Sure - but his tips aren't related to his doing an extra special job this time. A barber raising his rates from $9 to $9.50 will get paid the same $10 as before, regardless of how good the haircut is. If it's bad, we will switch barbers. If my grandkids leave a mess at a self-service restaurant, the cleanup crew gets a tip from me. I don't see others doing that though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
