Spa Treatment Tip

Wednesday, April 20th 2011

I'm heading out of town to Las Vegas tomorrow and thought my nails were looking quite shabby so I stopped by the salon down the street. I could get a manicure and pedicure package for a low price so that's what I did. The lady was really nice and did a great job. She also gave me a glass of wine at no cost!

Toward the end of the treatment, she began telling me about her medical issues and the surgery she needed but had to start a 2nd job for health insurance so she could have the surgery. She told me about her prematurely-born baby who she spent all of her money on a few years ago and is still rebuilding her life since...

I don't know if it was all true and the timing seemed too perfect because she was telling me these things only at the end, right before it was time for me to pay and tip.

Well, I like to give her the benefit of the doubt and think the stories are true. I had cash in my wallet for my vacation so I shared some with her. I think she thought so too, because she offered me change. She deserved it for the job she did, regardless of her personal life stories.

Peace :)
