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?

This brings up an issue for food service establishments that prompt the customers for tips up front and provide little or no service beyond handing you the food. We don’t even know where that tip goes, and even if it goes to the staff or not. I would suggest to those establishment that they make a public declaration to how that tip gets distributed.
