I was always taught that you tip people that have provided you with personal service, but have not charged you a seperate labor fee.
For example:
We are supposed to tip a waiter, hair stylist, cab driver, hotel porter, and these type of people that provide a service without charging a seperate labor charge.
We are NOT supposed to tip the auto mechanic, the handyman, the appliance repair person, the shoe repairer.
I recently watched a movie with Anthony Hopkins and he is riding in a cab that drives him to the motel. The cab driver was rude throughout the ride.
When it came to paying for the fare, Anthony though the fare was a bit steep, but that is what was on the meter, so thats what he paid.
The cab driver became angry and demanded that he pay at least 10% percent more as a tip. A tip is expected the cab driver says.
Why is it wrong to not leave a tip at all if you have bad service?
I realize that some people never tip and I think that is wrong.
