She's not cheap, you must be getting a nice foot massage and some extras with it, otherwise, you're just dumb.


I'm not an asshole.

I tip about $5 for pedi.

If getting mani and pedi I tip $10.

I would have given $5 and not be happy about it. Not my fault he is the line of work where he has to touch crusty feet. Next time, if you go again and I would reconsider, tip as you normally would and take a dollar or 2 off. I hate tipping - hate it because it has reached a point where it is expected and not earned. In this case - he didn't seem to have earned it but what is OP to do - tell the guy you forgot to massage my feet and so I am not tipping you?

Why oh why are there so many bitchy people on this forum. No, next time I would not tip.


Wasn't being a bitch...whenever I knowmI'm going somewherevthat a tip might be appreciated (if deserved, of course) I bring small bills.

If I don't have them I stop on the way and buy something small like a pack of gum or bottled water to break my $20.

Pedicure $25
Paid with CC but tips have to be in cash.
Gave the tech a $20 for change, he gives me gives me all $5s.
He is insisting I was going to tip 20%.
I am a decent tipper, would have likely given $3-$4 (probably $3 in this case as he spent zero time massaging legs/feet).

I was tempted to skip the tip all together.
