Question

Do you really need to leave a tip each time your in a salon or restaurant?

Answer 1

You don't need to do anything you don't feel you need to do. But I think that it's only kind. At a restaurant you have someone waiting on you hand and foot, the least you can do is leave 15% of your total. And if the hair dresser does a great job on your hair why not. I especially leave my hairdresser a great tip if she fits me in at last minute. If you don't want to tip just stay at home and cook or go to a fast food place. And do your own hair, then you determine the outcome and you get any and all of the tips.

Answer 2

I know that people who work in restaurants as waiters or waitresses make their money off of tips. Salons are the same, it's the tips that they work for. Leaving a percentage of what the bill is, is the general practice for restaurants. For salons I believe it's the job they have done for you. Trust me, not leaving a tip and coming back, you might not get the type of service you want - watch your food!!!

Answer 3

I guess its not required at most places. I tihnk you should if you feel like your waiter did a good job. Now I've been left to sit at a table, during my lunch period, for 10-15 mins. In that situation, the tip is gone. If the waiter is great I'm going to be nice. Up to 30%. But I think it changes from place to place too.

Answer 4

usually it is customary to tip in a salon, although i have been to one salon where tips weren't accepted...so most likely in a salon.



in a restaurant, YES!!! depending on where you live, some servers only make $2.13 an hour and rely on the 'generosity', (i.e.-tip) of others to pay their bills. unless you are at McDonald's or another fast food place, ALWAYS TIP YOUR SERVERS!!!

Answer 5

I dont know how the salon works but as far as tiping a waitress yes they only make like 2 something an hour!!!!!

Answer 6

Yes! At a retaurant it is not just "nice" that is their whole paycheck! They only make about 2 dollars an hour, your tip IS their salary.



The Zagat guide says even if you don't like your service leave 10% and never go back.

Answer 7

I never leave a Tip at Mickey D's, well sometimes I do, at the Drive through when I not want to wait for my change.

Answer 8

Hells Yeah, those people make minimum wage, which is really quite minimal. However, if they really suck things up then you don't have to. If they are really good I will tip 30-40%. If they spill hot coffee on my wife, I will tip zero. Usually about 15-20%.

Answer 9

YES! It's the polite thing to do. Most of the time the places you go to, the people don't make that much, they live off their tips.

Answer 10

if you want good service the next time. plus they depend on that as part of their income.



the thing about that, that isn't fair is ... when the kitchen messes up, but the waitress did a good job, and they don't tip.

Answer 11

depends on the service. If the waitress/waiter is rude or you wait too long then no, otherwise yes. 15-25% of ur bill.

Answer 12

you should these ppls wages are based on getting so much in tips ... some waitresses only make 2.50 an hour .. come on tip em good

Answer 13

You should move to Australia, we don't tip anyone. Well, there are tip jars at cafés but that's about all.

We're rude :p

Answer 14

only if you don't plan on going back. But they depend on tips, and if you get good service. why not.

Answer 15

Good manners to leave some.

Answer 16

You don't have to. It is just a nice gesture. It is a way of saying "thankyou, you did a great job" :)

Answer 17

yes, unless they were extremely rude the service sucked

Answer 18

If they do a good job

Answer 19

Answer 20

You don't have to, but I think it's proper etiquette.
