One doesn't tip CMTs?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh right! Der. I was thinking like EMT. I think you have to be one to do massage here so really wouldn't have impact on tipping or not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, my. Hawaii Five-Oh made me tear up. I feel kinda dirty.

Tonight's progress: [link] Lot of cranny spaces and inventiveness. And need to do paint touchups later.

I've got other stuff to do tomorrow, hope to finish that up on the weekend. Then the second floor spindles. Then the sanding and getting the stain up more. And then I have to figure out stains and finishes. And then I need to fix the floor seal where either stripper or the tape took it up. Spring banister party?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I get about a $25 haircut at a Beauty Brands (about 40 minutes), and I tip $5. On my $14 brow wax (about 7 mins.), I tip $2.
I am a polite, cooperative prompt customer; there's no massages or anything, and that's what I can afford. If I come off as a cheapskate, well, I'm cheap because I'm broke. I tip a few dollars more if I get a terrific, nice stylist who makes me look fab. I have easy, easy hair, so if it's basic, I tip basic.
I tip $10 for a 60 minute massage, unless they talk too much or start late and end on time.
I've never had a shampoo person, so I've never had to tip. I would find it weird to tip someone I assume is making minimum for doing their 5 minute job.
I always tip valets and housekeeping in hotels. They do heavy/gross stuff for shit pay, and tips are part of their salary.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
It came as a big surprise to me that people were expected to tip massage therapists. I think it was on this board during the last tipping discussion that I found out that massage therapists working in a salon/spa environment were expecting tips. My massage therapists have been trained professionals working in a para-medical sense. They've gotten paid at least a dollar a minute to do their work.

Shampoo people at the salon give awesome head massages. I totally tip for that. Especially when I almost fall asleep as a result. I get confused when it is busy and my stylist does it, but I add it to her tip (Plus now she does a shoulder and neck massage pre-cut. LOVE.)
