Hmm..this is a great post! I always tip servers 15-20%, hairdresser usually $5-10, etc. I generally don't tip at self-serve cafe's, etc. (coffee shop) but when it comes to groomers...since I don't have a dog, I can only say what I would do, but I would definately tip a little something maybe even just round it up so if it costs $45 then I would pay $50. I don't know about the "big box" pet stores (if I ever used them) but if I went to a good groomer regularly, I'd probably do $5 tip and then around xmas time give a bigger tip or little prezzie on top of the usual tip.
It really depends on the service, the quality of the cut and how they handle the dog... |
