The next thing I foresee you going into after you run out of excuses is how the stable is going to adjust the price point to $148 (instead of $150) to induce a $2 tip from you .

Chill la bro, your style, you happy can liao. A lot of what I say is based from what FLs tell me. Customers who pay after service tip more than customers who pay before service. Don't believe? Go ask around, if you're friendly enough with them maybe they'll tell you the real story and show you their log books.
By the way, why would the stable want to induce a $2 tip from me? It doesn't go to them, it goes to the ladies. If anything, the ladies will be far happier that their prices are in strange figures because customers are more likely to round up to the nearest $10 or in the case of CAT$170-$190, round up to $200 (Same goes with $130-$140 round up to $150).
A lady priced at $140 will earn a slightly lower flat rate (about $5 less) than a lady priced at $150, but will earn far more in tips. Don't believe? Go and ask around the FLs in these categories and ask them for their log books.
Of course, you'll have the occasional customer who tips far above the norm, but most customers (again, referencing the log books I've seen), tend to give nice round figures to the ladies. Whether it is a combination of too much money or too much ego, it doesn't matter. The tips collected by an ang pai during her stay here can sometimes make up as much as 20%-30% of their earnings.
