tipping

Is being asked to tip getting out of control in East Texas?

Is tipping really out of control?

The current discussion (fight) in the Longview social media space is about (not) tipping and the right way to tip (or why they shouldn't tip).

Is it time for grocery stores to allow employees to accept tips for great customer service?

Most of us don't live buildings with a doorman so we can skip that, but we should be tipping landlords, delivery drivers, and handymen this holiday season. How much? And how do we get the tip into the hands of the trash collector?

I took my daughters to a fast-casual food court the other day and each restaurant had an iPad cash register, which meant that I spent 12 to 20 percent more than I would have with other payment terminals. It's too hard to say no to the tip!

With the Holiday season upon us, we will be out and about more. On these outings there will be tip jars as far as the eye can see. Coffee shops, delivery drivers, and of course your waitress or waiter will be looking for those extra bucks to come into their pockets from yours. So, who do you tip and how much?

I have to say I'm not very good at math, and I have no interest in trying to figure out what a 20 percent tip is on a $46.56 cent bill. I always make my spouse do the arithmetic. And you?
