Tipping Culture

Poll - Total Votes: 39

I only tip for a server providing me with personal service like a server at a restaurant, massage

I always tip if it asks me on the iPad if I’d like to

I don’t frequent places that unabashedly ask for a tip when not appropriate

I’m not an American and therefore, tipping is not a culture reality for me

How did tipping the blue haired cashier with a nose ring at Starbucks become an expectation? I am a big tipper for great service starting 20% and higher. But why am I supposed to tip every person who I come in contact with? These companies can’t pay their employees? What do you think?

Great poll on a topic that has always bugged me. I just dont see an option for me on it because I dont tip automatically based on culture for service that I am entitled to get for nothing as a patron.

I only tip for EXTRA services beyond the required bare minimum.

A server providing professional and polite service at a restaurant is doing the required bare min. - to me, that does not get an automatic tip. If there is something exceptional about the server or the service, I tip well.

With no tax on tips, there is even more incentive to not tip just for the sake of culture.
