Why the f would I tip my barber? I'm already paying him for the haircut!

I had a $20 to the korean lady who buzzes my head. The $5 tip for the $15 haircut is easier than navigating change. Keeps the flow moving ao she can just yell next and we're good.

I was raised to do that. Did it for decades. 🤷‍♀️

Barbers generally have to rent chairs in salons, so a massive chunk of the fee you pay them goes directly to the salon owner.

Really? I've never heard of barbers having to rent chairs. Where I'm from they're employees of the barbershop and get payed an hourly wage.

Then wtf you mean? If they payed by the hour then you did NOT just pay them for the cut. You paid they're employer.

I payed the establishment for the service. The barber is payed a fair wage by the barbershop and did exactly what his job requires. Why is a tip necessary?

[-] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

In those perfect circumstances, it isn't. The world we live in is far from that.

Yes. But what does that have to do with tipping?
