I have yet to meet a poor barber. I see them generating over $200 an hour in a cash business. Mine talks about his new house, his Vegas vacations and he’s barely 30.
Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America)

My barber has to do Uber on the side. He sold his shop and now works there for the new owner until his other barber gig grows. He’s a refugee from Mosul and a really great guy, but he’s not getting enough from the barbering.

Having to sell your shop to someone else and then work for them must suck.

Being a refugee from Mossul in Trump’s fashland must suck even worse.

Someone should write a book about a wealthy barber. :)

I know. But they allow themselves to be poor: they consistently vote against their own interests and they don’t unionize.

Nobody gets offended by tips here because if you’re working for tips you are poor.
It’s pretty awful that all of the service people make shit wage, but if they’d just band together and unionize things would get better. Assholes in corporate America can’t show up without a good haircut. Barbers should strike for a month and see what that does to their wages.
