Don't kid yourself . . . The owner of a business expects tips just the same. When my hair stylist used to cut my hair as the owner, I gave him a tip for a job well done and since he has sold the business and rents a chair in another shop, I tip him just the same. I don't want a bad haircut and he aims to please me. I dont have that much on top so cannot afford a slip of the clipper. Could you imagine not tipping the guy who trims your pubes? Next time around, you could be missing one of your jewels!!
