Tipflation?!?!

How much was it? We do $5 on a $20 haircut but I think I’d do the same even if I was paying $30 a cut. Somewhere along the way I decided it was $5 for a haircut I guess

This was a stylist, and it was over $200. I cut my own hair so I have no frame of reference. Apparently women pay an obscene amount of money on their hair

Well considering how many times I slept on his couch, he does and he knew me when I did have hair. Many moons ago. I believe he is commenting on the early 2000s. And a bad hair day.

But we'd have more entertainment in the I love my wife thread....

[anotherVTskibum]

I thought of this thread after I bought two beers, tipped $3, and then thought about the fact that not only was the bartender just handing me cans, but she didn't even open them. I still feel like tipping was appropriate, but it think that was more the environment and setup (outdoor bar and food sales at a ski area).

Well, I couldn’t get a straight answer on the everyday haircut but the “special” cuts run us $150 apparently. And she tips 20% unless she gets the owner who won’t accept a tip.

[old goat]

I used to go to the barber so I could look at girlie magazines, but since internet porn I just cut what little I still have with clippers.

Getting back to Budtenders, today I was in the U.P. and I went through an indoor drive-thru dispensary. I was having lunch with my FWB at a trendy lunch spot and I went to their website and placed my order, they texted me that my order was ready, so we headed over to the dispensary. You drive inside and there are two lines, Full Service or Express. Real EZ going through the Express line, hand them your ID plus cash, they go inside, come back with weed, change, and your ID. With my Veteran’s discount it came to $151 so I handed them $160 cash and got back $9. Handed the $9 right back and drove off. I feel good about that.

Just paid for a haircut for my daughter, they asked me to enter a tip. Had no fucking idea what to give. The system had 20% or custom. I went with 15%.

It seems to me for things like this, that are priced at $200, there shouldn't be a tip. The other option here is that you head to your local chain hair place and pay $20-30 so it seems like the good service, skill, etc you would normally tip for is baked into this higher price.

That said, I tip $5 on my quarterly $20 haircut. Maybe less depending on how much I have to hear about the haircutters dog, adult child issues, etc.

Apparently OR and WA don't have a tipped wage.

OR - $13.20 - $15.45
WA - $15.74

Tip jars and point of sale tip options have disappeared at unionized Starbucks around here.

"Stylist" is one on those jobs where there is bank to be made. Post COVID, my wife's chick moved her business into here basement. It's not $200 but you do the math and it's a comfy living.

In terms of getting value out of your tip, the person that has the scissors by your neck and has the ability to straight butcher seems worthy.

Except it seems to me that this is precisely the kind of service that should get a tip. They're usually independent contractors paying a large chunk to the salon so they're not necessarily making bank considering everything, the service lasts a long time, and the difference between good service and bad can be dramatic. But WTF do I know, I was flying blind.

And WA hasn't had a separate "tipped wage" in decades, because I remember that from when I lived there in the early 90s.

A perfect example of why tipping is dumb. Just pay people a wage.

How as a random consumer are you supposed to understand the compensation model for every vocation and who is and isn't expecting a tip and what the appropriate tip amount/percentage is?

It seems to me that we have a minimum wage for tipped positions for a reason, tipping is expected there and it's factored into the wage laws. This expansion of tipping into every other facet of life is annoying and often defies a logical application.

[Danno]

No argument, but I'm not going to be that guy who doesn't tip when everyone else sees it as expected

I see it as exactly the opposite if the independent contractor hair stylist is setting the price.

[Danno]

I don't think she set the price. They're just one of those professions that gets screwed.

[Danno]

And I'm not saying I wanted to tip, I'm just saying that if 95% of her clients tip I don't want to be the 5%. In other words, I don't want the answer to the question AITA to be yes.

You gave me a great idea--a combination drive thru dispensary car wash. I'll give you all a link to my go fund me page as soon as I set it up. And no fair anyone beating me too it.

The original gig job.

Just heard this one - tipping appliance delivery people.

Never tipped. Didn't even cross my mind. Am I supposed to?
