Tipping

Tipping

To Insure Promptness. That's where the word "tip" comes from.

You know I don't understand why the receptionist at the beauty salon doesn't get a tip. Who pours over the books looking for an appointment time that fits everyone's schedule and makes sure everyone is happy? The receptionist.

Who greets everyone and handles the phones and stands in as the employee monitor "Where's Sara? Did Jenny come back from lunch yet?" The receptionist.

Who has to deal with the complaints and rude comments and handle the tip money for the shy customers? The receptionist.

I do not see why the receptionist doesn't get a share of the tips. Receptionists at beauty salons don't make much over minimum wage, if not minimum wage itself... why are they kept away from their share of the tips when they do so MUCH in the way of customer service? Some receptionists do MORE customer service in a day than anyone else in the shop does! It's stupid and it doesn't make sense to me.

But don't really tip the receptionist, even tho she deserves it because she can't legally keep tips. This is a tip to the hair dressers at the salon: Take the receptionist out to lunch at least once a week, she gives your clients as much customer service as you do!
