Do you tip anyone for the holiday season? Is there any special reason you tip them?
I tip my mail carrier and hair stylist. I like the service they provide to me and they both have nice personalities. Of course, it is possible to take the tipping thing to far with some professions.

Gifts are as appreciated as money. I like my stylist so much I tip each time I get a haircut plus a bonus at Christmas.

When we had one of our NJ snow storms the carrier delivered our mail to our door because the plows piled so much snow by my mailbox I could not shovel it out right away. I really appreciated that and he will get out of his vehicle if some stupid visitor parks in front of my house and blocks off the mailbox. So, it's just something I do...

I used to tip the postman, waste services staff , cafe staff etc but since the recession and increasing grocery price costs in the UK, I had to stop! Most of my wages are eaten up by mortgage costs, car costs, travel costs and credit card bills!

@dgobucks226 At least those are things that they can enjoy during the holidays.

Very nice! Sometimes a gift card in lieu of cash works just as well.

If the person exerted so much effort and went an extra mile to deliver superb, excellent service, I'll give a tip.

@dgobucks226 It was a terrible act, my friend. That's the main reasons why I don't give waiter's tips.

Wow, that's not right Shavkat! Maybe the owners should help wait the tables then

@dgobucks226 Our basic wage is higher than that of the US so our workers don't depend on tips to prop up their income.

Americans love to be tipped even when they don't deserve one. I think Australia might have the right idea, lol.

I always tip taxi drivers and hair stylists. I always tip servers 20%, and bartenders a buck a drink.

As do I, waiters and waitresses rely on their tips!
