How much do you tip?

As a former waitress I worked very hard for my living. I gave everyone excellent service and expected to get the standard for very good service which is 20%. The rule is to tip 25% when the atmosphere, food, and service is exceptional. 15% to any server who really gives a hoot about what they are doing is close to an insult. Tipping at full-service restaurants is expected. When I was a kid and would go out for french fries with friends, we would always tip. My mother (a former waitress) always told me, "If you can afford to eat at a restaurant, you can afford to tip."



Just accept the fact that people do these crap jobs for lousy minimum wages because the tips make it worth while and tolerable. If it weren't for tips, I doubt that many people would work in food service as servers.



Movers, I've always used friends so pizza and beer has done the trick, as well as returning the favor.



AAA, I fortunately haven't needed to use. I doubt that I would tip them though, the tow drivers make very nice salaries.



Valet parking $5 usually.



FedEx $0, that's not customary to my knowledge.



Waiter/Waitress minimum 20%.



Hair stylist 10% of total. (It's only supposed to be 5%, but I can't help it.)



Supermarket, I bag my own at the stores I go to most often.



Hotel housekeeping $5-$10/night.



Curbside check-in, don't know where that is done, so I don't have a clue what this is for. Is it for a hotel? I've never done that.



There are many tacky ways that service industry people try to make it clear that a tip is expected. You didn't say what kind of service he was offering, perhaps since you asked, "How much does this cost?" He was indicating that if you didn't know the price perhaps you didn't know that it's a service where tipping is expected.



What bugs me is going to a coffee shop and they have big jars with TIPS on them. All they're doing is a little cashiering and minor "cooking" of a beverage, I don't think that deserves a tip, but I do tip if I "bother" them twice. But I don't really think they are giving great service if I have to go to them. If I was getting table service, I'd happily leave a tip even if it was for coffee and a rice krispy bar.



Oh well, it's nice to get out of the house and if it makes good karma in the world it's easier to tip and keep peace.



Peace.



How much do you tip?
