[quote=Anonymous][quote]It's not "ever increasing percentage" -- it's been 15-20% forever.  And a small tip to the shampoo assistant. Since I've been going to a salon.  Which is once a month for the past 25 years.

If you don't like paying for tips, then do not get the service.  If enough people don't pay for the services, then the structure will change.  But, I am guessing that you are in the small minority that is uncomfortable with tipping.  And you sound like you can't afford the service in the first place.  So try the Hair Cuttery where a 20% tip will cost much less due to the overall price.[/quote]

Maybe you are right and it's been "15-20% forever" in hair salons. But it wasn't always 20% in restaurants. It certainly wasn't 18% expectation at food places where you get your own food at the counter or 15% when you pick up your own take-away. And the list of people you're supposedly obligated to tip, to make up for their low salaries, has definitely gotten longer over the years.

Is 'Stay at home or stay in your plebeian Massage Envy lane' really the only answer that American society has to offer if I'm not 100% happy with it?[/quote]
