Well how you tip is up to you. When the service has been good I generally like to tip over a dollar.   Apparently in some places you have to tip at least 15% of the bill.   The waiter/ess will even stay at your table until you do so!  Mind you, if the quality is poor(as in waiter/ess attitude) I don't tip at all.

I tip waitresses and cab drivers only. If service is good, I have been known to tip 100%. If service is not good, I tip nothing. Tips are not a right and should not be automatic.\n\nI do not tip anyone else. As a matter of fact, any place I go to that has one of those "Tips, please" jars, I complain to management.

I ignore tip jars at take-out counters.  These people get paid a higher base wage than table service and they do less for me.  I find it ridiculous for them to expect tips.  (A friend of mine was treated so rudely at a take-out counter he reached into the tip jar and took a couple bucks out!)\n\nHowever, I do tip when I receive table service.  The people who serve me there make less than half of minimum wage, and my tip is based on their performance.  I start at 15%, 20% for fine dining, and go up and down from there.  If the service is totally crappy I get a manager and let it be known how bad a time I had.  Often this will result in my not paying for my meal at all, and many restaurants make the server pay in these cases.

I waited tables for 7 years, and yes. But if only the customer was very rude. I licked a lot of soup spoons, and poured a lot of visine into drinks. Don't ever be rude to your waiter. I saw a lot worse, but I could not be that crude.

While I stayed at Portofino Bay Resort in Orlando, I visited the Green Tree Spa.  I had to ask because this was the first time that I had visited a spa.  I was told that most clients tip 15-20%.

Two bucks for one pizza, but if your order consists of two pizzas then you should tip three or four bucks depending on the speed you got your food.  However, if you are really drunk, the weather is really bad, or the delivery driver is a sexy hot blonde then five bucks is a very worthwhile investment.  ;)

No, Tips are for the underpaid staff only. Tipping does not drive service, today it is about volume. Salon Owners could pay more then they do. Some rent the booths to Workers, so even more Income Potential is hidden from you the customer.

well there are lots of things but the one that stands out the most is... this customer who use to come in to my table for lunch ( i was a waitress )everyday..\nthen one day he brought a lady friend with him. They kept on coming in for a while then one day he came in all by him self and i asked him where his lady friend was.( he was so much better looking then her she was really plain Jane... not to be mean ) but i asked him where she was , then i said to him  " You know you could do a lot better then her" He says to me we got married last week... oops... I though I would die... but that was when i was in my twenty's and people except you to talk stupid when you are 20ish....

15-20 % of the service. So if it's a $70.00 massage I tip $15.00. Good enough, even though it is an expensive service, we rely on tips to add to our living $.\nT=o\nI=nsure\nP=rompt\nS=ervice\n\nBetter to serve you next time, give a proper tip!

I should think they're both on about minimum wage.  Tips would depend on how good you are!

Ignore them Sweety; if you wanna make money! You can tell 1 or 2, at most, that you can't there are others who need you also! You can also say, "these guys are bigger tippers!" You have to decide what's more important being waitress #1 or dollars! Good luck Sweety! I'm probably gonna regret saying this <shrug>\n\nhttp://www.willyblues.com/

A glass of water!\nNo seriously, like $5 - $10...\nThat seems fair.\nYou could do 15% of total delivery charge like a restaurant, cause they are doing more work than a waiter.

Your business will increase. However take it from me Your tips won't smokers are generally the more genrous of the two tippers.This does not apply to all but in a genral manner of speaking. I am sure your own experience on who as a barmaid showed you who were more likely to give you the higher tips.

Waiters are usually paid less than minimum wage per hour, so income from tips is essential.  Other service professionals may make more money per hour, but probably less than what their skills are really worth.  Tipping these people helps to keep them enthused about their jobs.\n\nNurses don't make nearly as much money as doctors, but most of them earn a decent living wage with benefits.  Tipping a professional for performing his or her job well is generally not a necessary gesture. You might want to send a thank-you card or provide a service-in-kind, but accepting a tip from a patient would be seen as rude and unprofessional.
