Here. Save yourself $27 bucks.

want me to tip the garbage collectors too?

I had a high school friend whose dad would walk out and give his trash men each a bottle of Crown at Christmas time. I saw him do it one year and asked why as he was walking into his garage. He just said "You'd be surprised what they'll pick up for me no questions asked" and kept on walking by.

I usually WAY over tip. Had a gay dude that did an awesome job on my hair back in the day. He’d take about an hour start to finish, including shampoo and eyebrow wax. I think it was $45, but I’d give him $100. I could actually fall asleep in the chair while he was working. It was worth $400/year (haircut every 3 months) to get it done perfectly with zero sales pitch, no talking, just an hour of relaxation.

Nowadays, a good shampoo by a busty 40-something divorcée (at the new place I’ve found) is definitely worth some coin, though not as much. I think they charge $35 for everything. I’ll tip $10 to $15.

Also, I took my oldest son for a cut before Christmas. Mine was shaggy and in desperate need of a cut. But the usual place was closed and the only place open was a super cuts. The “stylist” had a ring of piercings around her lips and on her cheeks. I just got his cut and was honestly a little scared of what my hair would look like when she was done. My wife asked why I didn’t get mine done too and I told her about this Ursula looking chick with the piercings and she said she could put up with the shag until I could get back to my normal guy.

$5 and DGAF about what other people think

$0.

$20 for 15 minutes of work is more than I make hourly. He/she don't need no tip.

I don’t get cuts at trash arse chain joints anymore. They always frick up a relatively easy fade + something I won’t admit to as the downvotes will rain down for douche-Dom.

I see a real barber and he gets my hair the same way every time.

I tip him because he’s good at his job.

It’s pretty easy to keep it under the cloth thing they put on you and time your sips.
Although I did manage one time to pull my drink out one time and knock a big clump of hair in my bourbon. Pissed me off when I took the sip and realized it. LOL

Tip the $5 in cash. They will appreciate it more. Its worth an about an extra $1 to them not having to claim taxes on it.

20% which is basically what you are tipping if the base cost is $22. Not sure why the frick there's an option for a $10 tip on a $22 hair cut.
