Possible tipping etiquette snafu....what do you think?

Very gracious to tip, so hard to find someone that thinks of someone else other than themselves. My cosmetologist says I am the ONLY one that tips her!

Anyhoo, my aunt once told me that when someone gives you something don't try to "repay" for a lack of a better word, them back because its like you are cancelling out their blessings. In other words, perhaps they are trying to be a good samaritan and trying the better to give than receive thing... so if you keep giving back, maybe they could see that as different than better to give than to receive... They aren't allowed to be a blessing to them, well you may say, I only want to show my appreciation or be a blessing to them as well. Perhaps there is another way to show you appreciate it.

Maybe sometimes you could give her a tip, like not necessarily every single time. Especially if she is growing uncomfortable with it. Maybe you could do something else entirely... Like if you notice she drinks coffee, or soda or some special snack or something she may prefer... Or just simply keeping it professional and not on the personal note, just ocassionally and also, respect her wishes otherwise, she could mistake your gestures as accusing her of seeing your tip as something she obviously needs... charity somehow... More than likely not, but you know some people don't always see things as others. Sometimes you have to look at all the surroundings behind the gestures. Maybe she has a jealous husband, or girlfriend!@!!! Or... maybe she just wants to do something nice for YOU>>> It also depends on how she "said" don't do it again, you could probably detect in her voice if she was literally offended or teasingly saying so. Some do get offended for different reasons... Do as she asks for a while and then appreciate your haircut, then next few times, tip her- see how that goes... how it all works out for you....

As a server, I consistently discover it smart to maintain a minimum of $5 or $10 in money on you in case you may desire to pay via mastercard. Paying via mastercard is definitely fantastic have faith me. I definitely have worked at eating places the place the server handles the money and that i at the instant paintings at one the place cashiers shelter the money. In my contemporary subject, i could prefer that the custome supply me a tip immediately in money (and confident I definitely have seen a superb variety of purchasers circulate pay their bill and then walk back interior the eating room to individually hand the tip to the server so they understand that they have got been given it). At my eating place, we've had some matters with the busboys taking techniques off the tables. Say you place 6 one greenback expenses on the table. some busboys will take a greenback right here, a greenback there so it does not seem such as you in basic terms have been given thoroughly stiffed on a tip. That gets suspicious in the event that they took all of it at as quickly as. I advise afterall, in case you ,circulate away mutually as i'm putting in yet another tables order and as quickly as I come to the table to get my tip and the bustboys are cleansing it up, how do i understand you definitely placed $6 or $7 there rather of the $5 that I see on the table now that the bussers have taken a greenback or 2. Plus, in eating places the place the cashiers shelter the money, sometimes they ignore to place the mastercard techniques into the pc even once you wrote a tip down on your mastercard slip. Handing the tip individually to the server is the main suitable thank you to establish that they have got been given the tip, noticeably in nonstop busy eating places the place money could desire to easily magically "disappear".

You did a fantastic thing. it is so nice that you are so considerate and really are concerned about helping her. She may want you to not be overly concerned about her, but i doubt that she is offended. Just continue to tip her the very generous 25% in the future.

No, I don't think you offended her at all. I believe she felt your helping out with the computer update was like a tip to her.

well she was returning the favor to you by offering a free haircut. you sneaking in a tip took that glory away from her. when someone wants to do something nice for you it shouldn't cost you money. even if its a tip. her services were meant to be free for you.

Some people have trouble accepting gifts/services if they feel like they haven't earned them. She probably feels like she owes you, and this is her way of being even. Do what she says and let her be even, then continue tipping as usual in the future.

Be gracious and accept what she wants to give you for a job she cannot do.

Continue with your relationship as you have in the past.
