Hair cut, $5.00 on a 10.00 hair cut, so for you Photo that is 50%.


 


On the subject of tipping, especially at resturaunts, how do you tip? I am such a stickler when it comes to restuaraunt service that I hardly ever tip. On the rare occasion that I do tip, I tip 100% of the meal cost and tell them why.


My biggest pet peeve in this world, besides Plush, is service!

It all depends on what I have done.


If its just a cut and style......we are talking about 45 for that and about 6.75 (7 bucks) for the tip. I suck at math, by the way. I dont put any color in my hair...yet...so I dont have to pay any extra anything. ....

Yeah you are the type of gum smacking, not paying attention, cold food bringing, talking to someone else, not refilling my drink type of server that stands there thinking I am an asshole because you didn't get tipped.


 


And now lets go to the grocery store!   Uhg! Why the fuck can't the checker pay attention to me, and why is it that bagger shows up after I have bagged my own shit and wants to carry it to my car for me?

Maybe if you were nice and smiled every now and then...instead of looking all pissed off and expecting crappy service.....you would get treated well. Damn it...stop complaining.

Not even. I hate server's i think they are brainless robots. If i could only count the meals I have had to refire because the server let it sit in my window and die. Or not payed attention to the person's order and ordered the wrong thing. I have found that i make the stupid servers quit without notice. Kinda sucks. You just hope that the next one is not quite as ignorant.

OK, and the other thing.... I went and bought a house full of furniture last year, you guys know that I look young, well here I am shopping and none of the sales people will give me the time of day. WTF!?  But when I pull a wad a of hundreds out of my pocket and tell them that I am going else where as I am on my way out the door, they are tripping over themsleves to get to me and "help" me. I spent my 12k elsewhere!

I guess I am the lone outcast who doesnt tip for my hair cuts. I pay 12.00 already and just to cut my little bit of hair I have. I dont see the use in tipping when they just run clippers thru it and its done.

I'm with you...I may be female but it doesn't take a great deal to cut a straight line across the bottom of my long straight blond hair and across my bangs....I'm not tipping for that....call me anything you want....but because my hair is longer I have to pay more...WTF...


I don't get perms, color, etc. just a straight cut...and I us usually wash my own hair before I go....

The Buttercup school of thought for gratuities.......

I tip my hair stylist 20%, and I tip the shampoo guy $5. I've been going to this place for a while and I'm always happy with the service.

I tip my manicurist $3 for a $12 manicure, I tip my waxing aesthetician 15%, and my masseuse/masseur 20%.

In restaurants I generally tip 20% if the service was good, higher if the service was excellent. If the service is poor I do not tip the server but I do speak to the manager to ask if the bus person or runner can be tipped separately if he/she has done a good job.

If I have to use a Skycap at airports, I generally tip $3 per bag.

At no time do I feel obligated to tip if the service does not warrant such.

Not all servers are brainless robots, I think much depends on the type of restaurant in which they're working. I personally know one server who consistently makes over $90K per year, the bulk of which comes from gratuities.

I hate grocery stores that don't bag my groceries. There are a few chains here that expect you to bag your own.

LMAO! Hey, I work every day and I deserve to pamper myself once in a while. Although I do use self check-in as much as possible at airports, I'll only use curb service if I don't have a lot of extra time and the lines are shorter.

When I went out of town last month, the skycap was a little pissed I didnt tip him. I walked up there with my bag, he scanned my e-ticket, attached the tag to my bag, and then threw it in a bucket behind him. Does that deserve a tip? I dont think so.

I tip for my hair being colored or cut. ITs the thing I do to pamper myself. I usally tip 10 for the color, 5 for the cut. just casue I like her, and I like the way she does my hair. I always walk in and she always makes time for me. She also does a bitchin job on my brows. (she is THE oly person to touch them at this point.)


Why doe i tip like that, becasue I am VERY PICKY about who touches my hair. (if you dont know how to handle red highlights- you get brassy lemon blondes instead of a honey blonde)


 


and as far as the eateries that I go to....


If the service is bad, you get a quarter, at best.


If its great, you great a darn good tip. they live on tips, and when they show the effort, I will reward. now rudeness gets the manager and I ahve like b cups, tiped the bus boy but not the wait staff.

I have had guests come into the kitchen and tip me. The service was bad but the food was excellent, so i get the tip. Works for me.

I tip the chick that cuts my kids' hair a few bucks. She does a nice job and I have known her for many years. I cut my own hair, so I don't have to worry about shit there!


As for restaurants, it really depends on the service for me. If you bug the shit out of me every 3 minutes i leave you a quarter in a glass of water! If you just look and only stop when you see my glass is nearing empty or I am done with my plate and offer to take care of that, well, that is worth a $5!
