To all parents.....Should I give this lady a tip?

I would definitely talk to the owner of the salon and let them know what their employees are promoting.
"Why I don't know if y'all know this but one of your nail technicians mentioned... *looks left, looks right, whispers* marijuana. Now luckily my daughter was only using a gift certificate and never did tip her. But for her to speak of legally prescribed medicine to cure my daughter's ailments...shameful. Has she been spending a lot of time around jazz musicians? You know the kind of people I'm talking about. I had expected much more professionalism from the Nail Dreamz staff!"
White people, how do you live being THIS uptight?

its always good to take medical advice from a manicurist.

I would be questioning why your daughter kept the tip money (i.e. to buy a dime bag.)
Aside from the drug debate, my issue on this is that you made it an issue to begin with. The closed-mindedness of some parents with what their kids are subjected to is a bit naive and excessive. Your daughter knows about pot and has conversed in a lot of other issues that you may blanch at. While it MAY be unprofessional, a client/manicurist relationship is that of a confidant, but less money for the hour than a shrink would charge. Just because something is discussed doesn't mean your kid is going to partake in the topic at hand. Making a big deal out of this says more about you than that of the chick doing nails. I can't even imagine the bubble you keep your daughter in, but it's not going to be beneficial to her when down the road.
There's a big difference between what kids talk about, or what kids hear about, and another adult suggesting that your kid partake in something controversial (that an adult SHOULD be able to realize the kid's parents might not like). My kids are not sheltered at all, but my initial reaction would have been annoyance -- which would have nothing to do with keeping my kid in a bubble, and everything to do with some adult butting in to my parenting. (Although, like I said above, on second thought she was only saying, "Talk to your mom about it," and there's really nothing wrong with that.) I also got annoyed when my daughter's teacher told her she was making "a bad decision" because she planned to watch anime all weekend (it's summer break). Obviously I'm not trying to shelter her from... uh, *not* watching anime? Just, you know, let me parent my own kid.0 -
This \m/What would you do?
First I would preheat the oven to 350 degrees, 375 for a dark no-stick pan. Combine the eggs, brownie mix, vegetable oil, and stir till well blended. Fold in the "special" ingredient. Spray the pan with a non-stick spray. Pour into pan and bake for about 35 minutes.
You should use a double boiler pot and heat the special ingrediant to 120F for 45 minutes first, then add it to the mixture after straining the green leaf matter.
Come on you guys, get real! Sautée the special ingredient in butter first,.
No way, combine with butter in the crockpot and keep it on low for 8+ hours.
Or you could just go to the store and buy your edibles. Oh you can't because it's not legal in your state? Pity...:smokin:

Clearly a suggestion for relief from massive migraines is "butting" in on your parenting.
And if THAT isn't enough of a clue that this ***** is stepping on your toes, then her suggesting that your kid talk to you about it is for SURE a challenge. You should throat punch her like a boss...clearly she is out of line.0 -
Actually, no I didn't know that. It is interesting and now I want to do some research on it.If she doesn't seem to care or does not have a prescription for it, than alert her boss, because I sure wouldn't want an employee working for me, while high, and doling out unsolicited and illegal advice to minors.
oh, you know she was high?
are you aware that medical marijuana exists where the cannabinoids have been removed?
no? interesting.
I guess I didn't really express myself correctly. I would come to a conclusion that if someone is telling a random stranger to use pot to help with migraines and also telling them it can be baked into food, than they could very likely be using it. I mean if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its probably not a horse.Well, for starters, you are making an assumption that she uses it. And also assuming that she uses it while working.
Also if you were to assume that she does smoke it, and assuming its not legal where she lives, than it stays in your system for a few days after smoking it so the employer could subject her to a blood test and let her go. Now if she has a RX and the cannabinoids have been removed, (see that Skullshank? I pay attention.), and her employer is aware of this, than while she wouldn't get in trouble, she might need to have a conversation with her boss on professional behavior and appropriate topics for conversation in the work place with customers.
If it is legal where she lives, than I don't know...I guess just talk with your teen and maybe let the employer know what happened. When it comes right down to it, you are still a customer giving them business and your concerns should be addressed.0 -
It stays in your system because it is fat soluable, not because you remain high the next day.0

i dont know where you get your stash but i injected 4 marijuanas last weekend and im still baked as fuarkIt stays in your system because it is fat soluable, not because you remain high the next day.0 -
I think it's okay to discuss..... but not between a manicurist and her client, especially a young teenager. Given that medical marijuana is such a taboo topic, it is just not appropriate to discuss in the workplace...no matter how casual of a place it might be.
How is it taboo exactly? Its LEGAL.
Cigarettes must be taboo as well.
Taboo doesn' t mean illegal. I'm not giving my opinion on it, just stating a fact. The same way talking about anything that divides a culture is taboo. Pot is a topic that divides people, as well as things like gay marriage, other drugs, smoking, etc etc. Doesn't mean they're illegal.
Most companies would probably prefer to keep such talk out of their workplaces and keep the focus on work (unless the company is actually ABOUT those things).

