Do you tip owners of their own business no matter what type of business it is?

I'm thinking cleaning business or home hair dressers..ya know that do their own work?

yes - I tip as if they were an employee. They still deserve recognition for their time and effort. I guess I never thought not to.

I've been a piano tuner and piano teacher for 21 years, and not once have I received a tip! I guess it just depends on what type of business you own.

However, I have received many Christmas gifts over the years, much like public school teachers would receive. I'm always appreciative of the gifts, no matter how big or small.

It really depends ... but there is a restaurant, local, that I never tip the owners while I usually double my tip to the woman that works there. The owners are jerks and I feel bad that she has to work for them.
