My favorite nail salon in Vienna prefers cards + tip included on card. Typically the owner will announce the tip to the technician…

Love that I don’t have to have cash, make change and calculate a tip.

OP here - thanks I went earlier today. They had an ATM on premises and grumbled something about Venmo. I took my chances on the shady looking ATM in the back. I didn’t have a chance to fit a normal bank ATM before I got there but next time definitely will.

It’s so they don’t have to report it on taxes.

Suggest that to the owners?

I wonder if with the newly enforced tax to Venmo such accounts this will go out of favor.

Venmo for tips. They all use it and appreciate it. Nails, hair places do it.

Always use cash

Every nail salon I go to gives me a hard time about using a card.

I always tip in cash and usually pay in cash at the nail salon, since it’s a bit cheaper to do so. It’s the one place I consistently use cash. They have an ATM there, so no biggie.

While true, I keep a cash stash on hand to ensure that the person who provides the service receives the gratuity. Seems like the minimum I can do.

Cash is king for everything especially tips.

I always plan to tip in cash. Depends where you go, some places don’t take cards at all. Not nails but my waxing place offers Venmo for tips instead of cash.

Clearly I haven’t been to one in a really, really long time. Do you still have to tip in cash? Or can you add it to the credit card bill?
