    Anyway, that was offtopic and TMI.

    That was TMI ...but now that everyone is talking about getting colonics, now I'm really even more curious about getting one. Ya'll are talking about them like they're manicures. Just something you do.. Hmmmm.

    I'm in Vegas. I go to this place cause it is right at the corner of where I live. I can walk there. Convenient.

    And ya...the colonic is just somethign I do, like a pedicure..I even talk on the phone during! And that's not like wied, cause they have a cell phoen holder attached to the table, and it says: Place cell phones here.

    I just try not to fart to loud on the phone....

    But then again, if you haven't learned by now...I have no shame.
    I am ashamed that I have no shame.

    How bad would you say colonics hurt? Like period cramps? Or worse? That is scary! I want to try it but I'm scared of the pain.


    But on topic.. I wouldn't tip her all you were doing was paying to use their machine.

    I love colonics and probably do not get them enough. I don't tip but I think it depends on the situation. If you went to a spa and got one, then yes tip. But if you go to a regular colonics place then probably not unless otherwise stated.
