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?

I only tip at casual/fine dining restaurants, and hair salons, not at any fast food joint that already pays their workers $15.00 an hour, I only get $1,400 a month disability, that's way more than what I get, $600 a week is $31, 200 a year, I only get $16,800 a year. Does that seem fair that I should tip someone that makes way more than me after their taxes are taken out?
