Why should I tip in a restaurant where everything is set up cafeteria style?
Q. Also why should I tip when I just paid an inflated price for a cup of coffee and the workers wages are not lowered to reflect the inclusion of tips? This seems to be a trend in cafeteria style restaurants, where you carry your own food and get your own drinks, and trendy coffee shops. When you shuffle past the people making the food to pay there is a tip jar. What have they done to deserve a tip? Would it be acceptable for the attendant a a self serve gas station to put out a tip jar? I understand that it is a fairly unrewarding job because I have done it and would have never thought to ask for an automatic tip simply for handing over a tray of food. Am I wrong in thinking that this is just another example assumed entitlement in our… [cont.]

A. No you are quite right. I just ignore tip jars expecially after paying four buck for a latte! The only time I tip is after a sit down dinner - my pet peeve is when I interact something and it comes up - tip required - especially if the server is watching!

What to tip a valet driver at a high end restaurant?
Q. What would be the apprioate tip at a restaurant that has complimentary valet parking. These guys work only on tips. The entrees at the restaurant are between 20-30$. Also if you dont valet then you have to pay 5$ to use the parking lot/garage. $1?, $5?, $10$?

How much do you tip for an expensive tattoo?
Q. I have recently saved up and scheduled a tatto that should be 3 or 4 all day sittings at $130 an hour. I have been told tips should be 20% of the full price but, does this mean I should tip my artist nearly $1,000 for one weeks work?
Asked by Donovan - Wed Dec 12 02:34:38 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Let's see, 8 Hours of labour for four days at $130/hr is $4160. 20% of 8 Hours labour for four days at 130$/hr is $832. The numbers do seem a little outrageous. Generally service related tips are based on a percentage of goods exchanged and quality of service, not hours worked. For example; You tip a waitress about 20% of your total dining cheque - depending on how well she attended to you - despite the length of time it took you to finish your meal. Tipping your tattoo artist $832 would be similar to paying a restaurant the staffing wages plus your dining cheque and a 20% gratuity atop all of it. So no, I do not think that you should necessarily tip your tattoo artist according to this scale. On the other hand your tattoo is a… [cont.]
