Tipping people.?

Question

I want to know if it's necessary to tip the following categories of people, and if so, how much?

1. Grocery store clerks
2. Hairdressers
3. Cab drivers
4. Pizza delivery people

Thanks!

Answer 1

1. No
2. 10%
3. 10% or $5, whichever is less
4. $2 max

Answer 2

I generally will tip barbers ($3-$5) , cab drivers (15%) and pizza deliveries ($2-$3).

The only time I tip a grocery store bagger is when it's a student rasing money for a class trip.

Answer 3

not grocery store clerks (unless they carry out your groceries to the car for you, then $1-$2)

for Hairdressers, I give at least $5 for a woman's haircut...anything less is an insult. I give a lot more if i absolutely LOVE the haircut

and cab drivers and pizza delivery drivers $2-$3

Answer 4

Grocery Stores- If they take the kart out to your car for you, a couple of bucks would suffice. More if its raining.
Hairdressers- You are already paying about 12 bucks for the cut, so about 4 extra is more than enough.
Cab Drivers- Depends on the fare, and the weather. About 3-5 for a short run. 10-15 for a longer one.
Pizza- All depends on quickness and weather. 4 bucks is a good tip if total is around 20 bucks. More if its raining.

Answer 5

1. No
2. Yes, men should tip around $5 and women should tip around $10
3. Yes, assuming they got you there in good time and made nice conversation tip around $5 for every 30 minutes in the cab (with a $5 minimum)
4. If the weather is decent, tip $2 + your change. i.e. if your total is $12.30, give the delivery person $15.

All of this assumes decent service.

Answer 6

I haven't lived in a place where grocery clerks are tipped, unless they take groceries to your car. The other three occupations call for a minimum of 15% tip. I quit tipping for crummy service some time ago.

Answer 7

Please tip Hairdressers, Cab Drivers and Pizza Delivery people. Generally it should be 15% of purchase, but can be more or less depending on the quality of service that you received. I've never tipped a Grocery store clerk, but we don't do that where I live.

Answer 8

1. most large chain grocers discourage tipping. i usually try 2 tip my bagger a couple of bucks if he puts my groceries in my car 4 me. a lot will refuse, but during the holidays...if i insist some will take it.
2. 10 - 20% of the bill if they do an extraordinary job.
3. maybe 5 - 10% if they didnt give me motion sickness.
4. this is a tuff one. most places are charging an xtra delivery fee since gas prices went up. but i treat them like halfway decent waitresses @ 10%

Answer 9

1 = no (they get paid a good enough wage, and the system is NOT set up for tips)

2,3,4 = yes - about 10-15%, depending on service - bad service can get a zero tip. At Christmas, maybe do something outrageous once like a 25-50% tip but only if you can afford it.

Answer 10

4. Pizza delivery people

Answer 11

1. if they carry your bags up to $1
2. $5 if you really like it
3. It depends on the fare already
4. maybe $1 or 2 if it was free delivery
