Do you tip your barber after a haircut?

The only time I’ll tip is at Christmas time. Other than that, we have set prices for a reason.

I personally hate forced tips, I’ll always decline them and I have no problem asking them to remove it.

Yeah I usually tip at Christmas time as well. Same with delivery drivers. I tend to use the same place and will order off JustEat. I give the driver a £5 tip at Christmas and that's it.

The Chinese I order from aren't on JustEat and my order including delivery usually comes to £9.10. I just give a tenner.
 
Yes, it’s a tenner and I give twelve, same here and Lanza. Normally I would only give 10% for a tip but a quid/euro seems a bit mean.
 
When you were a kid and your dad made you cut the lawn or wash the car, did you ask for a tip and get back something like, “Look both ways before crossing the road” or “Don’t eat yellow snow” or was it just an East Cleveland thing?
 
It’s an Americanism that’s imbedded itself over here, I will tip if somebody goes above and beyond but I don’t see why we need to constantly tip for every service we receive.

I just hate how there now is this expectancy for people to tip. I went to Signals in Saltburn for a meal recently and the waitress showed me the card machine and said there is an option to pay so much of a percentage of a tip or no tip at all. I literally just went with 10% to spare the embarrassment of declining.

Its worse in the USA, bare minimum tip they expect now is 20% and its pretty much expected you pay it.
 
Difficult. If a barber charges £9 for a haircut I assume that the real price is a tenner so that's what i pay, but my barber has just put his price up to £12 which is kind of a natural price and puts me in a quandary because 'make it thirteen' just doesn't sound right so now he gets f**k all extra. If he charged eleven quid I'd pay twelve and he'd get one pound tax free.

If it got within 2 quid of the next 10 or 5 then I would round up. So 8 I would pay 10. 13 I would pay 15.

If the charge was 11 or 12 then I would just pay the actual fee and not tip.
