I have a different question on tipping, not strictly travel-related, alhough it could be ---

For the past year of so, I have been getting regular massages. Initially, the massage therapist worked out of a tanning salon (I assume he rented space there). The salon would take care of the charges, and they accepted credit, check, or cash. I usually tipped $10 for a $65 session (15%).

About 2 months ago, he said he was scaling back his time at the tanning salon and was doing more work out of his home. No probem -- he has a very professional setup there. BUT, now he accepts only cash or (get this) checks made out to 'cash'. Of course, I think he is now taking the money and not declaring it for taxes.

So, my question is: would you still tip? And if so, the same as befoe?

Thanks
