Tipping

• Tipping 2 Is Enough Posted : 5/13/2006 12:48:23 PM Are you supposed to Tip the groomer at Petco?  I had both dogs in for nail clips in today.  Shakespeare was a beast there but Sophia went without a problem.

• forpaws Posted : 5/13/2006 12:51:57 PM Befor I used to do my own grooming, I used to tip the groomer no matter if my kids were beasts or angels. Just a me thing. It is up to you whether you want to tip or not. If you were treated great, tip is good, if you were treated Poopy, no tip from me either. lol 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Gail Posted : 5/13/2006 4:06:39 PM I tip a groomer as well as I tip my hair dresser.  I look at it this way, they are performing a service for us just as a hair dresser or a food server - they deserve a tip, too. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 5/13/2006 5:24:37 PM When I'm paying for a service, and that person's technique, effort or personal attention "makes the difference" I always tip, and usually pretty darned well.  I tip my groomer 20% or better.    Then again, she's awesome with Billy.  He's happy and loves her, she does an awesome job (I've had the best compliments from others on how smooth it is) and often his skin has been super sore and she's wonderful with him -- we have to keep the coat short to help keep the skin clear.    My major beef lately has been after a new owner took over this place (it's not a 'chain')  and she has a "tip jar" -- and wants you to just add your tip and they  "split" it.  No -- I want HER to get it.  I tip better than average and it's not for someone else.  But for HER.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Brian Berry Posted : 5/13/2006 5:36:14 PM I tip my groomer.  They always do a good job, and they do a lot.  Maggie gets a bath, hair cut, nail clipping, and tooth cleaning.  Plus, they are very good to her, Maggie has some bad arthritis, they atre very gentle with her.   Good job + Great service (for the dog) = Good tip   Thats how i see it anyways[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willowchow Posted : 5/13/2006 5:47:18 PM I always tip.  But,  I will tip extra based on the reports I get on her behavior and also how she looks.  There are times when she looks extra good and they get more on those days.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• 2 Is Enough Posted : 5/13/2006 11:49:39 PM Thanks for all the opinions.    I was just wondering because (at least at my local Petco) they give you the bill and you pay at the main stores register, so I wanted to make sure the groomer got the tip, not that the cashiers drawer was over and it just went on the books as being over.  Maybe I should slip the groomer some $ next time, and see what she tells me to do with it, or if she just says thanks. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 5/14/2006 12:04:59 AM I always slip it TO the groomer.  That's what I was sayinga above - if I like a groomer well enough to tip them, it's MY relationship with that groomer I'm enhancing-- not the general 'kitty' or pot for everyone.  (or the person on the till pocketing it) 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Patt Posted : 5/14/2006 2:23:00 AM Oh oh I'm a bad person.   I've never tipped the groomer.  I use to use a very pricey lady and felt her prices were high and probably included the tip.    I think you are correct though in paying  the bill at the checkout but give the groomer her tip separately.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Brian Berry Posted : 5/14/2006 1:12:07 PM I tip whoever does the grooming/bathing. .  If two seperate people do it, i give them each a tip.  It shouldn't matter if they person owns the place, or if they are just an employee, they did the work, so if you do tip, you should tip them. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
