Since when did tipping become an obligation? Half of the responses here are people ripping on others for not tipping. What buisness of anybodies is it whether they tip or not? And why the hell are there people trying to force their own habits on others? I personally can care less whether the crew I am with tips them or not. Maybe when I make enough money to be able to take the fast way home, instead of going around to avoid the tolls, I will take a different stance on this topic.
Tipping is over the top these days. Everybody expects a tip. It is the hotel shuttle drivers job to pick you up and drop you off at the airport. He makes a normal wage, probably similar to the cleaning people at the hotel, but you don't leave them a tip for cleaning up after you? Restaurants and haircuts is another thing, so are rides to restaurants etc.
Sometimes I tip, sometimes I don't. Depends what mood I am in for the most part. As far as how much, 1$ per bag? If only the rampies had 1$ per bag they load onto the plane..
Exactly. And most of the time tipping is expected but not worked for. If you've traveled abroad to Europe or Asia, the service you get by even walking to a McDonalds is 5 star. Over here people don't even look at you in the eye and walk away when you give em a tip.
