So I have a question about tipping people. The other day I got my carpets cleaned. I wondered & wondered if you were to tip those guys or not. They did a GREAT job & so I chose to tip them. But, are they really people you are to tip? Also, when I went to the salon yesterday to get my haircut, I of course tipped my gal as always. But then I had a gift certificate to play with. It was an local Aveda Salon/Spa and so one of the random gals up front was helping me pick out Aveda products & makeup to blow my money on. Should I have tipped HER?  ? It's always confusing as to when to tip or not, and most often I will err on the side of tipping such as in the case of the carpet guys, but that gal at the Salon had me stumped. |

I'm not sure either but, if I get a really good waiter not only do I leave a good tip I also let the manager know what good service I got.
When I get my hair done (I go to the same girl every time) I usually give her $5. I don't think you need to tip the Aveda girl.
Also! When I get my dogs groomed, I tip the groomer.

I tend to tip on the high end, but I have to admit, I don't usually run into those scenarios as I usually just rent a cleaner and to the carpets myself. I don't think you needed to tip the girl who helped you pick out products any more than you would tip a bookseller helping you find the right book. |

Yeah I wouldnt tip her . Most of the time they cant take tips. If a makeup artist does your makeup for an event tip is nice. I could never take tips at Estee Lauder.She also gets a percentage of the product that you buy. I need to get back to work .. Lunch is over lol

Rule of thumb is if it is a service or not. Groomer = service Carpet cleaner = service Wait staff = service Someone pointing you in the right direction on a product = doing their job and not providing a service. Now as I am giving you advice and providing you a service....give me some Karma! j/k of course  ;D |
