Who and how much do you tip during the holiday season?

Generally the guys at the house pitch in for our mail-lady for Christmas, but thats just us, and considering we are a Frat, and our postal lady is good looking.. well you get the idea.\n\nAs for Bar-tenders, if you happen to go to a bar during Christmas, make sure you tip well, remember that most bar tenders are college or university students who make next to nothing, and are away from home to pay education. Just a thought.. don't be a jerk when you get a brew

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 think it's correct to tip on the pre-tax amount, since the tip reflects on the quality of service given to you by the restaurant, which you are paying for in the subtotal.  tipping on the post-tax amount is like tipping for the government's cut.. doesn't really make sense.\n\nmany people i know use the tax amount to calculate the tip (if it's 8%, just double the tax amt to get 15%) so most folks probably tip on the subtotal.

On a personal level I do not tip if a service charge is added to the bill. The amoult you tip is up to you, if you think the level of service was good and you think that the server warrents a tip then do so. If the service was bad then there no reason why you should tip.

What is a normal tip for services?\n\nA tip should typically fall within the 15% to 20% range.  (This is before tax is added.)\n\nAre there circumstances when you should tip more than 15% to 20%?      \n\nIf the service provider either did something out of the ordinary or did something that took a great deal of time (such as major make-overs, color correction, etc.) you might want to consider leaving a larger tip.\n\nWho else should you tip other than the person who performs the service?\n\nAt a salon, you should tip the person who shampoos your hair ($5) and the person who blow dries your hair other than the stylist ($10).  It is not necessary to tip the receptionist or someone who brings you a drink

Ok, I want to know what state you people live in.  I live in California and EVERYONE gets at least the minimum wage of $6.75 an hour (even waitresses) and then they get tips on top of that.  I know because I used to be a waitress in an Italian restraunt.  And in January, minimum wage is going up to $7 something an hr.  So dude, I have to agree with you.  Tips were just an extra bonus for me.  I don't see why we need to tip here in Cali.  Service sucks, it is expensive AND the waitresses get paid better than anywhere already.  So if there are any waitresses complaining about their $2 an hour, move to Cali and get treated with better pay.  No one gets a measly $2 an hour here.  Is that even legal?  Sad.

Usually you have to tip the maître d' $10 or $20.

If it's a small staff, I agree with the person who said $20 to $40. If it's a larger staff, like in the building I used to live in, then I would suggest maybe a nice big gift basket with goodies for everyone to share on shift. We gave our morning and evening staff each (so no shift was shafted) a great basket filled with delicious snacks (no re-gifting gift baskets!) and bought a box of coffee from Starbucks. That way no one's comparing how much you gave them, and you're not out tons of money.\n\nWe also gave something extra to the two staff members who were most helpful to us. To one who was always reading, we gave a $25 Barnes & Noble card. To the one who was always high on coffee, a $25 Starbucks card.

In general, no.\n\nA tip is supposed to be for someone who provides you service.  When discussing food, this generally refers to taking your order, bringing the food to the table, etc.\n\nYou don't normally tip the cook, or the cashier, and since these are the only people you interface with during a pick-up transaction, a tip is not necessary.

yes the tips make up for the lower slary, it all depends on the type of place yolu apply at, the more expensive the restaraunt the more you will make.

I tip movers and when I get my pizza you bet I tip the guy/gal who brings it. In fact I tip my hairdresser, my manicurist, my esthetician (the gal who does my eyebrows), the valet... Maybe you're not hanging out with the right kind of people ;-)
