Back bar fees are common in this province. I agree that it is not fabulous. In essence, the employees pay for the products o er the long term, not the employer, but it is the owner that gets the tax credit and reaps all the profits. This is why I buy my own product, even if I am paid a wage or salary. The owner here at work put eyebrow waxing on special once, and after the back bar was added into the deductions from the commission payouts, staff got a whole dollar for their work. It takes more than a minute to do good brows, so needless to say this special did not get pushed at work.
