That is how I read the above post. Perhaps I misunderstood. My impression of tipping was a thank you for the service the individual has provided for you.

Sometimes I consider their situation. I had an incident where an older handyman came to fix my fridge drawer for me. He couldn’t but I tipped him for coming out, his gas and trying although he, himself, charged nothing. Then I fixed the drawer myself. I believe he was working for himself so no wages from a different source.

I have a question: do the “suggested” tips on machines etc include the tax when a percentage is taken? Am I tipping the IRS as well?
