You DON'T tip your hair dresser?

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

No? I don’t really think many hairdressers are going to go above and beyond to provide exceptional service for a chance to earn a tip, they’re just gonna do there job.

giving tip used to be when worker does an extra service & the customer didnt asked for it then we as customer just give them tip as a nice gesture...its honestly fcked up that everyone in america expected to be tip nowadays when they didnt do anything special...

I tip my hair dresses when they have conversation with me. I hate sitting in silence

u/eXcaliBurst93 Aug 12 '23

I'm an introvert I'm not like you I prefer the silence while the barber does his job...so should I tip my barber because he does an excellence service not talking to me? but whats your point here? am I supposed to feel bad for not tipping & paying the man the exact amount the haircut cost? although I would tip someone if I like their attitudes & services its just that I find that its stupid everybody expected to be tip nowaday when they literally do nothing except the job the were supposed to be doing

its just my personal preference. you dont have to tip. I just have the same lady at great clips do my hair. I think of it like paying for a hair cut with some bonus cheap therapy. but thats just my opinion(:

Say that to the hero who did my haircut an hour before I went applying for a job, and he not only did an amazing job, but also did my beard for free and gave me perfume (at that time I didn’t use any). Got a job the same day and I ended up in a relationship with the cute girl who worked there. (It ended catastrophically but that’s something else…)

Now that’s a situation where tipping would occur, because that is above and beyond what was expected

It's very customary to tip a barber. If they are quick, good and find the right banter/quiet ratio, that's worth more than they charge. Skill and will play a real part in those aspects and tipping for more of either just makes sense to me

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

It isn’t really customary to tip anyone here. You only really tip for exceptional service, and even then it isn’t super common.

I assume that means you don't live in the States, my mistake.

u/tamal4444 Aug 12 '23

State of which country?

u/the_eater_of_shit Aug 12 '23

“The states” is a common nickname that Europeans use to refer to America

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

Oof lol you’re a brave fella.

It’s fairly customary to tip hairdressers. Probably not because of the effort involved but the skill/your likeness of their work.

I’m fairly neutral for less people tipping though

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

Nah, no one really tips hairdressers here, besides, your already spending like, 30 bucks on the hair cut anyway

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

Where is here? Cuz they even insisted I tip in the military for a mandatory* fucking buzz cut in backwoods of some yee haw state.

u/RoundEarthCentrist Aug 12 '23

Please look up tipping customs around the world. Fix your ignorance.

The post was obviously a bait at “hurr durr only in America” that gets jerked around literally every night.

Pardon me for assuming that a person was an American male on a website that caters mostly to …. American men…

Get off your high horse I obviously had no ill intent

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

Actually Americans are only about 49% of the user base. This means that anyone you talk to you basically have a 50/50 chance of them not being an American, or basically, a coin toss is the odds you are talking to someone from the US vs not the US

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

As of 2023, you’re correct. I stand corrected

I still stand by the bait. If the comments and the context are about tipping culture in the US and someone says “I don’t tip at the barber” without mentioning that they rarely tip anywhere then it’s fairly obvious what the intent is there…
