Yes to food servers where one sits down to order and eat, and bar tenders.....it's ridiculous to punish people in an industry that still functions on tipping...that is punishing the SERVERS because one does not think tipping should happen...it's not that server's fault, and they depend on tips. That's how the model currently works.
I tip the delivery guys when I get an appliance delivered from Lowes. That only happens once in a decade for each type of appliance ( usually...I got a new washer, refrigerator, and a patio door that weighed a TON and they brought it around the house to the opening in the last several years....).
I don't own a pickup truck and I live alone. I figure it's a tiny cost to have the stuff delivered and put where I want it, and since the last time I got those appliances was over a decade ago, it's a small price to pay. I figure those tips for the two men into the cost of the item....
I tip the guy who weedwhacks my property....and the one who picks up and drops off my rider for service. Same thing...$70,000 for a pickup truck to do it myself? Or 20 bucks once a year. They remember too ( live in a small town..the delivery folks are usually the same guys every time....)
I do NOT tip for when I pick up food. Or if I do the work.
