20% is more than reasonable for a barber’s tip. Unlike wait staff that don’t make a living wage, barbers usually make a more fair wage and the tip is an honest “thanks for taking care of me” and not a “Here’s some money so you don’t starve”.
my barbers commute in from 2 hours away, and bitch about bike lanes and progressives destroying the city because they they reduced the 8 parking spots in front of the shop to 4. the owner actively hates cyclists and harasses them.
but then again, so does my coffee shop and pretty much every business on that block. but they also have lgtb flags in their shop windows and those ‘immigrants are welcome here’, because they know it makes their customers feel good to patronize a progressive space.
There are three major cities about two hours from me and I can’t imagine having to drive to any of them more than once a month. Just seems like most of that extra money is spending itself on just the commute.

Ha! I’ll tell my barber he doesn’t need to do Uber anymore, since his day job is paying so well. The guy works all day, sunrise to sunset.
Super cool story.

Why?!?
because they hate the city. but they like the money city people give them.
