Would you see someone again who short changed you?

[Mocha]

I had met a client last month who had shorted me by $20 after the session. Silly me for not counting it afterwards, but once I got to the car I realized it.

 

Fast forward to the other day, I get an email from same client asking to meet again for the amount I was given last time, but for an hour rather than the 1.5 hours we did last time.

 

I emailed him back that I was short by $20 on the last appointment, but that I would consider meeting him for what he wanted to do. I left it up to him to reimburse me by the amount. I haven't heard back from him though, thinking maybe he got flustered that I called his bluff.

[Michael Wayne]

no

[instudiocity]

I have shorted an escort in the past and it was entirely an unintentional oversight on my part. The escort called me within 5 minutes of leaving and asked me if I enjoyed the session. I told him, "Yes, you were wonderful." He said, "I think you miscounted my fee, I got $40 less than I was expecting."

 

I checked and I didn't have $40. So I offered to either meet him right away near an ATM, or let me compensate him on our next visit. He came back by later that day, hugged me, kissed me deeply, felt me up, reached in my pocket and got the $60 himself, leaving me WANTING until the next session.

 

It's all about communication, timely communication. If you contacted him immediately, via phone or email, not storming back in, you'll know if you were intentionally shorted or it was a mistake.

Could have been a simple counting error.

 

In fact, if the client handed you a neat stack of bills directly from an ATM it may have been the ATM's counting error! (Banks like to deny it but they *do* happen.)

 

For someone already spending a couple hundred, a $20 shortage just seems unlikely to be intentional. To me, anyway. But the world has all different kinds of assholes.

That was my first thought, why would anyone deliberately short an escort a stinkin' 20 bucks?

[Epigonos]

I like to use 50's or 100's when I pay an escort. That way it is easy for him to count. At the end of our session, the first time I meet a guy, I give him an envelope with his money. I always ask him to open it and count it. Some escorts have been a little taken aback but business is business.

At least you hope so!

instudiocity Damn that's a great response.

I do too, particularly if it's more than a one-hour romp. Who wants to carry that big stack of paper?

 

But the weird thing is that I've had trouble *getting* big bills at the bank. I cash a check for a thousand (or whatever) and specifically ask for big bills and too often they don't have 'em!

 

Do you call in advance or something to make sure they'll have the bills you want?

That is exactly what you have to do. You also have to "order" larger amounts of cash in advance these days as well.

I once absentmindedly miscounted the money I was putting in the envelope (I always bring the money in an envelope with the escort's name on it), and it was a repeat with the escort who by now knew me, so he didn't bother to count when I gave him the envelope at the end of the meeting. My cell rang when I was a block from the apartment, and he asked whether there was some mix-up on his fee. I told him I could come right back with the rest of the money (I was surprised when I pulled out my wallet and had an extra 100 in there - which verified his question), but he said, no you can give it to me next time. And the next time I brought the balance due and an extra tip for him. But I think if this had been a first time thing, he would certainly have asked me to come right back with the rest....

I think at that point, I'd consider Travelers Checks, PayPal, or Money Orders.

[Decatur Guy]

This is EXACTLY why I ask guys to count the money behind me. There's always an awkward moment, but it's not on my part. It's always the escort who's seems flummoxed by that. I still insist on it, and just say I'm lousy at counting (which I am). What would really be awkward, though, is accidentally short-changing someone, and then wondering if he thought I did it on purpose.

 

Plus, having the escort count behind me also is protection from me being accused of short-changing when I haven't done so. It's just good business all the way around on both sides. Romantic? No. Wise? Yes.

 

But I'm with the others. Who pays $200 or $250 or whatever and shorts just $20 on purpose?

Travelers Checks and Money Orders are frequently counterfeited

Is it a local issue? Bank policy? I can get as much as $5,000 in hundreds with no problem. They don't keep that much at the teller windows, but it's in the vault.

Yeah, that struck me as strange too. I don't know of any bank that couldn't cash a $1,000 check with 10 $100 bills. The banks that I use always have 100's.

Wells Fargo, Us Bank require an advance order for anything over $5000.00, and sometimes amount under that are not possible if they do not have that many 100's on hand.

 

Where I am at anyway...

 

It is a misconception that banks keep large amounts of currency on hand "in vaults". It depends upon the level of activity at the branch as well according to my local branch of Wells Fargo

That's how it has been explained to me at several Citi branches as well.

I usually count the money after I've left the client's place. I always feel awkward counting the money in front of the client. There has been just a few times when I've been shorted. Usually it's a very small amount and just appears to be an oversight. In each case I simply went right back to the client's place and politely said that I thought he had miscounted the money. In each case the client apologized and gave me the correct amount of money. Since it's always a small amount, my assumption is that it was just an oversight on his part and not done intentionally at all.

But what if the client thinks that you're pulling a fast one? That he DID give the proper amount, but you decided to count it out of his sight and then claim you're missing some? Then it becomes your word against his and...sounds a bit prickly. Better to count as if you were at any other transaction place...he counts, hands it to you; then you count too.

 

I had an instance in Miami, where I pulled $120 from the ATM. Thats all the cash I had on me. I went to get a money order. The lady counts the cash and says I only gave her $100. I even had the reciept on hand showing it. But being that I didn't count it in front of her before giving it, I didn't have much to prove.

 

$20 buys a nice bottle of inexpensive wine, the hell if I'm going to let it slip by

[Mark Gordon]

I appreciate it if the client uses large bills, counts the money in front of me, suggests I count or fans it on a table, but otherwise I usually wait till just after we've parted to count. Occasionally, they'll have miscounted by a bill, but have always been happy to correct the oversight without question. I recently had a regular short me by 20 after counting in dim light. I didn't notice till the next morning, so I decided not to contact him about it. The next time he visited, as he was getting his wallet out, I provided more light, casually mentioned what had happened and he added the 20.

[instudiocity]

I'd give a repeat escort the benefit of the doubt and if I had it, double the previous shortage. I would also encourage him to tell me ANYTHING that's wrong as soon as possible. It's called honor in the relationship. Sometimes I'm amazed at the level of total physical intimacy we can share while at the same time we cannot bring ourselves to be open and honest. FYI, escorts who aren't at least acting open and honest, never get a second call from me.

[Lohengrin1979]

I use to always mess up the amount of bills given when I hired. I'm a musician and not one of the ones good at math. Nowadays, I just go to the ATM/Bank same day and pull out the exact amount + plus possible tip and keep the tip money seperate from the fee. That way, when I'm done with my massage(haven't hired an escort yet but soon, oh so soon) I just empty my wallet and I know he has his correct fee. It was rather embarrassing to be called minutes after an appointment to have the poor masseur ask if I'd been displeased. Now I just have to be anal about it, pardon me in advance for the pun.

I'm sure it was a simple oversight on his part. If a client is paying $200 plus, why would he purposely short you $20? That just doesn't make any sense. The next time a client gives you your fee, you may want to count it in front of him. Then there is no misunderstanding. I've been shorted $20 before and it wasn't done on purpose at all.
