I had your feeling 1 year ago already. some bg must have tried out this trick telling each customer "..now standard tip is $200/300.." la...they just took advantage of the "soft-heart" and "want face" of male customers. So gradually it become the norm. If we usb-goers continue to be "soft-heart" I am sure this situation will get worse.
I think many c-hings mis-perceived the logic of pricing of these usb-spas. Lets first see the normal charges- around 500 for 120 mins for spa and $300 for 90 mins oil massage. The reasonable splitting of this should be around 500 spa=> 200 to house 300 to bg, and $300 oil mass=> 100 house 200 to bg. These are all on vegi-base. So considering this rate the house is making very nice profit (just say 3 spas and 8 oil mass on average= 1400/day) and what bg can earn here is already encouraging comparing to sauna house. (considering there's additional incentive here for the bg are 1) less chance of bumping into undercover police snake 2) more at liberty for day-offs and far less pressure at clock in for work 3) more option of offering open big to get more tips). If the splitting leans more to the house side, it only means the business must be considerably more than my presumption for it to be attractive to keep bgs there.
So I think $100 for vegi (for regular bg who really make effort to soothe your tension/pains) and 200 for pilots is already good tip, though maybe not exactly really generous. I am sure at this rate, they can definitely earn more than in saunas already, not even taking into consideration the extra-extra services. But as you mentioned they are demanding for more now. Don't forget we as customers do not really benefit from these places, its just another option if we have insufficient time to go to sauna, then we can pay less for simlar massages.
That is why, I have been reluctant and had hardly been to these places for almost a year already. I agreed with another c-hing saying these usb-spas are dying if they carry on extorting tips in such manner.
