[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The majority of you have obviously never ever work in any service industry. You should ALWAYS tip 20%. If the service was bad tip at your own discretion. It doesn't matter whether you get tipped at your job or not. These people don't make regular wages/salaries. They usually depend on you the consumer for their money so even though your massage may cost 100 dollars, the person who is fighting the carpel tunnel to relax you is probably not even receiving half of that despite what some above think.... The server, masseuse, any type of service is NOT recieving half of anything.[/quote] See this is a problem I have- servers in restaurants (sometimes bartenders, depending on the state but often they are excluded) are pretty much the only people who can get paid under minimum wage. Hairstylists and personal services professionals in the service industry are NOT the same. The 20% in a restaurant that has bled over to any service professional is getting a little out of control, IMO and this is from someone who comes from a family that owned spas! Service industry is not all the same, the tipping is not all the same. Particularly in those situations where you know 100% sure that the person rents the space (they pay rent of course but its WAY lower than a traditional spa where the owner takes a huge cut of the service fee, if not most of it).
