I am a groomer and I am honest also, those that tip get a few extra benefits and much better treatment, Like if they really need a last min appt and I am booked up I will stay late to squeeze them in, I use my best and prettiest bows on them (and I try to remember what collar Mom really loves too), their dogs get the sofest fleece blankets fo rthei crate while waiting.

I am the owner and I have an employee...I guess I feel jaded when people tell me they don't tip cause I own the place. My other groomer makes MUCH more then I do. i pay rent, phone, electric, advertising, equipment repair, I buy all the eqiupment, pay for all shampoos...on top of the shop bills I also pay over $350 a week in babysitting for my two legged crew.

My employee makes 50%...but before any dog leaves I go over it and fix anything I see that needs to to adjusted (my shop, my standards), she has no expenses cause I pay for all her equipment and supplies and clothing (we have shop clothing) and footwear.

I am appalled that your dog would leave a place dirty! We have a bath system and it was not overly expensive but if I dog feels dirty to me once it is dried it goes back into the tub. Mind you this rarely happens...only time might be if a dog has been on ear meds for an infection and we were no aware of it and the ears feels greasy, but I have no problem for rewashing a dog.
