Yes, if everything goes well then you should,but don't expect it most of the time. Because your the biller. The only times I get tips is around the holidays, or private partys that are free from the press.

Because the Clients are more at ease with themselves and with me. most are in the film industry and are afraid of being seen by some unfavourible news person who will smash them any chance they get. I try to avoid exposing my clients at any cost.
So, if everything goes well and no press, then I get a little tip.
