So, several RMTs told me they keep $25 hr of my fee paid by my ins co … im shur some RMT get more, but shes happy, doesnt look 4 work elsewhere…
Just 2b clear, Jennifer’s service = xxcellent & may totally merit a bigger tip. Up 2u.
A $10 tip on $60 msg = just over 15% the waitress gets. And … a really huge tip might make her nervous u hope 4 xxtras next time…
… I tip quite a bit, but one RMT told me she xxpects $10 tip… this client always gave her & other girls $10, but last time he visited, he gave her nuthin…
… she was crazy pissed @ that… I walked in 1 afternoon, & I stole his apptmnt due2 this omission… oh man, he was upset, I could hear him complaining
in the waiting rm… walked out 2… my RMT = very happy, didnt want him back
So, I think most legit MPAs & RMTs ≠ lookng 4 huge tips… they get part of rm fee… but they shur notice if its nuthin!
So, just looking @ RMTs, no tipping actually previous standard, since revised. I got this from BC website:
“
A tip may be accepted where the RMT believes that it will not compromise his or her objectivity and ability to act in the patient’s best interests.
Many RMTs do not accept tips because they believe that it is inconsistent with delivery of massage therapy within a medical model. Some RMTs do accept tips. Both positions are acceptable under the new standard of practice, provided that the decision is based on a consideration of the RMT’s objectivity and the patient’s best interests.
If you, as an RMT, decide to refuse an offered tip in circumstances where it may constitute a boundary violation, and/or because your objectivity or ability to act in the patient’s best interests would be compromised, you may thank the patient for the gesture but politely decline. You may use the opportunity to explain why the tip is being refused, in a sensitive and gracious manner.”
