I understand the ‘why it’s done’ part about wages/service; it’s the nuance of tipping (when, where, how much) and the invisible social pressure that’s the issue to me.
For example:
- Person unloads TV I ordered off a truck and puts it at my door for me. Do I tip cash for that? Isn’t that just their normal job routine?
- If I go to a restaurant and order $20 of food and $200 of wine bottles, am I supposed to tip 15-20% of $220?
- If I buy a bottle of juice from a coffee shop, does that still warrant a tip?
- Does one still tip restaurants for carry-out?
- What % do people tip for deliveries or rides?
- If someone is dressed nicely, are they expected to tip >20%?
There may be more things I’m missing. Moving from EU to US when I was younger, these are just different adjustments I noticed in tipping for stuff.
