Yes I tipped them for sitting next to me as well. I never picked them up when they are standing on the stage. I picked them up when the show was on and the boys were sitting in the corner. Normally I went straight to the boy and asked him to sit next to me. Mamasam immediately (yes in 1 second) came to the table and asked to order a drink:). When the show was finished, I'll ask the boy back to the stage. During the time the boy sitting next to me, Mamasam asked me to take the boy out frequently.
