My wife tells me I'm behind the times on tipping.
I go to Sport Clips and get the senior haircut for $20.00.
I always tip $5.00.
What do you tip?

Exactly what I do.Since March, I give everyone bigger tips. The woman who owns the barbershop I frequent goes to my church and her kids attended the school where my wife teaches. It's been tough enough for her crew since the spring, first with a mandatory shutdown and then far fewer customers since re-opening, along with the extra effort for ensuring a safe environment. I usually tip $20 for a $20 cut.
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.Twenty percent to the employees and I never tip the owner if he gives the haircut. The haircut is fifteen dollars.
I also say to my server as I'm handing her or him my tip,"This is for you".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.
