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.
Speaking of tip, do you tip the guy who takes your car at the dealership?
No idea, but I remember that valets (similar to repeated food delivery) was another category where a tip upfront made a big difference to where your car was put and how quickly it was delivered upon retrieval.
Do you tip waiters?
I think that's different, since servers are paid a reduced wage based on the presumption that that people will tip 15%.
Do you tip waiters?
Yes, but there the basic thing I'm paying upfront for is the food.
Again, according to Keep the Change, you should always tip on the full value of the service, regardless of Groupons, gift certificates, etc.
Oh sure--and I normally would (have at my waxer, etc). In this case, though, because it was already paid for, I didn't have the chance to see if, say, they had a tip line on the charge receipt.
I used up all my energy at the gym, and now I don't know what to make for dinner. Maybe a sandwich. Although roasted Brussels sprouts with apple & gouda chicken sausage would be ready in about 20 minutes...
I'm back from another flying lesson. Weather had been holding me back to 1 or 2 flights a month since November; this week I went up twice. My instructor is saying I just need one or two more lessons and we can schedule my check ride (the last step before soloing). Stalls are less scary than they use to be (at least planned ones).

That is actually true about many service jobs. I was amazed at the percentage of income that came from tipping for many sectors I hadn't even considered tipping.
I highly recommend Keep the Change as a fun book about who and what amount you should be tipping, with chapters on everything from waiters, beauticians, and taxi drivers, to the less obvious baristas and bathroom attendants. There are even chapters on dominatrixes and prostitutes, as well as strippers and shoeshine men.

This is fascinating. One should tip prostitutes? How much?

In fact, no, it seems prostitutes usually get screwed twice.
