Barber shop etiquette

[P7ERM]

Right as we run a damn busy Barber shop doing about 600 guys a week we do encounter this often
The Barber will know who came in first they are trained to take notice of such and as a professional they should step inane take control.
But trust me the minute any guy wether in the right or wrong tries to create a fuss they are out …..

I thought this was about etiquette - don't fart, replace the porno mags at the bottom of the stack so that the more junior clientele don't see them...

If you step out of the line you are no longer in the que. Rejoin at the back. No keeping places.

Very much this.
While out shopping a few weeks ago, I joined the queue at KFC in the mall/shopping centre's food court.
A few minutes later a couple of women walked up and stood in front of me, announcing to nobody in particular that they'd checked out the food court alternatives so were now returning to their place in the queue. I wasn't particularly polite in my response and was met with mumbling and moaning when I stepped in front of them and placed my order.

Supermarket deli ticket system might be appropriate here.

Unbelievable!
A barber shop queue to a take away queue is different. You can be waiting in a barber shop for the next barber for 15-45 minutes.

Brilliant, everyone gets to queue sitting down.

Change to a gingerist barbers and you won't experience the problem.

It was quite a long queue.

Exactly. I'd have this if I were running my own barbers as it leaves nobody in doubt as to who is next. I doubt they're even that expensive to install.

I thought it was spelled 'q-u-a-r-t-e-t'?

Nice nails.

Eh?

More importantly, do you leave a tip at the barbers?
Or is that another thread?

Yes, always tip the stylist 15%. Listen, John, I've gotta go, T. Boone Pickens just walked in.
Just joking. No, don't tip the owner of the salon. Okay John? Right? Got it.

Surely you mean 'the barbers are told to'? I can't imagine there is much 'training' required otherwise!
