Tipping – Should You And How Much

Do you ever wonder should you tip this person?  Personally, the answer for me is sometimes “yes” and sometimes “no”. For me it depends on the service I receive – was it Thank You!good or exceptional, did someone go out of there way and do something extra?

When I am in a restaurant, yes I tip the server.  When I use a car park service, yes I tip the attendant.  Also, I tip for personal services – hair cuts, nails, porter at airport and more.  The list goes on and on.  There are so many to tip in our lives, and even more so now that the holidays are approaching.  But who and what do you tip and how much?

And the next question for me is – how much?  Cash is always a great option for giving, but may not be the answer for your budget.  Other ideas, might be a thank you note, a call to a company to tell them what I great experience you received from someone that works there, a bouquet of flowers, baked goods, etc.

As the holidays approach,  here are suggestions from Real Simple Magazine with who and what.
