Tip question
If I use a mobile groomer, which as many of you know, charge about $15 more for a dog than a regular groomer, and the person grooming owns the business, do I still tip also? I know years ago for hairdressers you didnt tip if it was the owner, but my sister who is a hairdresser said that no longer applies so I was wondering about dog grooming and tipping.

I tip the mobile groomer.

I never actually tip cash to the owner of any business, but a nice bottle of booze, perfume, whatever, never went amiss.

Not tipping the owner is Old School. I asked this question of my oldest son and he said BLTW. Everybody started laughing except me because I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. It meant Break Loose Tight Wad. :1rotfl::1rotfl: I was only a question I take care of those who take care of me properly. Never a show-off. :popcorn: |

If you bothered to read my post, I said 'business owners.' Staff, waiters, mail people, bin men etc. are not the subject in question! How many business ownere do you deal with! |

We had a mobile groomer, Grooms 2 Go. Business owner. He is very hard working. I always tipped him. He actually was less expensive than any other groomer we took our golden to.
When we took in a 15-yr-old abandoned foster golden, the dog hadn't been groomed in ages. He was full to the brim with hair. The mobile groomer (I wish I could remember his name) picked the poor thing up (he could barely walk due to untreated arthritis), carried him to the truck, blew the excess hair out with a blow dryer, and gave him a bath, carried him back to the house. $60. Later he told me he drove to an empty field and blew all the hair out of his grooming truck. I loved that guy. We used him for both goldens for a long time. This owner deserved his tips, and his Christmas tip as well. |
I hear it all the time about how cheap Villagers are.
I don't care what the service is, when you receive good service, tip appropriately! |

Always tip for service. I don't know why it would make any difference if it was the owner or not.

Thank you everyone. I was not meaning to be cheap. I was just wondering. I tip very generously, sometimes 40% when I have my hair done. I was just wondering about protocol. Merry Christmas!

I always tip regardless of if its the owner or not. The cost of doing business as a small business is so hi that tips can make a big difference . As long as you can afford it please tip.
|
I tip all service providers.
|
Yes, of course. I always tip service providers.
