Tipping?
 

How much do you normally tip when dining out? How much do you tip to service people ...such as furniture delivery or workman that do something at your home.

Seems many Villagers get alligator arms when it comes to tipping. Perhaps its cheapness...perhaps its regional standards.

Have you heard the one about the difference between a villager and a canoe?

Canoes tip!

Perhaps it is just your assumption.

I will tip 20% if the service and food is good. I tip the lady who cuts my hair $3.00 for a $9.00 hair cut. For the past couple of years we have given the yard guy $100.00 at Christmas time. $20.00 to the paper person and mail person. I would not tip a plumber or electrician or other service folks.

Paper Person
 

Tipping the person who delivers your paper 365 days a year anything less than $2.00 a week is wrong. Tip at least $100!

We tip 25% in the restaurants to make up for the 10%ers

So i guess you think everyone here tips fairly for good service? Sorry but thats not what im seeing.

As the OP, why don’t you tell us your standards?

I don't watch other people's tipping habits.

If you need to know to simply reply to my OP...

20-30 percent for good service in restaurants.

Minimum $20 to delivery people for large items.

Minimum $100 to UPS,mail,sanitation etc for the holidays.

At least $20 to workman that do work in my house as long as they are not the owners.

As I said..tipping is a regional custom. ive noticed folks from flyover states tip less...sometimes to the point of embarrassment.

Never dined out with good time charlies or skinflints?

Tipping
 

We have been out once and never again with people who tip 10% to the penny. They are not from the coasts or Chicago.

Correct.

We used to tip 15%, but our son was a waiter for a time and they are paid very little (less than $3/hour). They have to make it up in tips. So now we generally tip 20%.
