What do y’all tip your people?

[oldtimer1]

Restaurants 20%
Casino Hotel rooms I give the maid $5 a day.
Convenience stores with a tip jar= Nothing.
Home food delivery like a pizza $ 4 to 5 bucks.
Valet parking is something I never use.
Mail man we give $10 at Christmas. They must really clean up on that day.
Garbage men- Our town uses one of those mechanized trash can lifts.
Barber gets $8 buck tip a hair cut. I get my hair cut every two to three weeks.
Moving men - I had three move me from one house to another. I tipped them $50 bucks each. I was the forth guy and we were all shot.
Milk man $10 Yes, I have a milk man.

I'm a bit surprised, well maybe I'm not, that there is just a like of good old fashion goodwill towards other people that put in an extra effort to be polite, courteous, and provide good service.

I remember this time last year I was standing in line to get one of those ice creams at Dairy Queen where they hold it upside down before they give it to you. The place was packed and their was only this one Black kid, about 16 years old, taking orders. People can be such pigs. Disgusting inconsiderate, self-entitled, pigs! These fatsos (and they were all FAT!) were riding this kid like a third world donkey. Bitching about the wait, want more napkins, how come this fatso got his ice cream before this other fatso that said he ordered before him.... it just went on and on. Disgusting fatsos waiting impatiently (most eating something while waiting) to get more fatso treats to stuff their fatso face utterly clueless about how busy it was and it was all on this 16 year old kid.

But that kid, that teenager (a group I have inherent disgust for), just kept that smile on his face. Just polite as hell. It was unbelievable! What great parents he must have. Most likely Military because that's overwhelming where the tiny minority of Blacks here come from.

When I got my order, and he also turned it upside down with a big smile, I told him how impressed I was. I gave him a twenty and he gave me my change and said, "It's OK. It's easy to be nice when people are nice. It's when you're tested that you see what kind of person you really are."

I was floored! I wanted to talk to him more. Find out everything about him. How do you become like that? When I got my change I then stuffed a $10 in his pocket which he predictably protested. Just letting him know that he makes a difference. For that one passing moment, he made my life just a little bit more pleasant. As much as I like to punish bad behavior I like to reward good behavior. Promote a feeling of goodwill and it matters how you treat people

Agree, these are the ones deserving of a tip. Had a similar experience at Subway.

I cannot stand people at fast food restaurants (or in general) melting down over food when clearly the employee has nothing to do with it and is doing his best. Not his issue if the boss didn't put enough people on staff at that time. I've had to say things several times to people messing with/being jerks to employees because they thought they were waiting too long, etc.

Nice story. Also, nice of you to tip the kid.

Can't believe you still get milk delivered. That's really cool. It seems home delivery/customer service is coming back.

Had a milk man for over 25 years. People are shocked about that. This sounds like bull shit but I have never seen the guy. He delivers once a week about 3AM to 4AM.  Every Christmas he puts a calendar in the milk box and I give him a Christmas card with a little cash in it. The only one that has ever seen him was my oldest boy who is 27 now. Over 22 years ago when he was about 5 years old he heard me say to the wife I have never seen the guy. My five year old said one night I heard the truck and ran down stairs. He said he pulled the shade away to see him and he waved at him.   

Despite having worked the craziest hours on earth including weekends and holidays I have never seen the guy. I should get a home security system to see if he looks like my kids.

tipping for bars and restaurants -  usually around 20%

I go the same lunch place every day - amazing food, service and they do an personal food dish for me (chicken and veggies) and i will tip the staff $20 tomorrow as an Xmas gift. the cook, the cashier and the gal who puts the food together.

I will post a pic of the grub - freaking amazing

[Princess L]

I’m not talking about wait staff, but folks who do service things for you like clean the house, cut your hair, massage etc.? With Christmas coming up I want to make sure I’m not insulting them. Thanks.

Generally around the price of a single weekly service (if it's frequent) is acceptable and appreciated ~ probably nothing under $20

Hairdresser - $20 - women more if they are getting full services like cut & color frequently
Garbage man - $20-$30  My guy picks up weekly and it's manual (not one of those big trucks with the hydraulic fork)
House cleaner - depends how often and what they do.  If it's something like monthly and you pay $120, then I'd tip $40 assuming you're also tipping throughout the year.
Massage therapist - $20
Gardener (mow & blow), assuming it's a weekly service, same guys (not a "crew" of random guys), if it's $100/month a $25 tip is good.
Kids teacher or babysitter - a "gift" from the child, gift card or small trinket.

