After getting a free, complimentary haircut from a stylist-in-training at a Supercuts, how much is the tip supposed to be?
I gave a couple bucks. Should I have tipped more?
I mean, how can you give 20% of zero?
give them 20% of what it would normally cost?
Nah, more than that. If you're getting hooked up, you gotta hook them up. Give them like 50%. You're getting a helluva deal, the least you can do is share in that.
...unless the haircut was shitty or took three hours. Then something like 20-30% is probably fine. Unless they were super nice.

If you're going to join a monastery, go Catholic, move to Belgium and make/drink beer all day.
Or go full person and join the amish? Is that even possible? I'd go for that if I lived in the States.
The Amish are actually pretty rad. Aside from being nice to a fault, and the hardest workers, their philosophy on life is pretty cool, too. They aren't the Luddites people make them out to be; they don't embrace technology for its own sake, but they don't shun it either. They embrace technology only if it enriches their community. So they won't have personal telephones, as they're alienating (think about it, it's true); but they'll have a phone booth in their town, so their businesses can contact clients/vendors. And they're sure as shit not out there proselytizing like other religions, they keep to themselves about that.
