Haven't read all the posts, but just the last few because I really can't believe this is the hottest topic on the site. I mean, who really cares, other than he who is receiving the tip, about the subject of tipping. You contract to pay for a service where you are a client, not a guest. You're quoted a price. You're obligated to pay the price, nothing more. Tip, don't tip, tip a little, tip a lot, do what you want, it's your money. Personally, if you sucked so bad that I don't tip you, you won't get another opportunity to recieve a tip from me. If you were awesome and added to the enjoyment of my day, I'll tip you and provide you with future business. In other words, I'll provide you with additional, voluntary, income, over and above that which I'm obligated to pay. If you don't like the amount I tipped, don't return my call next time... and best of luck to you.
You don't have to analize and amortize a guys business using Peachtree accounting software to justify he needs to be tipped. If your at a job and need more money, get a second job, work longer hours, change jobs, further your educaton, open your own business. That's what the rest of us do. Last thing I would do is rely on tips to make my world go round. If you feel compelled to tip, then tip. Service sucked, don't tip a penny. Why would anyone tip anyting for poor performance. What's the message you're trying to send with that?
To answer the original question, steller outings/performances typcially receive 20% from me. And anyone who bitches about recieving a 20% tip should have one's head examined!
