Who Are The People You Are Supposed To Give Tips To?

[AdolfOliverBush]

I guess there's more people out there you are supposed to tip than I realized. I always knew you should tip your waiter/waitress. I learned when I was 16 that you should tip the pizza delivery guy/girl when I became one and because they have to use a lot of their money to pay for gas and engine repairs on their vehicle while performing their job.

I was just getting my car washed and saw the guy in front of me tip the guy wiping down his car. So I did the same and gave the guy $2. He said, "Thank you" and walked away. When I opened my trunk to get some things out that I had placed in there the guy comes walking back and starts wiping down the inside of my trunk. I wondered if he would have done that if I had not tipped him.

I also heard that you are supposed to leave a tip on your pillow when you check out of your hotel room for the maid, but I have not done that yet. Is there anyone else that you could/should tip?

You tip taxi drivers, waiters, and anybody with a tip jar. And some people do leave a tip for the maid, but I'm willing to bet that group is a minority.

I work in a restaurant, by the way, and it's always nice to tip the waiter at least 15%, even if they're a dick, because it's such a bullshit job and you never know what kind of crap they have to deal with outside the dining room. I don't work in the dining room myself, but I feel for those that do.

Most of my money made as a pizza delivery driver was off tips, they gave me 50cent a delivery but thats only a few bucks in the outcome...

good question, cuz today i went to sonic's and went thru tha drive thru. when u go thru they have to bring that shit out to you. i've alwayz wondered if i'm supposed to tip em cuz they bring it out to you so i jus usually let em keep tha change. r we supposed to tip em? fold.

I tip everyone, haha. That's why I am not allowed to go places.

We were at a chinese buffet and you get your own plates/food/etc, but the staff brings you drinks and takes away used plates. My friend said we didn't tip at the buffet because they don't BRING you food. But I felt like they were working too hard not to get a tip so I left one.

I am also a generous tipper ( Unless the service sucks.. in which case I am a nice tipper.) and I leave more than 15-20%. Why? Because serving people is hard and some people make pennies. And I figure if I am nice to them and tip them good, they may feel a little bit better later if they have an evil customer.

i always tip fat............ 20-115% depending on the service.............. unless it sux in that case i tip 0

 

[Codeine]

This thread reminds me of the beginning of "Reservoir Dogs".

Anyway.....I always leave a tip for anybody who deserves a tip.

yo im with you on that one. shit i tip good when it's deserved even sometimes when they do a subpar job, but shit when the service is really shit, and i mean as shitty as can be. i tip a big fat 0. shit when i pay with my card and shit, i write the word ZERO on it. other than that i tip way more than i should, but hey sometimes the money is good and the service is at the same time.

i leave a tip at buffets, like dude said, they get your plates and bring you your drink, even just a dollar here and there.

Here's a question? Has you ever been serviced so bad that when you had the chance to walk on the bill you did?

I fucking hate people who do that shit. It's a slap in the face lol

That wasn't a dude, bro.

Never walked out because the service was bad, I've only walked out cuz I used to be a punk.

 

[nefar559]

tip the dude in the street corner holding a sign that reads "will work for food."

 

[vinylfiend]

How about takeout food? If your picking up some food "to go" are you supposed to tip? I always figured that you only tip if you are sitting down and dining in at the restaurant.

 

[Tuaroa]

how about people that deliver pizza that has free delivery? do you still tip then? shit i always felt bad so i do anyways.

 

[esefcee]

what about those fools that open the door for you to hop into a taxi? like in vegas, taxis already have a designated area to pick up people, so its not like dude is going out of his way for me to get a taxi. all he does is open the door. i could do that shit myself.

 

[YOUNG-$PIDER415]

LMAO.WOW I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW ON THE SICCNESS

 

[KALYN]

I tip whoever is providing me a service.. waiters/waitress, bagboy, cabbie, nail chica, hair chica, bellhop (they can provide a hookup for ANYTHING if you tip well), bartenders, barista.... whatever.. take care of me and I'll take care of you.. I'm never mad to pay for good service...

 

[theYOCarea]

The guy that helps with your bags at the airport. I used to have this dude that cut my hair every week and when I got my hair cut like a week before christmas I gave him a 20 and told him to keep the change really anyone I feel is doing a service and is loyal and good at it I'll give a tip to.

 

[DJ Mark 7]

Here in Vegas EVERYONE who provides u service gets tipped....hell I work for Cingular and I've gotten tipped MANY times already....that shit never happened in The Bay lol.....But especially with people u will deal with again on a regular basis, I always treat them right and they do the same in return....we all gotta eat!

 

[AC Transit]
