Thanks for posting this!

We hadn't ordered a pizza in years so I wasn't sure how much to tip the other night. Size large pizza, $25, tipped $5.

The place came highly recommended, the pizza was not good. The sausage was so small, it didn't even count.

I learned my lesson, Costco makes a much better pizza for only $8.99.

Good to know we are doing just fine with the amount we tip.

I'm a generous tipper.

This usually starts a interesting discussion. ....and forgot to ask, do you tip when you order food at a counter to eat in, no service, sometimes they might bring your food, but nothing else?

Interesting--but you're supposed to tip taxi driver if he leaves you in a place where he may not find another customer? That's a stretch, as far as I'm concerned.

I know that Jersey Mike's has a "tip jar" at the cashier/pick up counter. I usually drop in some change since they will clean off our table...

Thanks, more places seem to have them, like Moes, Starbucks, etc.

Even if service su*cks don't go below 15%? Seriously? Sorry, don't buy in to that one.

As it is, I am well in line with tipping for the few areas on that graphic that apply to me, but it sure seems as though everyone expects tips. Tipping restaurant staff is based on the fact that they aren't paid even close to minimum wage. Now we're supposed to tip everyone regardless of what their wages are? Guess I will continue to not utilize those services.

Does the percentage of income from tips matter if the hairdresser is an employee, owner or rents a booth. I tip 20% to an owner and an employee. I go a lot and can't afford more. Also I'm a loyal customer, which both appreciate. One's a colorist, one's a stylist.

I use to always tip my dogs groomers also. Now they can't accept tips. New company policy. I feel bad not being able to tip them. They spend a lot of time on the dogs. I hope they were compensated somehow by maybe a increase in salary.

I'm sure people will think us cheap here in Ohio, but I get tired of the tipping game. I do tip at least 20% for good service in a restaurant. But if the service is poor, you get no tip and a complaint with management from me.

Most of the chart doesn't apply to me either. We don't get pizza delivered out here, never go to a bar or a coffee shop, taxi service is my main job as a mom (and I get no tips!), never stayed in a hotel nice enough to have anyone carry my bags, and valet parking is for big cities. I guess I'm lucky, just the hairdresser and the waitress at a restaurant.

There have been threads on here about tipping just about everybody you come into contact with, even the UPS guy. My husband works for UPS (not a driver) and they make VERY good money considering they don't have to have any type of education for drivers jobs. Believe me they don't need the tips. I think remembering anyone who does good work for you with a yearly gift or tip for service done well is a kind and wonderful thing if you can afford it and want to do it. What gets me is how expected it is in so many different areas today. I remember when most people were just glad to have a job and willing to do it well.
