"I was ripped off"

Had my haircut today, the place I normally go was full and I really wanted to get it cut as soon as possible, meaning I had to go to a nearby salon type place.

Cutting my hair is fairly simple, it doesn't even require scissors. I have a number 4 on top and a 3 around the back and sides. Easy, yes? Normally I pay £3.50 for this, which some may say is a bit expensive but today I almost had a heart attack after hearing the price.

Rip-off merchant: "That'll be £9, please."
Me: "£9!!!!"
Rip-off merchant: "Yeah, £9. Oh no, wait, you're under 18 so it's less."
Me: *sigh of relief*
Rip-off merchant: "It's actually £8."
Me: *shocked again, but pay anyway*

I only had £8 on me, it was unbelievable. It wasn't even a particuarly good cut, I think it was somebody on work experience that did it. Bah.

£5.50 is still well under £8 though.

I pay 10.50 for a haircut.

And then I susally tip them 1.50, because they give really good cuts.

Work Experience is quite over a week ago, It might be a new worker that cutetd your hair.

Yeh me too and its not exactly a fancy cut either. I can't believe some people actually pay £5 or less. Down here in Surrey *pauses for gasps of awe* £10 is a good price and you're moaning about paying more than a fiver to get your hair cut? Booo

I cut mine myself...

Just an easy 9mm all over....

... grows to about 1 inch, or so, then I do it again.

I just slice mine off myself.

Number 2 all over.

Job done.

But all they have to do is run the clippers over a couple of times. It's not hard, and £8 for less than 20 minutes work seems a bit over the top considering the difficulty levels.
