pictures of me holding things blog 2.0. i love this album.

p.s. the shitty journalist from yesterday published her article about tipping. just as i expected, this city is represented by a idiot opinion columnist who is greedy, cheap, and rude.

Tips on personal services, like haircuts, massages, pedicures, and even the dog groomer, not so much. You are paying for the service, often handsomely, and you get the service. What is the extra you are tipping for?

Get ready, because tips on personal services are also going through the roof. One local hair salon now has a 25 per cent tip programmed into its debit/credit card machine.

wow, paula! what exactly are you tipping for, you ask? for the service, but in particular, for the part of the service that makes you a satisfied customer. here’s the difference: you come in and as for a trim. the hairdresser hacks off 2 inches and sends you on your way. a service is a service. if you’re going to be an ungrateful cunt, then your satisfaction becomes irrelevant to the employee. you’ll pay the same amount regardless of the quality of your haircut. but realistically, you come in, ask for something particular and you fuss around for the whole hour: “i need the layers shorter! this side needs to be more even! don’t blow dry it like that! give me more volume! i want it more smooth!”. so, what is the tip for, you ask? for kissing your ass.

(and just look at the threat of the unholy 25% tip button that’s out to eat your soul/wallet. it’s PROGRAMMED into the machines - and your brain! if you only want to leave 15% the crazy manager will hold a knife at your throat!!!!)
