This is how I tip.

Waiter 20%

Hairdresser 30%

Taxi driver 10%

Hotel doorman $5

Car wash kids $5

Gaming dealer. If I win over $ 100 on a hand, $5

Did I miss any other profession?.

How about you?.

For those that do not tip. Read below.

I think the best way to show appreciation to an SP is to repeat. I was never a tipper but a hell of a repeater (2 times in one day more then once) I never felt bad at all for not tipping and the women always seemed to enjoy the repeat business
 
15% on food/drink.

10% on taxi

20% stylist




Speaking of which....

I was at a the community event recently where I saw my old stylist working a waffle food stand. This is the guy I paid $120 for a haircut. Flipping waffles. wtf.
 
Never felt obligated to tip a server for poor service or attitude. I agree with Shakeandbake. Repeat business or referrals is OK in lieu of tipping SP. I have tipped a regular just because she goes way above and beyond.
 
15% when I have had wine at dinner, 20% when I haven't (breakfast and lunch), $5 to hotel valet at drop off and $5 at pick up to park my car ( I rarely need help with bags as I only usually have an overnighter on wheels and a briefcase), $20 to the maid on first night of a 2 day hotel stay. Between 0 and $30 to an MPA based on service/mileage levels. Zero to an INDY sp - one assumes she keeps 100% of the base fee.
 
Assuming decent service...

Restaurant 20% minimum, more if the service was great

Bar $1/drink

Food delivery 20%. maybe more if the weather is really bad.

WaxGirl 30%

Hair $20 if service is under $100. if it's over (it usually is, but damn my hair looks GREAT!), 30%

Valet $5 on drop-off and on pick-up

Hotel housekeeper $3-5/night depending on the hotel and how messy I am. I tip daily in hotels because I don't know if the same person will be cleaning the room for my entire stay.

Porter - it's been years since I've needed one, I travel light.

Large-item Delivery People - depends on what it is. Washer/dryer guys I think I gave $25 each, sleeper-sofa guys got $40.

Taxi 20%
 
SP and MPA - $20 if service was good. Repeat or review is not a tip, IMO. I review bad encounters as well.

Waiter 15% to 20% depending on service. Adjusted %age based on drinks / wine ordered


Hairdresser 10% to 20%

Taxi driver $2 to $5

Hotel doorman $5

Car wash kids $15 to $20
 
Sp's and mpa, 's rarely tip. They are well compensated and repeat is the payoff.

Waiters and waitress 15 but more if she's hot.

Mailman 20 bucks for Christmas.

Barber 2 bucks.

I tip tow truck drivers.
I have CAA and have had friend and family cars towed.
The driver will say it's suppose to be only for you!
A quick $20 changes their minds fast.

LOL, so true.
 
Cash is King. Remember that and you will get extra service.
