so here’s my “no stupid questions”: How on god’s green earth could you possibly afford tipping a barber 20%? Are american barbers dirt cheap or do you just actually consider it perfectly reasonable to pay closer to 100 bucks for someone to trim your hair?
I checked the places near me and yeah a normal-ass haircut STARTS at $50, many places get very close to literally charging 80 bucks for a standard haircut.
$30 bucks maybe gets you a children’s haircut, here. Maybe.
Heh. Username checks out! I didn’t think to look at that.
That boggles my mind. Especially since I’m in a high-cost of living part of Canada and my price is in Canadian dollars (which are worth less than American dollars, which tends to be the internet standard for “$”).
Then again, our prices don’t include tips…but ~$30 (in CAD) is what I pay including a ~20% tip
yeah it’s kind of insane that people still get haircuts, let alone that so many barbershops exist. People complain about cost of living and not affording food and then blow 80 bucks on getting someone to cut their hair…

…a haircut/trim is $80 where you live?
It’s under $30 where I live, and some places are cheaper.

Where the heck is “here” that haircuts are closer to $100 than the are to $0?
