I dont eat at resturants and I dont cut my hair so the only people I tip are tow truck drivers.
Why the f would I tip my barber? I'm already paying him for the haircut!
I had a $20 to the korean lady who buzzes my head. The $5 tip for the $15 haircut is easier than navigating change. Keeps the flow moving ao she can just yell next and we're good.
I was raised to do that. Did it for decades. 🤷♀️
Really? I've never heard of barbers having to rent chairs. Where I'm from they're employees of the barbershop and get payed an hourly wage.
Then wtf you mean? If they payed by the hour then you did NOT just pay them for the cut. You paid they're employer.
I payed the establishment for the service. The barber is payed a fair wage by the barbershop and did exactly what his job requires. Why is a tip necessary?
In those perfect circumstances, it isn't. The world we live in is far from that.
Yes. But what does that have to do with tipping?
Tattoos?
I've never understood tipping your tattoo artist. It's like tipping your physical therapist.
You should just make your fees be exactly what you want to make.
Do you still use 15-20% of the cost, or something more flat-rate? Tipping for tattoos surprised me, because factoring in a tip% can really change how much money I need for a more expensive tattoo, especially when it's cash only.
I don't get tattoos. But if I did, I might. Is that a thing?
