I tip my hair stylist, who's an independent contractor (mostly they rent chairs from salons rather than being direct employees). I tip babysitters.

- ProjectArcturis 3y agoThey are both people doing important jobs for me, in long term relationships. I want them to be happy and motivated. And over time, you get to be friends with them and want to take care of them. Honestly, if you're not tipping people like this in your life it is very suboptimal.
- dilyevsky 3y agoWhat about dentist office, you suggest to tip there too? Only in america… Normally when people are friends they do nice things for each other for free. I’m gonna go ahead and say that if your “friendship” is held up by tipping you’re not really friends
- defrost 3y agoI agree with all that you said save the tipping. I'm Australian, over 60 and have never tipped. I have voted for worker rights, supported guarenteed minimum wages, gone on strike, attended picket lines and helped out anybody I've encountered that needs some kind of assistance. Workers should be paid sufficiently to live well, not reduced to begging for scraps tossed as a result of hold out customs from the days of slavery and servitude. But I guess that's just a cultural thing.
