[quote=Anonymous]I never understood tipping until my daughter became a waitress during college.  To everyone who tends to think, "why should I tip someone for doing their job," please remember that it's the boss/owner who's making the money, not the massage therapist, waitress or bell hop.  You must understand, this is simply how the pay scale works for many service industry jobs - tips are a part of it.  It's not a bad deal for all involved if you think about it, because the person employed to provide the service always has a chance to make a bit more by doing a really terrific job, so it's a win-win situation for client and server.  Think about your own child, sister, father or friend working as a waiter for $5/hour plus tips, and think about all those people who say, "Why should I tip you just to do your job?"  Of course, if the service is poor at the fault of the server (and believe me it is often out of their control), I reduce my tip, but generally - be it in a restaurant, spa, bar, hair salon, or wherever - I tip 20 to 30% based on the quality of the service.  Further, if I've taken more than 15 minutes of any employee's time to do whatever for me, the minimum is $5, regardless if the bill is zero or just a couple of bucks! [/quote]
