Barbershops

Hair cut: left - 10 EU, right - 12 EUR

Why? 

The right barbershop offers WiFi (who needs it in the day and age of plentiful data on phone plans) and free coffee (never saw anyone drinking it and I walked by so many times).

Could the owner be the same?! Did they want to capture both the Windows and the Apple crowd.

In fact once I saw a barber in the cheaper shop accidentally drop the scissors while cutting a client's hair. He just picked them up and continued cutting hair. 

If this had happened to me I would have kept quiet and thought "Yes, what to expect, I chose the cheaper price and this is what I get!"

However, if the same had happened in the more expensive barbershop I would have expected the barber to disinfect/clean the dropped pair of scissors and if not I would have made a big stink that would have not served any purpose in the end as the damage had already done by then (dirty scissors cutting my hair).

My deepest fear is that the barber would have behaved the same.

Hence, as I need neither WiFi nor coffee and if the barber would still use the same dirty scissors the rational economic decision is to go to the cheaper barbershop.
