| Oh no! I took Wrigley to a groomer this week, and I originally was just going to have his teeth brushed, but when we got there we decided to do a bath deal, in which he got a bath, his ears cleaned, and this nails trimmed and I didn't even think about tipping them! Like it didn't even cross my mind! Do you guys tip too for grooming other than a cut? I feel so dumb now, I usually think about stuff like that *dummy!* I don't think there was a tip line on the credit card/debit card thing that you have to sign and give back though... and we never carry cash. bleh I feel dumb now lol |

| I get my dog's groomed at Petco and I tip them (probably more than I would tip at other places because I think they might not make that much) but they don't make it easy for you to tip because you can't add on tip to the bill and you can't pay more and get cash back so you have to plan for it and bring cash. This being said...sometimes I don't tip at all because I just don't have cash with me but I always make sure to let them know and then the next time I will tip $20.

Do they appreciate it? I'm weird as in I don't like pot-lucks and stuff because I don't know what the kitchen looks like where it was made, so as long as they aren't like me I think they would appreciate it. It works out too because we ordered a pet football jersey from them and we have to go back to pick it up in about a week so I'll go back and either tell them I forgot to tip and tip then, or do something like bake cookies with a little note or something. | |