  Tipping the Garbo man  , nobody would do that in Australia, those guys make good money !.

I purposely don't get my hair cut in december to avoid tipping my hair cutter extra.  I avoid all service people in december.

Or, ask your wife if she's ever seen him.

Where do you find a gardener who charges $100 a month. I pay three times that amount. They do everything though, not just mow and blow. They're usually here for about an hour.

Did you know USPS employees are not allowed to accept monetary tips over $20? Mine is getting a box of fine chocolates.

Being retired and on a fixed income, many home service people likely earn more than I get. -Never thought about tipping the garbage man. My son lives in Germany. Service people, including wait staff in restaurants are well paid. Tipping is very modest as compared to the U.S. American tourist who tip too much are not well thought of.

I spend "a lot" of time in germany and austria. If you tip them well (like americans minimum 5 € or 30%) you get special treatment. Everywhere! No one in there right minds will dislike a generous tipper!
Wtf are you talking about? Or you just trying to justify you are cheap or have no money?

I'm cheap and have no money....happy?  

As far as tipping in Germany goes. My son who has lived in Germany the better part of the last 26 years is who told me I was tipping too much. Apparently, he is right,

Germany: Tipping & Etiquette

Tipping and Service in Restaurants, Bars, Clubs, etc.
Service and VAT are included in the menu price in restaurants, bars, etc. all over Germany.  Still, it is typical to "round up" the amount to some more-or-less round figure. A rule of thumb is to add 5-10%, generally ending with a full Euro amount.

Caveat: it is not typical to be given a check, then leave your money on the table.  You have to tell the amount including tip you want to pay before you pay (via cash or credit card)

How You Pay: Typically, the waiter/waitress always comes to you and tells you your total. You then tell him/her how much you will pay, i.e. the amount you owe plus any "rounding up" -- for example, the waiter/waitress might say "€7.60;"  you hand him/her a €10 note and say "9 Euros."  S/he then will give you €1 in change.

Tipping in Germany and tipping in some other countries, such as the United States, are totally different. In Germany, waitresses are paid more and so the tips are smaller compared to the USA. Nevertheless, the 5-10% rule of  thumb still applies. If you want to tip less (according to some advice on the net) be prepared to appear stingy.

ml" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g187275-s606/Germany:Tipping.And.Etiquette.ht ml

tipping in restaurants in Austria
If you receive good service you can leave a gratuity of around 5%, or round-up the bill – the same applies for bars and cafés. ... Give the tip as you are paying the bill. For instance, if the bill is 18.50, you can simply give the waiter/waitress 20 and say danke (thank you).



If you are sincerely tipping 30% on a regular basis, of course you are getting special treatment and the folks you are tipping are laughing at you all the way to the bank.

Human nature is the same all over the world. They want to be paid as much as they can get for the job that they do and as someone who worked for tips, and know many that did and still do. Nobody is "laughing" at anybody who gives extra tips as if they are a sucker. They, we, appreciate it and, yes give them special service as they are treating us special. I just read an article about how Dana White, the UFC president, is a super great tipper and is revered for it.

What about you? Say you were a waiter at Denny's and the bill was $20 but the guy tipped you $50 because he felt generous and wanted to make your night. Would you laugh at him?

Does Denny's have restaurants in Germany? Who knew? My post was about tipping in Germany, not Hawaii or elsewhere in the U.S. Laughing all the way to the bank is a figure of speech. It should not be taken literally.

I'm an excellent tipper. Never less than 20% and always rounded up to the nearest dollar. I tip bartenders for each drink which comes out to way more than 20% on a tab. However, 'when in Rome I do as the Romans do'....another proverb.

Hold up. So your wife's boyfriend brings a gallon of milk over weekly and you give him a xmas card every year? 

I don't believe this story. What company is this? A gallon of milk is 2-3 bucks, haha. Oldest boy is 27 and milk man been coming over for same amount of time.
