Tipping question

Once I find a good barber I stick with him and usually tip 75% or more. I figure if I can tip a waitress 20% for the food she doesn't even cook, that I eat up in an hour; I sure as heck can pay a trained professional to cut my hair and tip heavy. My haircut makes me look good for several weeks.

Besides, when I walk into the barber shop they push the non tippers out of the chair and get me in toot sweet. Some days you'd think I owned the joint.

I probably average about one or two haircuts a year, so if the person does a good job, they'll get a tip.

Normally I share Mr. Pink's attitude, though. Tipping because society tells you to is dumb.

Then his platoon wouldn't be making him sleep outside the tents for being such a big one ;).

PS.

Tip. The owner has even more expenses than the staff generally.

At an old job of mine one of my co-workers asked our boss, "What is your single biggest expense as a business owner?" His deadpan response: "The staff."
