Thank you for doing that for me. You're alright.
I thought of a couple more things. If it's Denny's for appetizers and long coffee late at night then make sure to tell your server you to not pay as much attention to you. Say it several times so they understand it's alright to back off the service a bit.
Also, when I go out with my children I almost always tip higher because their meals are cheap and they make big messes. I also want to stress this shouldn't be an expected standard for families. There's no reason a father should feel pressured to pay a college server more per hour than he makes. Young servers can easily make plenty for what they are doing.

For a sit down restaurant, 15-20% Honestly depends on how poor I am at the time, but never less than 15% unless it absolutely calls for it, which has happened on time in my life.
For pizza, usually they can keep the change from a $20 if it's over $15, but standard is $3-$5.
And a couple bucks for the barber.

Then you don't go out. New rule for Newt.
That's different. If they suck .. **** m.
I just don't believe in going out knowing I can't tip.

PKM ur a baller bro i bet you tip with bentleys and lambos right bro
Oh I know. Perhaps that wasn't phrased well. I mean that I only tip less than 15% if the service not just sucks, but mindblowingly sucks. I'll always be prepared to tip at least 15%, though it seems like that's even cheap now. I'm wondering at what point when the percentage went up 20%. Regardless I do tip after taxes are added, so the effective rate for just the sub total is higher.

Like Wes/Gyp, I go at least 20% and I tip everyone. The pizza delivery guy $5, the Directv installer $20, the appliance delivery guy $20. Most of our spending money last summer at an all inclusive resort was spent on tips and it really made a difference. The drink girl came to our area on the beach more often than the people around us because she knew she was getting paid and we weren't getting thirsty.
What if you get takeout at a pizza place and have to pick it up. Do you tip? This is the one I struggle with. If we have a lot of food ordered, I leave a tip. If I'm getting a pepperoni for the kids, no tip.

That's a good question, I'm not sure on that one. I would probably not tip to be honest and I'm serious about my tipping because I waited tables at one time in my life. The one I struggle with is when I receive those pesky receipts that have a default tip line at the bottom for services that are borderline for tipping, like should I tip my morning coffee guy? It gets pretty pricey over time and all he does is hands me a coffee cup and I pour the coffee from the jugs that are provided - but that damn tip line is at the bottom of every receipt I have to sign. Curses and drat! Maybe I am subconsciously stingy because I am still a broke *** college student... but not for long! MUAHAHAHAHA

Why do you tip for example servers but not other professions a la if a company is renovating your home for price like 20000 USD, then you don't give tip to the person(s) whod do the actual renovation for about 4000 USD?
Am i correct that nobody is paying tax about tip they recieve?
When company is having a party, then they are not giving tip, because nobody isn't giving a written check for that, right?

I don't tip.
I don't tip just because society says I have to. If someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

If someone brings me my food, other than handing it over a counter or through a window, I tip. If it's nothing more than putting it on a tray or handing it through the drive-thru window, no. I tip the pizza delivery guy. Never thought about tipping an appliance delivery guy. I would never tip a Direct TV installer though. I never get a tip for doing service work in a house, why should I tip somebody else for doing it for me?
Waitressing is the number one occupation for female non-college graduates in this country. It's the one job basically any woman can get, and make a living on. The reason is because of tips.
