Honestly can't understand what you are trying to ask... Is it about waitresses who are being shorted tips? Or don't declare tips?\n\nCheers

Yes you should tip. Basically we tip just as if we were at the restaurant? No less than 15% Though 20% is our rule for the majority. We have found the better tip gets him to our place a little quicker and with hotter food the next time.\n Tips does mean : To Insure Prompt Service

Sadly, I ALWAYS tip well...minimum of 20% on the bill including tax even when the service is terrible.  \n\nI will probably always tip well, BUT somtimes I wish good service dictated the tip, but I don't feel that way most times.

We normaly tip $3 unless the weather is bad, then we tip a little more. No tip if they are rude.

As far as I know, it isn't the law to tip anywhere. The whole idea of tipping began in European coffee houses 300 years ago. The clerks at the store would leave a cup out with the words To Insure Prompt Service written on it. Customers would put extra money in the cup, and as a result, they would receive faster service. Tipping isn't a law, but 20% is the norm.

Restaurants pay partial wages, but it's way below minimum wage. When waiters combine both their wages and tips, however, it usually exceeds minimum wages. Restaurants can offer waiters the choice of being paid minimum wage and not receiving tips instead, meaning that the waiter would have to turn the tips into the restaurant. But in most cases, the waiter would actually end up making less to go for minimum wage payments alone.\n\nThere is a historical reason for this, however. Once upon a time, when inns and restaurants were privately owned, the owner or a family member of the owner would wait on tables himself, so he didn't expect a separate payment for waiting on customers. In larger establishments, waiters were often relatively poor people who just worked for the free food and perhaps a place to sleep. They didn't receive wages per se. It's as if they were simply a contract laborer who took on a small part of the responsibilities of the owner in exchange for the right to collect a little additional money from the customers. Therefore, customers who wanted good service would tip the waiter (or promise a large tip later) in order to get him to work harder. The tip was perceived as a small token of thanks which the waiter could use to buy himself a drink at the end of the day. \n\nInterestingly enough, the French word for "tip" is "pourboire," which means "for drinking," hinting at the historical practice of giving tokens of thanks to the waiter so he can buy himself a drink.\n\nThe tradition endures partly because restaurants don't want to spend the additional money, partly because society rationalizes it because waiting doesn't require any type of degree, partly because customers like being in control of using the promise of tips to motivate their waiters and figuring the amount of the tip to reward or punish their waiters. Some countries are straying away from this, however, and these days in many establishments the tip is included in the price, or as the French say, "le service est compris." Americans would be quick to argue, however, that the services in establishments where the tip is included is never as good. Then again, there's no reason to assume that an additional bribe in the right circumstances wouldn't make your waiter a little more attentive!

This always bothers me, especially when the waiter/waitress has been there for the majority of the meal; however, my husband used to be a waiter and has told me that if your server goes home and gives your table to another server, they are giving the tip to them also, for allowing them to go home.  Unless it is a rather large bill (and hopefully a large tip), in which case, the server would probably opt to keep their table and work a longer shift.

it's absolutely up to you.  Tipping is an individual thing, but if you like your hair cut, and want to continue going to the same stylist, tip as much as you can afford.  15% is the *bare* minimum.

you can tip him anywhere from $2.00-$5.00  but I think that IKEA doesn't allow their employees to accept tips.

You should definitely tip her once a year, during the holidays, and whenever she does something really out of the ordinary or helpful. You can tuck the tip into a thank you note that acknowledges her extraordinary service--use whether or not her action has merited a note to determine whether a gratuity is appropriate in this instance.

It all depends on the situation. \nIf it's strictly that the food was bad, it's the kitchen's fault so I still tip but may mention the bad food to the server.\nIf it's that I can tell they are having a rough night and are just overly busy, I still tip.\nIf they are rude, ignore me, or some other purposely unfriendly behavior, I lower their tip dramatically ONLY because most restaurants and bars "tip-out" at the end of the night. Meaning, they have to split their tips with other staff like bar backs, kitchen, and managers. I don't really feel like those people should be completely punished for that servers behavior so I still give a tip, it's just between 10-15%. If it's truly bad, I may even speak to a manager. \nI feel like leaving pennies to insult them will just make them take it out on the next patron.

Yes, you will probably get wages if you are an employee at a restaurant. No matter how long you stay.

It is customary to tip 15-20% for any services. It does not matter if it is $10 or $200 there is not a flat dollar amount. It is no different than tipping when you go out to eat. If the service is $90 and is great you would tip $18 if it's good tip $13.50 if it's bad use your discretion. Especially if you go to the same hairdresser regularly. This way they will get you an appt in a pinch or take special attention to your requests.

I have never tipped for the delivery of a mattress or appliance.  Many stores nowadays charge a delivery fee.  I have also never had anyone even stand around as if waiting for a tip when it comes to a mattress or appliance.

Typically you should tip a housekeeper at Christmas time.  Also, on special occasions or before or after a big party.  If you tip every week then you should continue that as if it were a part of the regular pay.
