    How much should a girl "tip" for like a $50 hair cut? isnt that what it costs most of the time now haha. Interested
    A girl I use to work with still cuts and colors my hair and only charges me $65 when it should be like $85 and I tip her $25

    I leave a deserving tip for restaurant servers/waitresses. Bad service equals bad/no tip. It's all up to the server/waitress. Later, QD.[/QUOTE]

    this basically. I left a 20 for a teenager once, and 13 cents for a bad waitress in Vegas

    i dont think we have ever formally met, although i do see you on barret from time to time (black STI right?)

    I know some of the same people you do, and i think you know who my roomate is.

    I thought it would have been weird if i walked up and was like "hey im vteckidd!" Usually 1 of 2 things happens when i do that:

    1) I get a blank stare like "WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"
    2) I get my ass kicked cause it was someone i talked shit to online.

    i didnt see you until the movie let out and we were both standing on the curb. I was in a silver RX8

    How much a barber charges ?
    I've been going to the same place for 10 years now.. for the last 5 or so years I just give my barber "Jason" @ International Barber Shop on Lawrenceville Suawnee Rd and Riverside ( free plug).. $20..

    Im going to check for signs next time.. I honestly dont know.. If I remember correctly it was 8 bucks 10 years ago.. But I cant remember...


    Today I went to Get 2 tires put on my Toyota.. tipped the guy that did the work 12 bucks...

    I tip accordingly because I used to be a waitress & I know how it feels to work for tips.





    Plus, I also expect tips after sex. :boobies:

    I for the most part at restaurants tip 20% + whatever rounds to the next nearest dollar so I dont have to deal with change. I HATE when I go out with someone and they do not tip properly or at all. That pisses me off to no end! I always go back and throw some down or make it a point to give it to the waitress myself. I was a waitress for about 2 months when I was 17 and it was HELL!! I will never do it again just plainly b/c there are too many people in this world with no respect! Mad props to the ones out there that can handle it!

    As far as barbers/cosmotologist goes, my mom is a cosmo and she has dealt with all kinds of tards. Anywhere from no tips, to perverted men that tip $100 on a $25 hair cut. I do not use her(never allow family to touch you, never works out...lol) I go to a man in Cartersville at a semi-upscale place. They usually charge like $115 for cut and highlight but he cuts me a deal of $70 b/c I have sent him so much clientel and I drive so far. Even then, I still always give him $80, which is not really a good tip, but we have a deal worked out and it works. He is happy, and I am happy. He knows times are hard, so there has been quite a few times where he has cut me huge deals. Even done it free once. All around, people need to tip better when they get their hair done!!!!

    And again to you people that tip shitty or not at all...

    The no skill thing was only for MY haircut (#2 buzz). If they cant get that right.... ugh.

    Its not even about the price - just bang for buck. I'll gladly pay 40 bucks for a haircut that I think is worthwhile.

    So what is you got a shitty haircut but the lady was nice as can be and she was trying her best? for instance someone that just started?

    I believe people make their own tips. Granted I havent always been a ray of sunshine but it reflects in my tips... but then again ive had rays of sunshine coming out my ass and some people just dont care. So basically you never know what to expect.....I have a kid that comes in and and I do the exact same haircut on him that you do (2 all over) and because I sit there and talk to him and make convo and have even taken him when we are closing...he tipped me 20bux....cause he appreciated my effort and service. Its all too each his own. I just know how things go and I am guilty of tipping too much as well...mainly cause I believe in karma and hope that good fortune comes back on me.

    My haircuts are usually $15 and I SOMETIMES leave $5 for the barber. If he takes longer than normal, stops cutting to run his flapper, or has bad breathe....I don't tip. Funny thing is, I have only 2 barbers, lol.

    Well I leave 3 regardless, 5 if my barber was awesome.

    But if you cant do a buzz cut - you dont need to be working in a shop.
    Let me put it this way. If someone fucked up and put transmission fluid into your engine - would you tip them? What if its their first day on the job?

    Exactly - it's not my problem, its the shop's.

    Tips are my only way of income right now while i'm in school. In most restaurants now, we also have to tip out the bussers, bartenders, and the host/hostess. So, if you tip $3 on a $30 tab, 3% of that WE have to tip out to pay them... even if you DON'T order anything from the bar & even if they don't even clean off our tables.

    By Valet only, you mean places that you are required to have your car valet parked, right?

    I'm just making sure, before I go off on a tangent about people not tipping valets. Valets usually work off tips alone, no minimum server wage or anything.

    Yes. Places that Valet only. I have actually tipped places that Valet only to let me park my own car.

    I went to Fogo Friday night and dude parked my car literally in the parking spot in front of the door. He looked at me, I handed him 3 bucks, and he handed me my keys. At Ted's a few weeks ago, I knew there was a self park in the back. I pulled up and said, "I'm going to park it my self." The dude said, "C'mon man, I always wanted to do burnouts in one of those things!" I swear, I could have punched him.

    That would make me weary of Valets, but it's their job. Hopefully no Valet will ever do that to your car.

    My friend watched the valet at 2 urban licks drive straight over a speed bump, bottom out, and stall on top of the speed bump. The dude denied it when I went outside. I told him to give me my keys immediately. Fucking asshole.

    Thats how waiters and waitresses make their money. With great service comes great tips even if I'm a broke ass. Poor service equal shitty tip.

    Damn, that's horrible. But I assure you not all Valets are like that. A few members are valets & there is even an owner of a valet company on the site. Just all the bad experiences don't ever make up for the good service of others.

    ? Even if I had nothing but great experiences with Valets, I would have no use for the service. The ONLY time it would be somewhat useful is if the restaurant only had parking in a garage that was some distance away from the front door. Most restaurants in Atlanta, they park your car around the corner, or even worse, where you can see it when you walk out the front door. I have no qualm with walking to 30 yards to my car.

    Have you seen at least half the people who park? Especially at a nice upscale dinner place? Some nights they get busy and have to double up on parking and "normal" people would never be able to comprehend how to park or get out of the parking lot without hitting someone else.

    What about your female? You park all the way in the back and make her walk with you or do you drop her off at the front door hoping she'll still be there when you get up there? To me, when going to a nice restaurant, I would want Valet parking. I would be a little skeptic about the person parking, but I'm sure they don't pick the first person they find on the street to park cars for their company.

    Then they need to use some of the money that we pay for an expensive meal to buy some more land for parking.

    Damn right I make her walk too. We aren't talking about walking a marathon. At Fogo, Bones, Cheesecake Factory, etc, they park you car a comfortable distance away. The walk is the perfect time to converse about the delightful meal that was just eaten.

    Because just using, let's say $3 from each person that eats there will equal to around half a million dollar not even an acre land in downtown atlanta?

    Just sayin', most places won't argue if you decide to park your own car.
