Ah yes! That twist (er, and the handcuffs) was what moved me to commit fic.
Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Very much yes to the handcuffs.
It's Plei day!! Happy Plei day!
Plei Day Happies!
Salon tipping etiquette: I know that if the owner is performing the waxing/haircut/whatever, you don't tip.
What do you do when the owner is also your friend? She's still the owner, and therefore I wouldn't normally tip. And then, it seems weird to give a friend a monetary gratuity.
Tip: yes/no? Bring her a shell ashtray from vacation?
Steph, I tipped, FWIW (when I was having my hair cut by the owner). I figure everyone needs money.
I just don't know if it's tacky to tip one's friend.
Maybe a gift card? they seem less, um, crass than cash, but still spend-able.
Steph, my friend isn't the owner of her salon, but I still tip her.
Steph, I'd stick with the rule about not tipping owners, if that's what you'd do if she wasn't a friend, and bring her the tchotchke.
