How much do you/should you tip?
Waiters: I know, at least for me, minimum 15%, 20% for good service, but how much for:
Food Delivery: Room Service: Bag Service (luggage carriers): Car Washers: Furniture/Mattress Delivery (this is for Brady): Hair Stylists: Other: I always get confused on these things. Like today I got the car washed, and I tipped 15%. Is that too low, too much? |

nothing. i'm poor and prices are high enough. also i find it to be really rude that it's expected. it should be a plus, if at all.

i always make sure to tip waiters well because ive worked as a waiter and i know it can be a bitch job. but i always got good tips so might as well return the favor.
for the rest i usually tip 10-15%. |

you're supposed to tip the hair stylist 20% unless they're the owner, in which case you can tip less. man, fuck that!!! i have an internal battle about it every time i go to the salon. my hair costs me more than $200 (before tip) for about 1.5 hours of attention, and while the dye is on my hair, the stylist usually cuts someone else's hair. so even though i'm supposed to tip $40, i usually just leave the stylist $20 and the assistant $5. but i feel guilty as hell about it. you're definitely definitely supposed to leave 20%.

the only other things i tip for are cabs and food service (because i never use the other services listed, or someone else is paying). i tip a cab driver $1-$5 depending upon the cost of the trip and the overall service. i think that there is a lack of professionalism in cab driving that is inexcusable. some drivers ask how you want the radio or the air or which route to take and then just leave you alone. others don't offer the AC on a hot day and then bug the hell out of you and drive the long way poorly. fuck that! $1 for them!
i never leave less than $2 (per person) for a tip for my meal. i don't have a set formula, but i always leave 15% or more. |

i tip kinda huge most of the time, well the ones that i can tell are working hard and are all selfless so i try to be selfless in return. in particular i tip really well at brewvies cuz they always always give me free shit and i end up tipping them for what it would've cost anyway. cab drivers i hate tipping cuz most of them drive so shitty.

Food Delivery: Round up the bill. If it's 17, I'll go for 20. Most places have a delivery minimum anyhow, and I usually order more in order to make that minimum, so tough shit.
Room Service: Never ordered it, I'd rather go out when I'm in a hotel Bag Service (luggage carriers): I can carry my own fucking bag Car Washers: No car Furniture/Mattress Delivery (this is for Brady): Zilch, I already paid a premium for delivery on a certain day, and their delivery hours are often 8AM-8PM. They can go fuck themselves, they just dump it in the middle of the room anyhow. Took me all day to move the fucking couch by myself. Hair Stylists: 10%. Bastards never do what you ask anyhow. Nothing if they can't add extra money to the debit machine, I don't carry cash. Other: Taxi driver: 20% for getting my inebriated ass home. |

i got into a ridiculous situation with a mover, where he was sort of my friend or something, but anyway what i'm trying to say here is that he told me that movers really do work almost entirely for tips. they make shit for a base pay. he was pretty proud of what he made, but trust me it was really realy terrible wages to bust his ass all day. it made me sad. tip the movers for sure.

if you think you're paying the movers a lot, you're not. you're paying the owner of the company a lot. but, i mean, if they did a shitty job moving your stuff you shouldn't feel the need to tip.
that's my four posts on the subject. |

No-one in the service industry here in the UK deserves to be tipped.

If you have AAA and need to get towed, the tow truck company gets shit for towing you.
I still don't tip the fuckers though. |
