Today my barber thought I said "Add 10" when I really said "add 2"

I thought $5 was standard. Though my son and I get free haircuts for life, according to the lady who cuts my hair, because I hooked up her PC's when she opened her new salon.

If you immediately say: "LOL, no I said 2 not 10", its no biggie, and there is no bad vibe. Once that opportunity passes, its over...you blew it, you could have and should have corrected him.

$10 is no "huge tip" btw, just more than average for a barber. He probably has a good use for the cash, and you have a good use for his service. Win/win for a couple bucks, and makes up a little for all the cheap bastards that don't tip at all. He'll remember.

Do you really expect someone to SAY LOL as your msg says? Do YOU say LOL in rea life? Say it isn't so....

I have, though laughing is just as effective.

A $10 is not that big... just consider it good karma.

YOU may want to replace "LOL", with a sincere "Chuckle" and by "Chuckle", I mean the "act" not the "word".

Of course, myself, I use the literal "LOL", especially with older folks....

$1 tip here.

 

[Schadenfroh]

I do not tip my barber, he owns his own shop so all the money goes to him anyways.

ZOMG MY WALLET IS EMPTY!!

Oh well, just tell him he ripped you off next time and don't pay the full amount. ie. $10 haircut, pay $3.
