The Tipping Thread...
Ok...so it seems that outside of restaurants and haircuts I am tip stupid.
Like I don't know exactly WHO to tip. Do you tip dog groomers? I took my dog to get groomed last weekend, didn't know if you're supposed to tip them -if so how much? Massages - do you tip your masseuse? It seems like you're supposed to tip EVERYONE nowadays..I've lost track.

I have no idea about dog groomers, as I've never been to one. And I don't think you need to tip a masseuse, as they are usually self-employed. Oh wait, my husband just told me I am wrong. He used to work in an upscale salon that had masseuses and apparently you ARE supposed to tip them.

I know. I totally agree. I tip pretty good (for good service) but I don't tip everyone. I tip when I get an eyebrow wax (of course!!!
 ) and a haircut. But other than that (and food of course) I really don't  oh, valet. (because I use it so often  ) but when I do, they get tipped...*thinking*....hmmmmm.. on edit- bartenders. You tip them well, they will hook you up!!

Having worked in customer service for most of my life, I tend to tip everyone. And I tip REALLY well when I get good service. However, I probably need to chill out on it. I'm going to pay attention to the rest of this thread so I can see who I can cut out of my tipping list.

I pretty much tip everyone 20%. Waiters, cafe workers, guy who cuts my hair, woman who comes and takes care of my cats when I travel. I don't think it matters if they are self-employed. I tip good bartenders very well also; it pays off. Plus they work hard.

20% was the norm for me before I came to NZ. 25% if the waiter/waitress was exceptional (i.e. friendly/nice)

Well I'd never think of NOT tipping in a restaurant - but the dog groomer was what I was most curious about. The link Sugar posted said one should tip the dog groomer. Great....I'm an asshole

I have been a bartender and waitress my whole life, so believe me, I am the queen of tipping. But there has to be some people I don't have to tip?

My thinking is...why should we even tip, unless they are making $2.50 (approx) an hour...(waitresses ect. ) I mean...I'm sure a massage therapist is making some jack. So why tip them? No one tips me when I make them a fabulous temporary tooth. I've never tipped the person who scanned my groceries at the store.
 How many times have you tipped the wal-mart greeter or your gynocologist/proctologist?? just asking.
