YATT: tipping dilemma. serious thread

[leper84]

make his day, give him the $20 still and the coupon.

This. You've been going for 5 years= he's been doing a good job for 5 years. That tip would make his day.

Else, if you need to, just give him the same tip for the same job you've always given him. The coupon is irrelevant to this. Or, round it up to $15 total.

My hair's thick and very straight. Only a master barber of Asian descent can cut my hair well. And I tip him well.

Tip should be based on the original price.

I pay $20 for a haircut and tip her $5. I double it at Christmas time.

well, i do cut my hair with him twice a month and give a $50 gift card for xmas. that should be good enough.

This is where percentage based tipping falls apart. Either he did a $7 job, or he didn't. It was worth $7 last month, why not this month? Why not give him an extra dollar since you got free money, and that makes it 2 bills; easy.

I give better tips at Dennys percentage wise than I do at good restaurants. They're still there busting their asses, so I tip what I think it's worth, or at least somewhere close.

Yeah this is the thing about percentage tipping that I disagree with too, the server who brings you a $10 lunch is busting their hump as hard as someone who brings you a $30 dinner. I think that the people who work in "budget" restaurants work harder typically then "upscale" locations but get paid less.
