Salon prompts customers to give 90% tip on walk-in haircut: ‘Unreasonable’

Ah, the power of having $2 bills in my wallet to leave as tips...
They misspelled "We are raising prices 10%."
I like the idea of the 10% service fee keeping the products affordable.
Actually, its probably more sinister than that. I was reminded that some states allow for a sub-minimum wage for employees that receive tips. So what they are probably doing is "forcing" you to tip so they don't have to pay minimum wage.
???????????????????
They are charging you more so they don't have to charge you more. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me
It was meant to be sarcastic. It makes no sense to you because it does not equate Will.
Less than minimum wage and likely less than full time employment! I haven't any idea how anyone survives on such income.
If they were smart they would simply raise a $10 sub to $11 and nobody would probably notice
Especially their "not a foot long" footlong! They could have the 11" for $11 promotion!
.....and everyone would think they are getting a great deal.
If every customer tipped an employee a dollar with each purchase, they would likely fight to have and keep their jobs. I simply don't trust the establishment to hand over that 10 %. They are in the business of screwing over their workforce and if all of that tip money is given to the help I'll be more than surprised. The sad fact is that I don't trust the food industry. I tip the person I feel deserves a tip with cash and I never tip the establishment for that very reason.
Perfect commercial on tipping
I got caught up in the segment of the Steve Allen show from the sixties that had Frank Zappa on playing bicycles as musical instruments that followed your clip. Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention were out there. I saw them in a concert in the early seventies. His show opened with the band sitting behind vintage band stands from the forties. Frank came out dressed in a tux and had a band leader baton. He tapped it a couple of times on his music stand, raised his arms to start the first song, and then all hell broke loose. They rocked the place until everyone was wracked in pain. Crazy guy!
