A few weeks ago, I called my hairdresser asking if I could book an appointment today. She called back and said she could see me at 6, and to call her back if that didn't work, otherwise she'd see me then.
Well, today I trek all the way over there (anywhere from 40 minutes or longer by public transit) and she is on her way out! She never wrote my apt in her book. She asked if I could come back tomorrow. The problem with that is it means I will have to come much later, as I already have something I have to do, and that will mess up my Thursday TV!!
So....I said OK. She said she wouldn't charge me. I said I would feel bad about that (it's just her running her own business) so she said how about half price, and I said OK.
So the question is, normally I tip 20%. Tomorrow, do I tip based on the half price, OR do I tip as if it had been the full price, which would make it a massive percentage, but I don't want to be a cheapskate either.
What do you think?
