Who do you tip?

Jannabelle — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 21:39:00 GMT

So far I tip servers, and the one who cuts my hair........I am curious if anyone has ever tipped a cashier who rings up a large grocery order? Or the people at the drive thru?.......all the tipping talk made me think about who does and does not get tipped and how people decide , it doesn't matter to me, but I am curious.

I only tip servers, the person that cuts my hair, the girl that washes it and the pizza delivery person, that's it.

I tip at the hair salon and the nail salon. I do not tip at the grocery store or Starbucks. I tip at restaurants for pick up and eat in. I tip at airport and hotels. I've tipped furniture delivery people. I just tipped the lawn guys, but that was the first time. I've brought flowers or candy to school. I tip the guys that dry my car at the car wash.

I tip at the salon. I tip at restaurants and I tip if I order food and pick it up from car side service.

I tip at hotels and when we had some insulation work done at our house, we did give the workers a tip.

I read an article while back that said we feel connected to people that get within our personal space. Lots of holes in that theory, but it made me think.

Makes sense we would tip hairstylists, nail/massage/spa techs, people delivering food to your home/table, even taxis that come to your home....but why not medical professionals?

I do tip food delivery people too, and at the airport, I forgot, because I don't often have those situations.

Servers and hairdressers. I have never thought about tipping a grocery store cashier. I do my own nails and don't do delivery food.

Are grocery cashiers allowed to take tips? I know the people that bring your groceries to the car aren't because my mom always tried to tip them and they said they couldn't accept a tip

I don't know, I just mentioned them because it is hard work and doesn't pay that well.

I use a wheelchair at airports and that involves tipping big time. I also tip servers and my hair stylist. I never tip people who perform services at my home.

I have my groceries delivered and have tried to tip but it is not accepted. On a hot day I have offered a water bottle and they have gladly taken that. The only people I tip is my hairdresser and when out to eat.

Servers in restaurants @ the amount of at least 20%, and the hair stylist gets a tip. I used to tip pizza delivery when I lived elsewhere. (but we have no delivery here in the country). And that is the extent of tipping.

Wait people, hair stylist, manicurists, furniture delivery people. Smaller tips to people who work the takeout areas at places like Starbucks. When in a hotel...I always have cash available for doormen, taxi drivers, etc.

Who do you tip?

The workers at the ice rink I rent for my adult league to play our hockey games. Tipping them over the decades has always assured me of getting the best ice surface and the most pleasant experiences and it also always makes these kids feel much better and sure of themselves.

I must tip too much because I could not come up with a quick, concise list.
