When you go to a restaurant or to your stylist and they give you a service, do you tip them a standard amount, do you tip according to how happy you were with the service, do you tip according to a mental list of actions the associate takes to ensure yours happiness, or do you just not tip at all for whatever reason.
People in the service industry are paid a number of different ways and it is almost always a little less than people working in other industries. They depend on the tips they receive from you. This ensures that they will do their best to satisfy you during the service. The companies they work for will enjoy a better reputation for good service and the team will enjoy more business and tips from new clients that have heard good things about whatever service their acquaintance received from you. Poor service yields little or no tips and continued poor service results in being terminated from the job completely.
WOW! How often have you considered all of that before tipping anyone that you might tip? Here is another question. Have you ever considered your body as the client and your life choices as the service professional? I know I never have, until now! IT all works the same way. I am finding that with each day, the better choices I make in my life, whether they are sleeping to late, eating poorly or putting off paying a bill on time, my body finds a way to deny me something. I might be tired all day, or worried about the bill or regretful for eating the extra serving of food. I want t start viewing those poor feelings as my body not tipping me after a service. Essentially I depend on those tips for body and mind survival.
Unlike most of us, I do not believe that our bodies will stiff us (so to speak) on a tip, if we do our best to satisfy it during the services we perform. We are going to receive valuable tips every time we do something to better ourselves, whether it is going to bed on time, meeting our exercise goals for the day or saying a prayer before bed. I promise we will be rewarded for everything we do that positively impacts our lives!
Starting today let’s try to remember that our body is our client and to keep it happy and to keep it tipping us appropriately, we have to do our part by making better life choices. After all, the longer we deny our bodies the best we can give it, the quicker we will end up at the unemployment line!
Have a great day everyone!!!
Have loved reading your blogs. Keep it up! As for tipping - I tip according to service. My stylist - ALWAYS happy and I always give him a great tip. Other places where I would typically tip - I've left everything from nothing to 30%.
