Tips Fall As Economy Slows Local Service Businesses
The piece surveys Lawrence salons and eateries as tip income declines reflect broader economic pressure. Christy Mara at Joda and Friends notes 15 to 20 percent lower workload and fewer tips, while Brad Pfromm at Yello Sub, who now relies on walking and buses, says tips are no longer a guaranteed supplement. Sheldon of La Familia sees steady but cautious tipping, recalling past prosperity. The article links rising fuel costs and shrinking disposable income to changing customer generosity and ongoing efforts to maintain service levels.
