Wrong! If tips are only supposed to be given out of the kindness of the customer, then why does the government automatically tax tips based on a percentage of the servers' actual salary? I'm sorry, but even though the servers aren't supposed to imply a tip, a tip is expected, not only by the servers, but by the IRS too.

This is what CNNMoney has to say about tipping:
"Psychosocial theories aside, though, there's another we reason tip. It's part of the cost of being served. If you think tipping is truly optional at restaurants, hair salons and hotels, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Tipping is expected. It's part of your bill, except that you need to do the math."

One could go broke if they followed these guidelines.

Well, according to Money Magazine, if you have a regular babysitter, you should give him or her a night’s pay, plus a gift from your child as a bonus. If you have a nanny, you give one week to one month’s pay plus a gift. At a day care center, Money says to give each worker $25 to $70. Each schoolteacher gets a gift, and housekeepers get one week’s pay or more. The garbage collector should receive $15 to $20. A gardener gets $20 to $50. And, if you live in a high rise with a doorman, each one gets $20 to $100. Elevator operators get $15 to $40. Manicurists should receive the cost of one session; personal trainers - $25;. massage therapists - $50 to $100; mail carriers – a gift under $20 because it’s against the law to give them cash or anything more than $20. Finally, paper delivers should get $15 to $20. These tips are all news to Clark because he doesn’t have these people. The bottom line is that it’s up to you! |
