The place where I get my haircut accepts credit cards but they will not accept a tip on credit card. Therefore, I always find myself having to come back later in the day or the next day to give a tip to the person who cuts my hair. Eventually, I got so annoyed by this I stopped going there.

My barber is actually cash only, now that I think about it. It's a sort of independent operation run by a few guys in their twenties, but I'm sure they mostly do it for the nostalgia factor.

A comprehensive cut costs 16, which means they pretty much always get a 25 percent tip. Pretty good system they've got.

EDIT: and at least twice I've forgotten and had to IOU them.
