The owner makes a very good living as a business owner, makes a percentage off the work of the barbers he/she would employ and probably makes more than me. Those are the reasons I feel there is no need to tip the owner.Not really sure I follow the no tipping the owner bit. I used to tip my barber that worked at a store, but then she opened up her own shop. She charged the same price. Didn't seem right to not tip her at that point.
This I what I was thinking as well.I would hope a $5 tip for a $20 haircut would be considered good. Then again, I've been buzzing my own since my late 30s. Don't miss the whole barber thing one bit.
H ha ha I bet the majority don’t even get that reference.Where's that at, Floyd's barber shop?

It started out that way, but now it's more of a convention. Same as tipping when eating at restaurants. The service has to be really bad not to leave a tip, even if it's bad, you still leave the same tip.As an Aussie I don't entirely "get" the whole tipping system, but wouldn't it depend on how good a job they do, rather than just being a set amount?
I use Tri-Flow aerosol on mine....
What kind of oil do you guys use on your clippers? 0W20? It should have adequate hths for clippers I assume.

There was an Indian restaurant here which was owned by a very nice man and his dragon-lady wife. They got into some sort of trouble and sold the restaurant to the employees, who have done much better with it. Staff since the turnover have told us that the dragon lady used to insist that all tips be turned over to her. At the end of the night, she would give each serving person $10, and pocket the rest. It's a much nicer place to visit now. The food remains very good, and the employees all seem much happier.Above, 4WD said, "...paid my son $20 bucks for a buzz cut... enjoyed being able to... get caught up when he visits … (the mom joins us of course) …"
OMG...Does your wife get the buzz cut too?
Re Pool Tipping: I'm with you. I ALWAYS put any tip into the workers' hand. This is not to say all pools are bad. Wait staff commonly peel off X% (say 20) for the busboys. I believe that's an industry standard and I'm OK with it.
Jars at cash registers can be OK but they're often not proper.
