Tips

I keep getting an email with an article about tipping. It gives all these rules of when a tip is necessary and how much. I say BS! If the person who is doing me a service does a good job and has a good attitude, then I tip them. If they go out of their way to be kind and thoughtful,l then they see it in their tip. I also ask to speak to the manager if I get overly good treatment anywhere I go. I think that they should be acknowledged and appreciated. I call my service person by name and make it known if I think they have done a good job. I treat them like a fellow human being, not a servant. I don't put up with bad treatment either. And the manager gets an earful if I get bad treatment. I don't go back to places where the manager doesn't seem to care too. The same goes for customer service over the phone.
Who set down these rules anyway? Society? One more reason to stay home.

That is why I order everything online, I know exactly how much I am spending and I don't have to worry about tips, The only tip I am faced with is the tip for the person who delivers my groceries each month and i always customize that to $5.

I order online too, not for that reason but I don't deal with it. I am faced with the grocery tip too. I customize it to my liking, not there's.

I didn't know that. They must pay people decently there.

@celticeagle Mostly they do. There is a minimum wage which is supposed to be enough to live on.

Nobody else has the right to say how much or IF I tip for any services I receive... If my waiter/waitress does a good job, checks with me to see if I need anything else and is polite, then I'll tip 10 to 15%... If I don't get good service, then I don't tip and may report the person to the manager. It depends on my mood at the time. (Pretty always wants me to leave a tip, even if the person did a sucky job... When it's her money, she can judge how much to tip. When it's my money, I choose.)

As you said, it all depends on the quality of the service.
