3)Let it go, despite the principle that bugs you this “gouging” of less than 1%. Your talking 25-50 cents. You probably wasted more value typing your post and looking up the rules on the internet then you will ever recover from no tax on tips.
Tipping for massages is sort of a grey area. I understand tipping a hairdresser/stylist so if the massage is at a salon and spa business it might be common and acceptable to tip for a massage. If the massage is at a physio or clinic i see no point in tipping. A massage parlour is a weird in between.
