So annoyed- kids haircuts

[quesyrah]

I took DS to a new kids haircut place today. He got a regular haircut for $15. When I went to pay the woman swiped my card and handed me an iPad to sign and select tip. The smallest tip option was $5 which was over 30%!

I was so irritated.

Huh. Yeah, that's not right.

Nope I'd probably do no tip then and scrounge for change.

I happened to have $4 in change from a $20 I used to pay for something at DS's school so I gave her $3.

Oh that's ridiculous!

Was there a no tip option? What if you got a crappy cut that wasn't tip worthy?

Yes, you don't have to select a tip. I mean she did a great job and $5 isn't a lot of money but a 30% tip is ridiculous

That's crazy!! I also just hate being told how much to tip.

There's a taco shop in town who just switched to a system like this. The smallest tip was 20%. Umm you are handing me food in to go boxes, I'm not leaving 20%. Nobody is refilling drinks, clearing plates, etc.

Did she realize that the default is 30%? Maybe she didn't notice.

I have no idea.

It's not her fault anyway, she's not the owner so I doubt she has any control over how their system is set up.

I did email the owner and complain though.
