Waiters 15-20% ....cute, flirty waitresses..closer to 25%
-pizzes my wife off no end, but I have no problem NOT tipping if service was particularly crappy (despite what Live said,
) - but I'll also talk to manager...on the other hand, I frequently ask for the manager to complement exceptional service, as well
Bellman, porter or other 'bag guy' (bus driver, airport, etc.) 1$ a bag
Valet ....Nobody touches my car 🙂 Actually I'm way too cheap to ever valet...I'll park five blocks away before I pay someone to park my car
Maids - Often nothing, because that's the level of service I see lately; but for good service, usually $5-15 per stay
Butler ---wtf is a butler? Like Lurch?
Cocktail waitress/bartender.... .50-1$ a drink
Grocery baggers .25-.50 per bag...extra buck or two if they take out to the car
Towel dudes at car wash - generally a $5 in the box or to the guy who's 'turn it is' - they seem to have a system of rotating or taking turns as to who gets to hold the driver door open
Customs agent - $50 usually does it
'Tip jars' at coffee shops, donut shops, sandwich shops.....really just pizz me off
