Tipping in the service industry

[Joods]

I know... I just get so frustrated when I see people complain that they can't pay their bills, but they are always the ones with the latest electronics or always going out to eat or whatever, yet they can't tip a decent tip? Ugh. Or... here's a good one... they expect me to give them free or drastically reduced costs to do their hair. Nope. Sorry. I charge what I'm worth. The only people who get free services from me are my other half and my kids. I didn't get in this business to give everyone I know a discount.

I agree about service - if a tip is expected, you should tip based on how well the service was performed.
Where I disagree though is with the fact that if someone can afford to go out to eat, they should still tip something. Too many times I see friends sit there and bitch because they are behind in their utility bills, but we're sitting there eating at a restaurant? How is that prioritizing your money? If you can't pay your light bill then you probably shouldn't be eating out anyway.

I totally agree, and I don’t spend my cash unwisely for the most part (I hope lol) but again, people do what they do.

Edit: by the way, in my initial post any “you” was in general and not directed at anyone in particular. So I hope you didn’t take it that way.

I didn't take it that way at all

I know "you" was meant in the general sense.
