[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 38101, member: 1161"] I tip people if they do a personal service. Hairdressers, manicurist massage etc, waitresses/waiters, doormen, delivery (ie pizza, restaurant delivery), delivery if I ask for more than just bringing it to the door (ie carry heavy furniture into the house), gas station if I ask them to check the fluids & clean windows, paper delivery, grocery store if I have them come out to the car and help load in the trunk. Typically around 15-20% for most things. I wouldn't even think to tip the garbage man or postal worker. Both are government workers who make LOTS of money from my taxes (bro-in-law drives a garbage truck so I know how much LOL). The postal worker changes all the time, and our garbage pickup is done by the truck machinery, he doesn't even get out if you leave things by the container, if it doesn't go in the container it doesn't get picked up. I also don't tip fast food or donut places that set out jars. They take an item off the shelf and hand it to me in a bag, not worthy of a tip. Maybe if I asked for something special like extra icing they had to put on I'd want to tip that person specifically, but I wouldn't put it in a jar. [/QUOTE]
