Tipping Etiquette?
So here I am at work with a dollar bill in my purse and a dead car battery. I've called AAA and they are on their way. Should I be tipping this guy when he arrives? If so, how much? Keep in mind that it is pouring - POURING rain.
It got me thinking about tipping. I always wonder if I overtip some people and should have tipped others. I always leave a couple bucks in hotels for maids regardless if its a W or a Hampton Inn. The lady who washes my hair at my salon always spends about 10 minutes on a scalp massage so she gets $5.00. The woman who cuts my hair charged $45. even though she is worth much more so I tip her $20.00. Keeping in mind that its probably a 40/60 split with the salon. She recently raised her prices to $75.00 and now I'm wondering... Is she going to think me rude for NOT leaving $20.00 but rather $15.00?

That is an excellent point. I could see tipping more if the weather is bad or if the movers have to climb stairs. Do people clean out their liquor cabinets and give you left over beer? I've always wondered that because we seem to have beer in stock and it is not really an item I ever want to move.
What about tipping at coffee shops? Most baristas are working at a corporation: Starbucks is not a one pony show where the owners can't afford to pay more. It also also annoys me that the baristas aren't trained to make those beautiful Italian looking images in the foam. Really, they just press buttons so what is the difference between them and a fry cook, other than they smell better? I basically give them my change even for a drip coffee because I know they are underpaid. For a hand made latte, I would gladly tip $1-2.00.