Probably late on the issue, but did the manicurist know how old your daughter was? From my perspective a lot of 14 year olds these days look like 21 or older.
Otherwise, I think this: Medical marijuana use is a hot topic for debate. Should it be used...my thoughts are yes! It is all natural with little to no side effects.
People who use it for said purpose are NOT POTHEADS! They are using this like any other medication. I would rather have it used than oxycontin or valium, or any other rx drug that is highly addictive with known chemical side effects.
I think the idea of tipping her now is a non-issue...0 -

Where can I find this magical marijuana that keeps you high for two days?!0

You guys make me miss weed.
It's one of those things you have to give up when you want to lose weight. Those munchies are killer.0 -
Personally I tend to only tip people who go above and beyond...otherwise their standard wage is what they get paid for - doing their job in a mediocre yet acceptable fashion.
If they exceed that expectation, they get a tip...if they don't, they don't.
That's just me though, my wife hates it.0 -

I wonder about this. Back in the day my husband enjoyed his weed immensely but he was always thin as a rail.0 -

False. I lost over 85 lbs smoking nearly every day. There are strains that are less prone to causing the munchies.0 -
In a few years, this won't even be a debate. Doctors will just prescribe it if it's the effective treatment. Those who find relief with it, and the people who love them, will wonder why it was taboo for so long.
Of course, I don't think cosmetoligists should be doling out medical advice, but if she said "oh, my Dr prescribed legal-medication-x for my migraines and it's been a lifesaver, you should ask about it" would anyone have been offended? So really...it's only "wrong" if you're in a state where it's illegal (and that will change in the near future so what's wrong today won't be wrong in a few years).0 -
She was probably high when she said that.0

There's that, too.0 -
Here's what you do- Use this as a perfect opportunity to talk to your 14 year old about the dangers of drugs/drug use. And explain that while, marijuana can be used for medicinal purposes, that is not an option that works for everyone, and not one that you guys are going to explore at this point.
Then ask your daughter if she has any questions or concerns about it.
A great way to open up dialogue and use it as a teaching moment. Yeah, perhaps the lady should not have been talking about it with a 14 year old, but people are allowed to express there thoughts/opinions. As long as she wasn't trying to sell it to your daughter then there isn't any legal action that can be taken.0 -

"It's one of those things that you DON'T have to give up when you want to lose weight. While those munchies are a killer, you learn to make it work... like with event showers, birthday parties, etc. and other things that you don't wish to give up but still want to enjoy"
I know many many people who smoke weed on occasion and continue to lose weight quite effectively

It's been lots and lots of years since I've partaken, but back then I never came across the strains that were less prone to cause the munchies. And then I'd fall asleep. I wasn't much fun.0 -
What would I do???? :huh:
I would have informed my teenage daughter about "pot" before a manicurist did. Letting her know that some people smoke it for a buzz that happens to be safer than the effects of alcohol and some use it to cope with pain under the supervision of a medical professional. :smokin:
I would also have taught my daughter that when a service is provided for you, such as getting your nails done, that it is PROPER to tip the person who did it and that forgetting and keeping the money is not an option, unless a bad job was done. :noway:
(maybe a quick chat about the birds and the bees would be in order before the tattooed, pierced up druggie at the supermarket explains what condoms are) <<--- Sarcasm at it's highest, just in case anyone thought otherwise.
I like you!
Agreed. A nail tech telling your daughter that pot exists is not the end of the world. Stiffing someone who deserves a tip is quite rude though. And seeing as your daughter is 14 I don't fully believe your story.
And to anyone who believes you should be fired from the essential and dangerous position of painting someone's fingernails for mentioning pot, lighten up.
:laugh:0 -
it's the next day. i would say forget the tip.0

In a few years, this won't even be a debate.
Just because it may be legal across the board in a few years, doesn't mean there won't be people on either side of the "fence". Just saying, lol.0 -

Agreed...and munchies don't happen when you're a regular smoker, imo.0 -
I have chronic migraines. Now, I can say some of the meds are worse than the pain. Really worse. Now, while I disagree about strangers talking to your kid about the medical pot, If it is parent controlled and does not otherwise affect your kids mental functions, baking it, if that is a possibility with medical pot, may be the healthiest way to go.
I have never tried it, but because of this thread, I may be inclined to.0 -
