There were the usual usurious expectations about how many she was expected to do per day, how many days per week, showing up and hanging around all day for two massages at each end of the day just in case some one dropped in, etc.

Ah, that explains it then. The only massages I've ever gotten have been from private individuals, running out of a back room in their house, or bringing their portable table to you. They're the kind who charge you less if you pay in cash.

Yeah, you don't tip them.
