Tipping in the United States is widely practiced and is considered a social obligation under a variety of circumstances.[citation needed] Employees in occupations where tipping is common typically receive very low salaries and receive the bulk, if not all, of their compensation in tips. The US federal minimum wage for a tipped employee is $2.13. [15] However, federal labor law requires that if declared tips and hourly wages do not total the minimum wage for a non-tipped worker (per pay period), the employer must make up the difference.[16]
[edit] At a restaurant
Tipping is considered a social obligation in restaurants where there is table service. The customary tip for a restaurant meal in the United States is 15 percent of the bill.
Many restaurants automatically add a gratuity of 15% to 20% to the bill before tax for large parties, often defined as six or more people; if this is done the amount is clearly indicated on the check as a "gratuity" or "service charge." In this case no additional tip is required to be added to the total, but a small tip might still be given as a reward for exceptional service.
Tipping at buffet-style restaurants is not as common, since buffet workers are paid a slightly higher fixed wage and do not depend as much on tips. The amount of the tip should be proportional to the amount of time that the server needed to spend on properly helping the customer. Pay-at-the-register restaurants and café restaurants often have a tip jar at the counter; only spare change is expected and no tip is required if the order is small.[citation needed]
It is common for servers to "tip out" portions of their tip receipts to support staff like bartenders and bussers.[17]
[edit] At a bar
When at a bar, and receiving good or above service, it is customary to tip $1.00 per drink. Some drinks, such as Macallan 25, which can be more than $35.00 for a single neat shot, may deserve more. For a pitcher of beer, which usually contains around four beers, a tip of $2.00 is reasonable.[citation needed]
With the advent of credit cards, a more reasonable approach is to run a tab and tip on the total amount.[citation needed]
[edit] At a hotel
Room-service personnel at most American hotels expect tips, anywhere between 15% to 20% of the price of what was ordered. It is also customary to leave a small tip for the housekeeper upon checking out, anywhere between $2 and $5, depending on the quality and price of the hotel room. Length of stay is usually not a factor in tipping for housekeepers. If your room was not cleaned properly or not cleaned at all, not leaving a tip for the maid is understandable. Tipping the front desk staff is not unheard of but usually never done unless the service is exceptional.[citation needed]
[edit] Ordering pizza or other delivered meals
The pizza-delivery boy is customarily tipped just as if he were a waiter at a table-service restaurant. However, this issue is complicated by establishments sometimes charging a delivery fee, which is similar to a service charge.[citation needed]
[edit] Car wash
If a person hand dries the car, they are customarily tipped.[citation needed]
[edit] Getting a haircut
For a haircut or salon service, it is customary to tip the barber or stylist.[citation needed]
[edit] Tattoos and Body Piercing
It is also customary for a customer to tip a tattoo artist or body piercer, because the customer is receiving both an art and a service as well (as seen by signs in some establishments that are along the lines of, "Bitches don't tip, and tippers don't bitch.") Although tipping for these professions is customary, there doesn't seem to be a set percentage to tip the artist. [citation needed]
[edit] Holiday season
Many service staff are tipped annually during the winter holiday season (often called a "Christmas bonus"), such as newspaper carriers, house cleaners and pool cleaners. Some people also tip their local mail carrier in this manner, not knowing that it is illegal to do so (see government workers below).[citation needed]
In some large cities, the staff of apartment buildings, such as building superintendents, porters, concierges and doormen, receive similar annual tips.[citation needed]
[edit] Government workers
Under United States federal law it is considered bribery to tip government workers. However, they are permitted to receive gifts less than or equal to $20.00. It is a common practice to tip federal employees (such as one's mail carrier) $20.00 for the winter holiday; however it is not legal to do so. A non-monetary gift valued at $20 or less is appropriate. A potential tipper can donate money to a charity related to the government agency. For example, most National Parks have related "natural history associations," in which case the worker that prompted the tip may appreciate hearing that their service prompted a donation.[citation needed]
[edit] Other
Many retailers forbid their employees to accept tips. No tip is expected (and acceptance of one may be forbidden) for parcel-delivery workers (e.g., UPS, United States Postal Service). No tip is expected for retail clerks who bag one's groceries or carry one's purchases to the car. Grocery stores often have a jar for spare change by the cash register, which is not for tips but is used to help cash customers who are short on change (for example, a customer paying a $5.02 bill can use $0.02 from the change jar and thereby avoid paying $6.00 and getting $0.98 back in change).[citation needed]
