Ouch!
Nothing wrong with my area of N4, thank you.
Finsbury Park, you sure?
Gentrified it may be; but it still makes St Mary's look salubrious.
**** America.
In British bars and restaurants, the staff actually get paid a decent enough hourly rate. In America they get paid **** all, hence why the tipping culture is much more important over there. The tips are their wages basically, which is absolute bullshit. The employer should pay the damn staff, not the customer. We already have to pay for the product.
Just some transfer musings.
Vincent Janssen is likely to leave Spurs. I mean, he’s a striker, but he’s not very good, right?
Barca would sell Malcom too. He’s a winger....but good.
Hugely unlikely either one (I’m still hoping there’s legs to the Lookman story, but in the absence of nothing else but haircuts to talk about).

Nothing like a bit of transfer talk to kill the thread.
I am bald......but would also like to see a new striker come in.
So I come in as there were a couple of new pages and its all about haircuts. I pay £25 for mine but that includes them clippering the beard off my face.
Let's sign Bendtner then I can look ITK as I have had this avatar for awhile

I'll be bald before 30 if half of my male relatives are a reflection of my future, but I'll take that as I currently spend £15 every 3 weeks on a trim.
I echo the sentiment that we should buy players.

Who gets the better value haircut, the old boy who is grey, thinning, virtually bald, for £8.50, or the young buck with a full head of hair for £19...
Not specific to you of course BT

Your repeated custom is worth far more than a tip, so I wouldn't worry about not tipping. If you return to the same place, it suggests they do a good job though?

For that money I think I'll open a barbers..........I'm sure I can make money charging a bit less............After all I'm quite handy with a razor!!
I do generally tip, but as I said, only because I don't want to be considered a tight-arse.
I really don't get this 'doing a good job' business. There just doing the job as it should be done. Why should they get extra money on top? And if we are talking about restaurant/bar staff, jeez they have the easiest bloody jobs in the world anyway. "Here, can you carry these plates of food ten metres over there, and remember to smile?"
Ah, but haircuts are not created equally for the same price, time, technique or result; I've had a great and poor £8.50 ones with various time and effort spent on them, as I have had great and poor £15 ones - the good £8.50's I'm very likely to tip.
I've had service and camaraderie at a restaurant which has really improved the experience, therefore I'm likely to tip. "Here, can you carry these plates of food ten metres over there, and remember to smile?" and the fake smile would be insincere, I dont tip out of pity. Tipping staff (the amount) usually reflects the service given, advice, sorting out requirements, dealing with issues, affability and warmth; they're hosting essentially, and as I said a great host host can make a big difference.
but if you were austin and did this, you would be called a **** tipper and a tight arse, no win
staff in restaurants in the uk generally do not get paid a decent hourly wage, not in London anyway. at the end of the day the customers are the ones that pay for the product, so if wages go up so does the cost of the product, your pint will go up in price as well as your burger.
restaurant staff prefer to work in restaurants with a lower house pay but greater tips as its generally cash and not taxed. where i worked in London in was roughly 50/50 house pay to tips with the lowest members of the wait staff on about £27.000 a year 15 years ago so not too shabby.
but it must be a nightmare in the usa where you are expected to tip basically everyone
The biggest tip I've given was out of embarrassment after my lad was an absolute nightmare in the chair.
First time he'd had his haircut with clippers and he just kicked right off, what should have taken 5 minutes took over 15.
The girl doing it was relatively new too and I felt so bad I gave her £15 which ain't far off 100%
She was pretty hot too iirc which may have clouded my judgement.
I don't disagree with you at all about the haircut. That's worthy of a tip if you are pleased with it, sure. And of course you want the hairdresser to do a good job the next time.
But again, regarding the rest of your post (restaurant staff), I just see all of those things as being part of the job. Nobody tips a nurse/firefighter/police officer when they do their job, and those guys actually have something important to do.
If anyone deserves a tip in a restaurant, it's the chef.
I worked in one of the trendy bars in Southampton about 12/13 years ago. The differences in tips received between the female staff and male staff was an absolute piss-take. Guys would be lucky to get over £10 a night, whereas the girls would often clear over £70/80. And it wasn't because they were working harder, because we were able to see at the end of the night who had served the most customers etc. So basically a tipping culture promotes gender inequality. The employer should bare the responsibility and pay everyone equally.
