[QUOTE=Jersey Niner32;322077]I hate to sound cheap but the guy has a point there.[/QUOTE]
Barbers typically have to pay a fee (rent) to the barber shop owner to cut hair at the particular barber shop. So they get a certain percentage of the cuts (either total cuts that day/week/ etc from all barbers or themselves) and tips.
My haircut costs $15, and then I always give a $5 tip. When I come in I hardly have to wait and I don’t even have to tell the barber what to do.
I guess it is one thing if you go to SuperCuts and no one in there has a clue how to cut hair, then when you go to a real barber shop and get a quality cut.
It's been that way for a long time, I don't see why you're just now noticing it.
I’m not just noticing… I’m just now starting a thread about it, if your not interested move along, if so, make a comment. I thought that’s how this whole message board thing works. :blink:
I guess it got me thinking last night when I took my wife to coldstone for her birthday. She got some chocolate ice cream with some peanut butter and chocolate chips mixed in and it was 5 bucks! I know the ice cream is top notch quality but I could have done the same thing at home for half the price. Then to add insult the guy that spent 2 minutes mixing it up wants a tip for doing his job in the first place?
I’m glad lew worked there before and added some extra info about how coldstone works, that was mainly my point of the thread. I’m surprised they only make minimum wage, with the profit I’m sure they are making on there stuff you would think they could pay their employees a little better. I guess that’s business these days.
[QUOTE=Normmm;322079]Hotels kill me. You tip the bellhop, tip the waiter if you get a drink at the bar, tip the waitress if you eat at the restaurant and then tip the person cleaning your room. I think Seinfeld did an episode about the cleaning lady. I don’t get that one.
Golf courses are bad too. You tip the person who gets your clubs out of the car, you tip the starter, you tip the bartender, you tip the cart girl and then you tip the kid who cleans your clubs after the round.[/QUOTE]
Wow. I need to stop going to cheap courses. I haven’t seen more than the starter or cart girl. I tipped her because I made her go to the clubhouse to get me a drink from the bar. I have never tipped myself for taking the clubs out of the car or cleaning them… :biggrin:

Yeah, it’s not too bad in Charlotte. Carolina Lakes and Ballantyne have all of these amenities. A lot of the course at Myrtle Beach are like this too. World Golf Tour was brutal. They seemed to have somebody every 10 feet. I’m cheap, so I try to avoid those poor kids cleaning the clubs after the round. I did that at a course in Myrtle Beach and the kid got mad. He wrecked the cart as he was taking it back to the cart cleaning area. I had to laugh!
Prostitutes are the worst! You lay down $100 atleast for an hour and unless she lets me cleveland steam her, and donkey punch her then there’s no tip. Those two are for the $50 each, you want a tip I better get a “loose willie”

Haha, I’m guessing your wife doesn’t spend much time on NNN. Glad to see a person can still talk this way after having a child.
How about tipping in the bathroom? I try to avoid the man servant in there. I don’t want smokes, I don’t like that shitty cologne, and I don’t like listening to his phone conversation while I am pissing. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed anyone tip those guys. They is always money in the tip jar though.
