Yea guys are pretty bad sometimes. And I love how some guys thinking tipping $1 on a 16 dollar haircut is making my day. get the F outta here. Now if they are old ment aht is fine cause they are old school. But I am so tired of this guys coming in here with this shaggy wanna be abercrombie and fitch haircuts and are SOOOOO high maintance and then dont tip. Its pretty bad when some men are worse than women when it comes to getting their hair done!!
I have even had a guy ask me if I could flat iron his hair for him!!!! F A G
I get cheap ass hair cuts cause im pretty simple LOL....I tip unless the bish gaps me upQuote:

WHo knows how legit they are anyways.....
Aren't you getting paid from the haircut itself? You want $100 tip for a $16 haircut? Maybe $1 is cheap, should just leave a 20, but don't complain. LOL. Not everyone is in a job that's deemed tip worthy....Quote:

Im not saying everyone should tip 20bux. But I think if I do a good job and you know it then you can tip better than $1Quote:

I was on a date with some guy. and I went to the bathroom. The waiter apologize to my date for having to eat alone. Later the waiter came with our food. we had ate for awhile and was about half way done. the waiter asked "is the food okay?" and we said, "yes, it's good." he then said "no spit or hair or anything in there?" .. we literally dropped our silverware at that moment like WTF. he did something else, forgot what, that was also disturbing, and he never brought us anything when we asked. We ended up giving him either no tip or a very SMALL tip.
i tip usually very good. at least 20%, however bad services =no tip or small tip.
fawk i didnt read it all before i voted, i tip everybody but the folks in the potty
don't rant & rave about what he drives & what house he owns. everyone knows the richest people are the cheapest people. real rich people can tip and will tip.Quote:

I as well deliver pizzas, and because of that, I always tip at least 5 dollars at restaurants, more if i got drinks, etc and the bill is high. I tip my hair cutter person 6 bucks because the bill is 14 and I just give a 20 and say keep it. They are grateful for that.
As a pizza delivery driver, let me tell you we DO NOT get the delivery charge that is put on your bill. Well technically we get 15 cents out of the 2 bucks. I got 95 cents per delivery before gas shot up, and now I get 1.10 after the instituted the delivery charge. That is supposed to pay for wear and tear AND gas and mileage. We like to see a minimum of 3 dollars tip on a delivery, and at least 10 percent on order above 30 dollars. and if you are far away form your store in which you get delivery, please tip more because it takes us much longer to get there and back. I HATE it when I delivery to a person 15 minutes away one way for a 2 dollar tip or less. That's 30 minutes of my shift taken away for one delivery and a measly 2 dollars. Also, if you order on the web and leave a shitty tip online, more than likely your order will be taken with 1 or 2 other orders and yours will go last, because those that tip better on an online tip, are obviously going to get their pizza first.
So not true. Whether or not someone tips is based on their ability to, but more so thier will to. That is determined by your personality.Quote:

I would say 20% average for good service and even 40% depending if you kick ass.
Also I look for the same people that served me. They take care of me, I take care of them.
I don't go out to eat with people that don't tip.
I try to tip when I have the money.
I know being a waiter/waitress isn't a good job, or have a good pay.
i said real rich people. not people who think they have money & flash it around.Quote:

I will admit, I used to tip 15-20% before I knew what went into waiting. These days its between 20 and 35%. If you cant "afford" to tip well: skip the diet coke and put that $2 towards tips. You make a healthy choice and helped someone pay the bills.
Haircuts are EXPENSIVE. 15 bucks for a mediocre haircut (shave with a #2 + neck shave) is a lot for something that requires no skill (I do it myself these days).
Here's the best part about haircuts - they screw it up...wth! They leave fuzzies all over the place, and I have to go home and clean it up.
I ordered a shake for 2.50 at Chick fil A once and left the rest as tip - her reaction pretty much made my day :)
Examples cannot add up to a proof, but I agree with you in essence. I know way too many rich people who tip worse than they umm "should". If I had that kinda money I'd tip 40% everywhere I get a service $40.Quote:

I'm a pretty cheap person until it comes to tipping. I've always been a very generous tipper. Just seems that many of them need the money more than i do and i've always had that mindset when tipping.
I agree, I tip depending on how the service went, normally 15% unless its a small bill then I would leave a minimum of $5 or more.Quote:

Keep in mind, if you were at some of the higher scale restaurants in Atlanta, you have the potential to make just as much as a salaried employee. I had a friend that worked at the Renaissance downtown and she cleared 60k a year, only working 4 days a week.

Phatback i think you were at the XGames movie premiere , swear i saw you there
I worked at restaurants before I started doing hair and it is the same kinda of customer service except with hair I do everything. Serving you have help from other servers and kitchen cooking your food and what not.
Regardless I think everyone should work in that type of atmosphere for atleast 6 months to have a better appreciation if they don't already. Even if I don't get the best service I still tip because everyone has bad days or isn't performing there best. But if someone is just an out right ass to me for no reason and could care less about my business..then thats a diff. story
I sure was!!! With MMS right? that movie was sweeeeeet! I had never seen a 3D movie before!Quote:

My aunt is a stylist, hair cutter, whatever the professional term is. Its def a job i can see where most people dont get tipped. I always tipped like $2 for a normal hair cut back in the day. I thought that was customary. Nowadays i think its totally different.Quote:

Remember that night we all went out to that bar and our server took forever to bring our drinks and I had to run her down for the check?Quote:

Yea i'll tip proportionately to the cost of my meal at higher end restaurants because by that time their already about to wipe me clean, but i've always had no problem giving away a little more than usual or what is standard to waiters, barbers, ect.Quote:

Ummm, I tip my barber. I said MY, this guy, me, MY job is not deemed "tip worthy."Quote:

I tip generously, I have worked in the food service industry as a yout, and I know I hate every mother fucker that ever stiffed me to this very day.
The only place I refuse to tip is Starbucks. Maybe I would if I didn't just pay $29.36 for one Mocha Latte half-calf de-calf with a shot of espresso and a twist of lemon made from beans that were grown on the plains of the Serengeti. But come on... you just ran water over some grounded-up coffee beans. Was it really that hard?
oh ok I won't have to hurt you then. hah jk :goodjob:Quote:
