Anong Gupit Mo?

This is not a read between the line post, I just wanted to write about what I thought about when I had my hair trimmed earlier this morning.

Dalawa ang pinag-pipilian kong salon - yung Petra at Pepita sa may kanto ng Q Ave at Edsa tsaka yung Reyes Haircutters sa Philcoa. They are both on my way home but their price differs. Petra and Pepita Salon charges Php38 for a haircut while the latter charges Php50.

While I was deciding though, I thought Reyes charges a hundred and it made a factor why I chose to go there thinking that if I wanted quality it had to be proportional with the price. If the salon charges one hundred pesos to account for profit, haircutters' labor, and overhead - it is safe to bet that because the haircutter's part in the pie  he will be happier to trim my hair properly.

I was satisfied with the haircut. When I went to the counter the cashier told me that the service costed Php50 only. The pie in my head started to shrink and scream fifty pesos only! The haircutter's portion of the pie started to thin dramatically. How many minutes did the haircutter spend trimming my hair plus the extra minutes he spent redoing the whole thing because I wanted it  a little shorter?
