Do you get your hair cut or order pizza? Take a taxi or visit a bar? Service or entertainment type jobs where you interact with the person for most, if not all

Do you get your hair cut or order pizza? Take a taxi or visit a bar?
Service or entertainment type jobs where you interact with the person for most, if not all, of the time usually get tipped and you're tipping for good service/entertainment. Although some restaurants have this nasty practice of including the tip in the bill...
In the US, most pizza drivers pay for their own gas and the tip covers the gas. Tipping them is a courtesy for delivering your food to you out of their own pocket. They choose to deliver because more often than not the tips pay more than enough to cover gas expenses.
The "interaction" is why you might not tip your plumber but you will tip your hairdresser. You probably aren't making small talk with your plumber the entire time they are working even though they are providing you a service.
- aanm1988 10y ago> you're tipping for good service/entertainment Never in my life have I done that. Not once. I tip because otherwise I'm an awful person who took money away the poor hardworking waiter. It's amazing that the US has managed to become so brainwashed that the idea of mandatory tipping is completely ingrained meanwhile having people in a union (so they can fight to just actually get paid a decent wage) is abhorrent.
- tdb7893 10y agoI don't actually do most of those things. My girlfriend cuts my hair, I make my own pizza, I don't generally go to bars, and I bike most places. I've never thought about it before but I guess I'm just frugal and prefer to do things myself
