I love it when people try to impose what they think is the right thing to do on others instead of just doing what they do and let other people do what they do. Otherwise known as "I'm think I'm better than you so you should act like I do"

I have my own set of "rules" as to what constitutes a tip. My rules aren't your rules and your rules aren't my rules. The sooner we can just accept people the way we are and all agree that the real scumbags are in Congress the better.

Sometimes it's all I have. Every month is different for me and it's hard to carry every currency in my pocket.

I just learned our dog groomer expects a tip. I didn’t realize that was a thing. We have become a tipping culture where everyone has their hand out because they did the job they’re getting paid by their employer to do.

While I always give $1 to the hotel van driver and $5 to take me an off hotel location, tipping has become ridiculous.

Tip a barber because they gave a good cut; a masseuse because they gave a good massage. It’s not a minimum wage thing cause my barber drives a nicer car than I do. My job is get you to your destination safely and on time. To give a barber a tip (which I do) for cutting my hair should yield me a tip for a smooth landing; even more of a tip
if I got you there early. Yet I’ll never expect one.

Giving wait staff a reduced wage so that they have to work for their tips only hurts the restaurant. The food still has to be good for me to visit that restaurant. And I still tip 20% almost every time regardless of service.

I tip cause I feel bad if I don’t. F’n service industry.

I’m not a stingy tipper in restaurants domestically because I know how little they make.
Van drivers? Nah...used to but not anymore.

Why tip someone for a job that I am capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair.

I did however tip my Urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stone.

I like the tipping culture. I think it encourages service workers to do a good job. Because I sure don't tip much (or at all) if they don't.

It can even influence factors beyond the worker's control... if workers get poor tips because the employer sets them up to fail, they'll either complain to the boss or quit. Boss should get the hint.

Also the free market should cause base wages to adjust accordingly, so you're really not going to pay the workers more than you would have anyway... it just places some of their inevitable compensation hostage to good service. I like that.

Workers who aren't naturally good at customer service will either learn to be, or get a job where I the customer don't have to deal with them.

The best way to encourage a service worker to do a good job is to let them keep their job
