Seriously though, they really get screwed by it because tipping in that industry still isn't as expected as in the hospitality industry - much less at a 20% rate.

When I run for congress........

Well, when people ask her what she does she uses the term hair dresser.



If she said "Oh, I'm a stylist (or something else)" then I'd use that phrase.

I usually tip the individual cutting my hair a simple $3 or $5 if I get a shave from a barber.

I don't know if that's an amount to be ashamed of or not, but I know that most of the girls are not making #### for a living.

They made their bed though, and now they must sleep in it. Tough choices, like all of us accepting the wages we accept when taking any of our jobs.

If the bartender was making less than minimum wage including tips my guess is he'd have a case.

Keep in mind, in America you can sue for anything. This has pros and cons.
