Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I agree with Sox, although I generally take the lead from the delivery people -- sometimes they just put the stuff down and take off, and I don't chase anyone down to tip them.
My favorite example of someone letting you know they expected a tip was this woman at the head of a taxi line in Las Vegas -- she waved you over to your cab with a hand full of cash.
But I'm already paying the delivery fee (it's a small operation, so I'm pretty sure he gets the money) calculated off the fact I have stairs.
Another awesome event in San Francisco: Cupcake Camp
We're mainly geeks, so it's derived from BarCamp.
We will schedule different cupcake tastings for different time slots (e.g. by flavor, baker, or store), similar to how BarCamp works.

If it were me, I would still stick a $10 in my pocket, in case he is expecting a tip.
ION, I just had a long conversation about wedding etiquette, and my boss was saying she got into a huge flamewar on some board by saying she didn't think anyone needed to be invited "and guest" if you didn't want to. What say you people?
I swear to god, all the tipping rules drive me batshit.
Matt, he is clearly going to fit in.
I will say, the rule of thumb in NYC is apparently tip everyone for everything, and more money than you'd think, but I don't necessarily follow that.
What say you people?
I don't think "and guest" is obligatory - no one should have to double a guest list (double the cost!). If the invitee can't possibly appear without guest, the option is to decline.
I don't think you need to invite everyone + guest, but then I have never understood taking a date other then someone you are dating to a wedding/any other event - if I am a guest at a wedding they should know if I am datign someone, right?

That's what we were saying!

This, too -- if I don't know the person's name, I don't need to have them at my wedding! Although my coworkers were saying living together/engaged/married as the barrier for bringing a date, I wouldn't be that strict.
