It depends- do they add a surcharge for traveling to your home, or do you pay the same amount as if you went to their office?  If they do include a surcharge for travel, I would still tip them 15 percent or so (depending on the service of course!).  If they do not charge extra to travel to your home, a tip of 20 to 25 percent is quite reasonable- it takes a lot of time and effort to haul around the massage table, set it up, take it down, do the driving, ect.

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

Generally, when I am on all exp. pd. trip, I still tip.  If a paid limo is picking you up, the tip is usually included in the cost.  But, a few bucks helps to show people you appreciate what they do.  Especially if you have luggage or if the same driver will take you other places.  I have had drivers give me mini tours, suggestions of where to go and not go (important if your new to an area) and even great suggestions for "local" eateries that are better than the usual "Highbrow" cusine!  Just because they know I tip a couple of extra bucks.

You can tip a percentage or a fixed amount.  If you go to one of those inexpensive places in the mall where a men's haircut is like 15 bucks, then a fixed amount like $3 is ok.  If you go to a more expensive place, where a men's cut is $30 and up, 20-25% usually seems to be the norm.  Oh, and if someone other than the hairstylist washes your hair, you have to tip that person a dollar or two as well.

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!

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.

assuming that they have to sing cheesy little tunes when you give them a tip - i assume they will ask you to pipe out a little type of ballad or something.  good luck, i couldnt do it lol

You should only tip when you pick up your car. Actually, I should say you should always tip the person returning your car, and it is ok to tip the person parking your car but that isn't necessary. The recommended tip is $1-2 for both parking and retrieving your car.

yes, if the barber was polite and focused on giving you the cut that you desire i think it is appropriate to give them a little tip. it shows that you have some class. lets say the cut cost you 12.99 and the barber gave you excellent customer service plus the cut you desired I would give him a twenty and tell him to keep the change. It isnt often that he gets a tip that big. You will put a smile on his face and will be remembered the next time. However if you just cannot afford to tip at least give a kind remark.

If someone is serving you, you should take the bill add it and move the decimle point over\nso it should go something like\n\nBill: $12.00\n\n12+12+24.00\n\nmove the decimle point over once to the left and boom.  Tip: $2.40.  of course...its always nice to leave no less than a 4 dollar tip...but thats the actual way i was taught

the bellman's tips totally depends on what type of hotel it is. If it is a big hotel in a big city he makes out like a bandit. If it's a little dump on the highway, forget about it!

I agree to a point. But, with people's wages dependent upon tips for a decent/living wage it would be very insensitive to voice your disapproval for the entire system by poorly tipping, as the waitress has nothing to do with the system, she is merely trying to pay her bills just like the rest of us. Personally, I am a generous tipper on purpose because I try to follow the golden rule--treat others the way I would want to be treated. With that said, I am only a generous tipper if the person truely gave great service and if they give poor service I also lower my tip. I get irritated when people tip everyone the same rate, regardless of how the service was--that best the point of tipping. The tip should reflect your level of satisfaction with the service. Otherwise, why should the waitress give you good service if everyone routinely tips the same. Last, I always tip bartenders very well, even when I am getting a glass of water--reason being...they give you a drink, you tip, you tip well and they'll give you progressively better service throughout the night. Stronger drinks, quicker service etc...Now that makes sense to tip more.
