Your guide to holiday tipping
A little holiday green can spread cheer for the rest of the year. Here are the keys to tipping the right people the right amounts.
I tip the lady that cuts my hair for the past 20 years 2X times a normal cut fee.
Last year I tipped the "US Postal Carrier" 20 bucks....
How about you?
If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

What is it with the American preponderance to tipping Its like adding a hidden cost [tax] to everything you buy sorry I dont understand the logic.Pay the workers a decent wage which in turn is paid for in the end users bill. [shrug].

I don't have anyone to tip so I never worry much about it.
I think the whole tip thing is whacked anyway.
I Think workers should be paid correctly and not have to rely on someone leaving a little something behind to make up their wages. That's crazy.
And boyyyy it ticks me off to go through drive thrus and see tip cups.
Ummm you just stood there and turned 30 degrees, grabbed a cup and pushed a button to fill it with coffee. How much more than a regular wage is that worth?
I do tip at restaurants because I know they do rely on it as part of their wage .. but they shouldn't have to. It's an antiquated system and needs to be changed.

My local auto parts store used to have a tip jar on their counter. (One of my pet peeves.) It was removed after I took a $5 bill from it and told the cashier, "It's about time you started tipping your customers, what with the prices you charge!"
Happy Ramahanakwanzmas, everybody.
