No I dont mean advice. I mean the money.
When do you actually tip. When you actually dont.
Here is the break down.
You do not need to tip the 10% of your meal value after 50$. OMG thats a rip off right? No its not. You are going to get the same service if you order a chicken finger meal its about the same thing as the ribs.
HOWEVER i do believe in tipping. Its a service rendered. Also if the person does an awesome job, tip. Dont forget that the wagers of those who receive tip is less than those who are working regular job without tip. This is the trade off.
So here are the circumstances that i would tip or not.
Receiving Food/Delivery: Tip. 5$ at most...then i might as well order light.(Basically pizza guy counts...since my meal is made already)
Booze/Bartending: tip well and tip often. Dont be stingy too.
Coatcheck: tip enough because if you really like that jacket...you want it back.
Waitressing: You start off at 10%. Then it goes down a dollar every time you have to correct them. "Can i get a refill, can i get some water, how fast my food gets here...etc etc etc..." If they get 2$...they shouldnt bitch at the fact that i could have done everything for them.
Hotel: Not much...they are paid by the hotel to carry your bag. IF you decide to make it a chore..then fork over some $. Your the idiot who decided to bring the kitchen sink so pay up!
Taxi: Considering that i drive. IF they drive faster and have the faster lane...that is what i am paying for already. But i wouldnt go too far, but rather think not to do it again.

You have to tip taxi drivers, valet drivers, and bell hops at hotels. It's just the poliete thing to do. A lot of these guys get paid crapola.
ReplyDeleteTaxi drivers for example have to pay a certain dollar amount to their company every week, so if its a slow week they are basically working to have "Champlain" lit up on top of their cab.
Bell hops get paid the same wages as waiters do..very shit pay and they make up for it in tips. Always tip people while you are on vacation, they are the ones who help make your trip more enjoyable!!
