10 - 15%, 20% if bad weather, etc.  $1.00 at minimum.\n\nThey will remember your tip the next time they deliver to you.

Tipping is definitely something to do if you receive good service. If you feel the driver has done well and taken care of you, tip him. If not, tip him anyways, and you may get better service in the future. Is this someone you see regularly or is there a different driver each time? There are so many variables. Use your best judgement. Tipping will never hurt though...only help.

I asked a friend that very same question a couple years ago b/c I noticed that sometimes her sister would tip and sometimes wouldn't regardless of what type of service we rec.'d.  If I realized she wasn't going to tip that night, when her back was turned, I would pay her tip w/out saying anything--just b/c I have always been taught that you pay tip if you go to a restaurant that has servers.  My friend's reply was that she disagreed w/ her sister's philosopy but, her sister's idea was that not everybody had the money to be able to afford to pay tip every time and so, if she had it that night, she'd pay it.  I was absolutely stunned.  I replied that I had always been taught, if you can't afford the meal and the tip both then, it was obvious that you couldn't afford to eat at that type of restaurant and you went to somewhere else like McD's or Taco Bell or something...or do w/out.  It amazes me how some people try to justify things like that.  Fortunately, my friend disagreed w/ her sister's thinking.  I at that point told her what I believed and let her know that I had many times "covered" her sister's "missing" tip in the past...I think she must have told her sister b/c to my knowledge, she's been paying her tip ever since, whenever we've all 3 been out to eat...

I don't mind tipping at all, but I think a jar by the register with a sign on it saying "tips" is very very tacky.

I can't speak for the UK, but in the states anywhere from pocket change to $5, depending on where you are. If they're particularly good, tip about $10.

I love it fidgety.Reminds me of this one!\nA farmer was sitting in a bar one afternoon,getting slowly drunk.A man came over to talk to him.\n"You look down," said the man."It's a beautiful day.How can you be miserable on a day like this?"\nThe farmer mumbled:"Some things you just can't explain."\n"Come on, tell me about it," said the man."It might help to talk to someone."\n"If you really want to know," said the farmer,"I was sitting in the barn this morning milking my cow and I'd just got the bucket full when she kicked it over with her left leg."\n"Is that all?It's not exactly the end of the world."\n"Some things you just can't explain," mumbled the farmer.\n"So what did you do?"\n"I took her left leg and tied it to a post on the left with some rope. Then I carried on milking.Just as I'd got the bucket full again, she kicked it over with her right leg."\n"I can see that would be annoying."\nThe farmer mumbled:"Some things you just can't explain."\n"So what did you do next?"\n"I tied her right leg to the post on the right and carried on milking.Just as the bucket was filling up, she knocked it over with her tail."\n"You must have been angry by now?"\n"Some things you just can't explain," mumbled the farmer.\n"What did you do?"\n"I didn't have any more rope,so I took off my belt and tied her tail to the rafter.At that moment,my pants fell down and my wife walked in.\nSome things you just can't explain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.  ;)

Tipping within the range of 17% to 20% is appropriate.

Well, I can tell you that growing up we had a couple come clean our house every week. They were NEVER tipped (this was only during the 90s, not that long ago!). When I call a service to clean the house now, I still do not tip. Tipping is something that is reserved for excellent service in a service industry where the worker is not being paid even minimum wage. \n\nAs far as I'm concerned, the whole "tipping" thing has gotten way out of control. Starbucks workers, Subway workers, bowling alley workers, etc all have out their "gimme" cups asking for more money. Well guess what? If you all want more money, talk to your employer about that. It is not my responsibility to provide you with a living wage. \n\nSo in answer to your question, I do not think housecleaners should be tipped at any time OTHER than a Christmas/holiday tip (which I always give to the pool guy, mailman, garbage men, and the housecleaner if she comes during the season).

I never slapped a cow but my friend said that he did and it is called cow tipping. That means you tip the cow over while he is sleeping, so you better start running because he is mad a hell and he is coming after you.

It could also have something to do with bringing money home and working being called "bringing home the bacon" and you use a fork to eat so if you were going to pay someone else money you would "fork over" some of your "bacon"...

Ah, I think you may have got the wrong idea there.  They don't GIVE the tips, they RECEIVE them.  Or rather the waiters do.\n\nWere you asking whether waiters who work in five-star restaurants receive good tips?  I should think so.  Even if people use the 15% rule (and many go further), the more expensive the dinner, the bigger the tip.  If you give superior service, which you should in a high-class restaurant, you should get more like 20%.

the best person to ask for tips is your boyfriend. Talk to each other while you are at it.

Forget Proper! Go based on the quality of the procedure itself, and the temperment of the person that did it! \nI think there is too much put into what you are "supposed" to leave, that people in customer service, waitresses etc, forget their manners, just figure they are OWED that tip. Screw that!
