Speaking of sharing: I have my own pedicure chair. One of the stylist ask if she could use it when I'm not there, to do express pedicures $20. She said she would give me 10% but doesn't. It's $2.00 so I don't want to get tooo bent out of shape over it. A thank you once in a great while would be nice. She also uses my polishes which she never replaces any. I feel the resentment building! I wish I had told her NO!
