Cis Gors/From A Simple Mind: We all know that at restaurants we are to pay 10% or 15% for a tip ... but my question is what about at the beauty shop or barber? How do you tip? I am always afraid if I tip $5 I might be considered a cheapskate ... and if I tip $10 then I feel that is over doing it. So what is the going rate? Personally, I wish companies would pay a decent wage and dump the tip system. In 1958, I was in Miami Beach, Florida with my grandfather ... we came out of the grocery store and the young man from the store unloaded the groceries and took the cart back. My grandfather tipped him $5!!! I saw others doing it too. As a country bumpkin from R.I. I was blown away.

DFO: I tip $2 for a $12 haircut at Sure Cuts.

Cis Q: What do you tip a barber or beauty shop person?
