I've got an appointment to get my acrylic nails taken off (two of them popped off yesterday) and my own nails manicured after work. Do I tip the manicurist, and if so, how much?

Yay shrift!
I think I eat better breakfasts on the Atkins diet than otherwise. Today was eggbeaters seasoned with dill, facon, olives, and a wedge of Roaring Forties blue cheese.
Then I went to the park for my first 3 mile walk/jog since early summer, and neither collapsed wheezing nor took unusually long to complete the route. I believe I may reward myself by using up my full daily carb allotment on a BLTBBQ shrimp sandwich. (Not as indulgent as it sounds, as that sandwich will do for two meals and let me spread the wheat out to a slice of bread per.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do I tip the manicurist, and if so, how much?
Yes, 15-20%. But that's what I tip everyone. Actually, depending on how cheap the nail place is, I tip more than that -- a $6 eyebrow wax is definitely worth more to me than a $1 tip.

Yes! I always tip %20 for pretty much anything. The math is relatively easy & I don't have to keep different percentages in my head. Of course that doesn't work for tipping baggage handlers ($2 a bag, right?) or housekeeping at a hotel...shit, i'm realizing that I bet we didn't leave a housekeeping tip when I was in NC with my brother & nieces. I was too crazed getting the nieces together.

Yeah, it's the one thing that's cheap about living here.
Also, I always forget to tip at hotels, and only feel bad about it when it's way too late! That's a weird custom, I think -- most other people I'm tipping, I'm looking at them when they're providing the service.

I am normally pro-cilantro, but my burrito maker went a little heavy on it today.
