eff the card dealer, especially when you are leaving. if you are winning big and you plan on sitting there, kick in a few. goes towards "keep the good cards coming" karma. as far as hotel staff, i always ask the concierge or hotel clerk. they typically are pretty honest about stuff like that. at the food joints, i go 15%, which i calc from after tax amounts. i mentally calc 10%, divide that number by two, and add the two answers together. at a cheap restuarant, where you can get a rice plate for $3.50, i typically leave a dollar. leaving two quarters doesnt make sense to me. i have waited tables.

strippers, get a different tipping scale. and so do fishing guides. haha
