I genuinely enjoy tipping at places that provide a service over an extended period of time. I've had a golf lesson where the guy stayed 15 minutes over to show me some pointers, I've gotten haircuts where the dude takes his time to do it right and is a pleasure to hang out with. Tipping in those scenarios feels like I'm rewarding awesome services.
95% of tipping scenarios aren't that, and it's gotten out of control.
- xur17 3y agoI agree, but only if it truly is voluntary and for someone going above and beyond. Right now there isn't much difference in tip between an okay and a great experience.
- denysvitali 3y agoYes, that's "exceptional" for me. If someone really goes an extra mile without expecting anything in return - they deserve to be tipped. The key word here is deserving it - if it becomes almost mandatory then it's not exceptional anymore
- D13Fd 3y ago> I've gotten haircuts where the dude takes his time to do it right and is a pleasure to hang out with. Wow. I always tip for haircuts, but I’ll tip around 50% if the person is just down to business, efficient, and gets me out of the chair quickly. I’m happy to talk to people to make their day more interesting, but left to my own devices, I'd rather just have the quiet. So basically I’m seeking out and rewarding the opposite behavior than what you are. I can only imagine the whiplash barbers and hairdressers must feel.
