I tip about 10% on takeout usually--if it's a sit-down restaurant. Not if it's a regular takeout place. With taxi guys we tip for the same reason other places--most don't owntheir taxi and so on. That said, I'm not usually tipping MUCH there.

Happy Scrappy Day!

what if you tip the 2nd stringers? Say you are staying Friday through Monday. Say the weekend is different maid staff. Then you are leaving a tip for someone who has been off all weekend.

t confused with tipping (because that tag isn't closing anytime soon)

That's why I tip at hotels every day, instead of waiting until I'm checking out. It isn't always the same people cleaning the room. Also, if they like me, they're less likely to, say, wash my drinking glasses in the toilet.

Grrr, I'm on hold to talk to someone. I wonder if there is anyone on the other end at all? Or am I on hold until Monday!

Even tipping for maid service is problematical . We stay at B&B's which do have maids, but I see the owners do a lot fo the work to. So it isn't as straight forward as a hotel .

and I tip well at restaurants, but I hate figuring the rest of it out. Mostly because I'm with Vortex and PC. I think jobs should be paid, not dependent on whim .

I tip housekeepers in hotels but I wouldn't tip in a B&B.

I used to tip the pizza guy 20% until one of them told me I was tipping way too much so now I always give him $5.

I give the carryout person a couple bucks.

I leave $1 per person on the table at a buffet.

I bring the lawn guys ice water.

YAY Nora! The job sounds awesome!

I have a new stove and I'm so excited, tomorrow I'm going to start cooking.

I tend not to tip carryout or walk up places unless they`re the kind where you order at the counter but they bring you your food, top off your drinks, bus your table. And I tend not to tip baristas, which is probably not fair to the barista, but I am paying so much for that coffee already!

Also because they tend to have snarky sayings on the tip jar.
