Anyone tip the garbagemen? I do and they still throw my cans all over the place. Guess it's not enough.

LOL Grooch. I use to work with a lady who's boyfriend was a garbageman. He said the best sign of appreciation was a case of cold soda (preferably beer) on a hot summer day.

I never thought of tipping the garbagemen, but maybe I should. They don't alway pick up.
We do tip the postman once a year at Christmas, though.

We tipped the garbagemen $20 when we moved. We had over 30 bags, loads of "stuff" and an old Futon. Here the garbagemen will take ANYTHING! We have no "dumpsite" so it's up to them to take it. So, unless it's something above and beyond, we don't tip them.

LOL, Fluff. Think that's one for the Hot Topic thread! <I'll pass though>

There is some heavy tipping going on in this thread. LOL I only tip at resteraunts. I leave tips based on service and not the amount of the bill. My son and I eat out alot and I usually leave 3 or 4 dollars. So I guess I actually do leave around 20% since our bill is about $20. When my husband takes us out, he leaves the tip so I have no idea what he leaves. He always leaves maid service a tip but I never have.

At my store, my employees have a tip cup. Many customers drop their loose change in it. They usually get enough on a shift to pay for their lunch and cokes they drink. Also, many of our customers will tip my employees if they cash in a big lottery ticket.

Well as another point of view from vegas - here goes.

Dog Groomer - I take my dog in 1ce a month - always to the same lady & it costs $15.00 bucks for a shampoo & nail trimming - I always tip her an extra $5.00

Valet - $2.00 to $5.00 bucks - when I pick up my car depending on how long I have to wait (& sometimes how much I won @ the casino)

Cabs - I usually round off the fare & tip a couple of bucks (most of them are rude here anyways for some reason)

Hair lady - $5.00 to $10.00 depending on what I had done (i.e. cut VS highlights)

Change People - when they "hand pay" me for a win - under $100 - $3.00. Over $100 normally $5.00

Cocktail Waitresses - $1.00 to $2.00 per "free" drink (LOL)Depending on their speed to return & their attitude / friendliness

Servers - @ a Buffet - $1.00 @ head @ the table (since all they do is drinks

Servers @ regular places - 20% unless service is bad. I truly don't believe in tipping if they stink &/or are rude.

Now - the last but not least - (this is the one my dad has a fit over) - when gaming @ my local pub where I go 90% of the time - I tip the on- duty bartender anytime I cash out - I usually give them 15% - 20% of the win (royals normally $150 - $200)

According to the same bartenders they are grateful for 10% but a majority don't even do that - I was there the other evening when a gentleman cashed out $1,500.00 & only tipped 10 bucks.

I am a very firm believer in setting my tips based on service so if I wait extra long or get attitude - the above flies out the window & they get minimal amounts (unless of course someone is new @ their job then I give them a break)

I tip my nail lady $5 for my fills every 2 weeks, and the gal who does my pedicure, also $5. (I should tip her more - she does have to mess with my feet!!!)

We tip the freight guys when they help unload their trucks of pallets.

Wargod, I always tip a lot more when I take the grandchildren out to eat. Just so much more to clean up!

This year I tipped my mail carrier $20 at Christmas, because of all the books I order.

I live in a condo complex and we have dumpsters (and don't I just love not having to deal with individual trash cans!!) Never have tipped them.

Never used a dog groomer.. I had labradors and did my own work on them, even when we had a pro handler, unless the dog went out of town with them.
