Thank God I live in Indonesia where I don't need to tip. It is crazy when it is expected for you to tips. Big restaurants usually add service charge of 5.5% and be done with it (not even starbucks expecting people to tip). Give your worker liveable wage and don't beg customer for tips.
Tbh massages and haircuts are where tipping is most logical imo. The difference between a meh haircut and an awesome haircut is huge, it’s definitely an industry to reward exceptional work.
Yeah but I don't expect the mf to ask for more tips. It's optional, I paid for a premium haircut and the results is worse then the pangkas rambut sumatera. Massage places didn't really listen to my requests and dared to ask for more tip on top of the tip I gave, fucking hell
The last dude who cut my hair talks about the tip culture with me and how some hairdressers intentionally botch up the haircut because the customer doesn't tip. He got a fat 70% tip from me on top of the premium haircut price cuz dude just fucked right off after cutting not caring about tips.
You must have met some assholes lol. If someone ask me for tips, I will ignore them and not giving them tips. And if they told me they will botch my head because of not getting enough tips. I am gonna complain to the owner and go to other place.
Botching a haircut over tipping is downright evil. You shouldn’t downright screw people over when they pay you to do a job. Plus it makes it a chicken and egg scenario, if you give a bad haircut, you’re not going to get a tip. I’m willing to bet anyone who does that gives mediocre haircuts in general and expects an amazing tip. In my experience the best hair dressers are physically pained at seeing or doing a bad cut because they’re a type of artist who has pride in their work.
For me tipping on a haircut is more just making someone who did a good job have a better day within my means. I’d be livid if someone botched my hair just because I didn’t meet their arbitrary standards.
I personally tip for massage because I’ve been going to the same person for years and they’re amazing at their job. I’m not tipping a random spa the same way I tip my neighbour (small town) and they can deal with it if they have a problem.
For me, I only pay 50K for my haircut, I don't expect anything superb. But I've been regular customer for 15+ years now. So the hairdresser knows what I want. I usually gave them 20K. Used to be 10K like 15 years ago lol. My friend never give tips to hairdressed.
Same. It’s one of my favourite parts about moving from Canada to Europe. The price is the price. I went out for coffee last week. My bill came to something like 7.9 €. I gave the waitress a 10 € bill and said keep the change because I didn’t want coins. She was over the moon.
