What is a tip for anyway? Who should you tip? ...your hairdresser, waitress, waiter, hostess ??, guy who washs your car, the guy who drys it, the guy sacking your groceries.... My problem is, it never ends!
I guess I'm a bad person, but I would never consider tipping a person in a donuts shop, no matter how long I used their time...that's what they're there for and the last time i looked, they were called employees and should be paid a fair salary by their employer...
do you tip the counter person at Panera's ? How about Starbucks ? SHould I tip my Sales Rep, when I'm there in May???
Sorry for the rant...I'm just really confused by some of the comments . . ..

Thanks to that post I have a question about tipping. When they replaced my carpet and vinyl I tipped both of the workers $5. When the guy does the annual A/C maintenance I tip him $5. When the guy washes the house, I tip him $5. Ditto the cart repair guy on the at home tuneups, etc. The cleaning ladies get $2 a visit.
The wife always tipped the hair dresser when she went to one. When I was a kid, I was always given an extra quarter to give to the barber. I have been cutting my own hair since 1970 so I have no idea what the tip would be now.
The yard guy and the paper deliverers get $20 at Christmas.
Is this out of the ordinary?
BTW: When I go down for a pizza or Chinese takeout, I usually put something in the tip jar.
