Hot Topic
Once again, this week's Hot Topic comes from ChicWIT. A member wanted to know about today's tipping etiquette. Is it proper to tip your hair stylist if he or she is the owner of the salon? And exactly how much should delivery drivers be tipped? Several ChicWIT members weighed in with their opinion. The results were mixed, but many subscribers thought that being up front and asking questions of the business proprietors would eliminate any future faux pas. What is your opinion? Perhaps you could start a discussion on your local list. WorldWIT members are helpful and knowledgeable about a variety of topics. If you have a question about work, your life or just want a recommendation for a good dentist ask your fellow list members! WorldWIT connects women with answers!
