I think tipping for new and different things is a good idea! Wouldn't you want to reward a member here if you got good advice, a great picture, or a funny remark?

I marvel at how many pre-calculated suggested tip percentages are wrong.
Sometimes it is bad math but many of them expect you to tip on the tax as well.

I get so many free drinks already on domestic flight, I wouldn't mind tipping them, but then I'm polite and low-maint. when I fly. So they're not having to do much more than hand me the drink and sometimes tap my Amex.
LOL. Most drunk people have no idea how rude and high maintenance they are. The more someone drinks, the less clear thinking they are. That's why they don't think "hey maybe I shouldn't drive after a dozen shots".
(no reflection on anyone in particular).

That's gotta to be some BS. Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should. I suppose you can ask for anything. I wouldn't go back to places that ask for the additional service fee of 18%. I don't care how good the food it or the service with waitresses that only wear miniskirts. No way.

Tell the team they need to get a real job with an employer that will pay them a decent wage so that they don't have to beg!

I was working a bar once at a volunteer benefit - pouring drinks and such. We were big donors to the event and they needed someone to help at the bar. I was done pouring something and turned my back and there was $3 on the counter! First and only tip ever received in my life! (except for “buy low, sell high”).

I was flabbergasted and it was really funny too. I saved the $3 - it’s in my counter downstairs. My wife and I joke about it from time time.

Funny.

It’s literally a switch on Shopify, not a cultural shift.
