[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 38063, member: 2211"] It irks me when Dunkin Donuts or other local coffeehouses leave out a tip jar. I mean, hello, I'm driving through and we;ve basically had a virtual transaction and I am expected to tip for that? They even go to toss the change into the tip jar until they see my outstretched hand. We're from NY where everyone tips everyone - it's just the way we grew up. Up here in CT, people are appalled that we tip our furniture delivery guy or the landscaper, etc. My H is in charge of that and he always tips. I tip our groomer, usually only 10% because she IS the owner. I tip my hair dresser because I love her - I've known her for almost 15 years and she's a gem. She doesn't have her own shop anymore, but when she did, I tipped her then as well. I tip waitstaff well also - usually 20% if they've done their job well. However, if they haven't done their job well, they only get about 10%. We had the same mailman for about 8 years and I always gave him a $10 at Christmas every year. But then he took a leave of absense and his presence was sporatic, so we stopped. My H tips the paper guy quarterly and then throws him a $20 at holiday time. We do not tip the trash collectors because it's virtually impossible to do so. [/QUOTE]
