Should I Tip the Groomer?

Have always tipped, except for the one time when my groomer let her assistant butcher "The Girls" faces and topknots. I refused to pay for their negligence. Needless to say, we have a new groomer now.

I'm not a guy but maybe my brains are all messed up also. I feel the same way. It is all I can do to afford the amt for the grooming. I use Petsmart (which does a good job here) and do not even pay till I go to the cashier at the front of the store. I hate the whole tipping for good service thing any way. If you are in customer service you should be doing the best job you can. Though I do tip at times for things.

Although, I would rather NOT tip, I look at it this way, we tip for our hair, and we tip when we go out to eat(which to me is really wrong, as they should have to pay the waitresses more to begin with, it shouldn't be up to the customers to have to pay for an expensive meal and then the rest of the waitresses wages..Actually, you're supposed to tip at hotels also, if your room is nice and clean..

I look at it from the angle what if it were me? There was something out around the holidays about who you should tip and what was appropriate, although I know not everyone agrees with that. Fact is there are just some jobs that that's how it is and what if it was me on that end of it. I've been there also so I tend to be a bit generous with tipping. Waitresses i think usually give part of their tips to the bus boy/girl and hair dressers to the shampoo girl or staff that does the cleaning up (at places like Gene Juarez) etc.

For me personally when there are people that provide me a service and go out of their way for me then I like to show appreciation when deserved as is customary and when appropriate. Obviously I don't tip my attorney, but I would send a card if warranted and that kind of thing.
