    The best tippers are people who once worked for tips.

    When I drove a cab 35 years ago the best tippers were cocktail waitresses and bar tenders. The worse, for some reason, were: doctors, nurses.and blacks. And I am not a racist, just stating the facts.

    The facts as YOU experienced them 35 years ago. Thanks for making it clear that no one should make any blanket statements based on your personal experiences. That would be kind of like me saying, "All old white guys are racists." or "People who work in finance are just concerned about lining their own pockets and not really interested in helping people as much as doctors or teachers."

    Either my wife cuts my hair or I do it myself. HUGE time and money saver. Highly recommend this.

    I concur. One of the best things to come out of my going to Law School was that after my first year I spent $10 on electric clippers and teaching myself to cut my own hair. The decision was made easier by living in a town with a barber who was only there two or three days a week and I am fairly sure he was drunk by mid-morning. At least I hope he was drunk..

    why? Not trying to play devil's advocate here, and I appreciate the tipping culture is different in the States.

    I can understand tipping a waitress or whatever, as you're paying for your drink/meal and then the tip is for the service. But why tip a barber, when you're already paying $X which is entirely for the service of cutting your hair, there's no actual goods being received beyond that.

    Also, just like a lot of waitresses don't own the restaurant, a lot barbers don't on the shop. They tend to get paid similarly to waitresses.

    The big shot above probably has a barber that will come cut his hair on a whim. To some people it could be important to have a fresh cut for an short notice Tuesday morning business meeting, so the barber will cut on his off hours if you tip him like that. You have a much bigger relationship with your barber than your waitress, assuming your not an alcoholic.

    Coherent much ?

    My barbers charge low prices (for NYC): $15 or $17.

    I always tip $5.

    Hi there, Very often i tipped for their well job but i think we should do that whenever they do their job well. It's good idea to say them thanks and also means to say you did job well done.

    My barber makes an office call for me once every two weeks, on Tuesday morning. Quite the convenience and of course he is the best barber in the city in which I reside. Yes I tip him. Also gave him a $500 bonus the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Will give him $1000 the Tuesday before Christmas.

    You did none of those things.
