Anisoptera 02/11/18 12:57:26 PM #6:	What sucks about living in America is that you can't get a haircut if you don't have cash. A lot of barber shops don't accept credit/debit cards and if you don't have cash you don't have cash to tip. Remember that barbers are paying to work there (renting a chair) so they do need the extra money. <cite>Anisoptera posted [p:895884349] in Do America...

Mine is mom and pop and they accept credit. i write in the tip a lot of the time.
