Incidentally, one of my customers recently implemented a new policy for what travel expenses they would and would not reimburse. They will no longer reimburse tips to hotel staff. So now when I travel for work, the cost for tipping housekeeping is all out of pocket for me. Either that, or I'm a jerk who doesn't tip housekeeping.

But some areas are complicated. Uber drivers make just over a buck a mile, but after expenses they make only around $9 an hour. And some claim their real pay is lower even. Uber driver are essentially borrowing money against the depreciation of their vehicle. And that's entirely without benefits. I drove cab for a while, and a decade ago I worked out that most of the drivers (contractors) made 9 to 10 dollars an hour with zero benefits.

And what about my barber? Is he a contractor? Probably. So he's working on commission with no benefits. I go in with my 2 kids and we get three haircuts. I pay 60 bucks for less than an hour of labor, but how much goes to the barber? What's the hourly rate adjusted for the lack of leave time, insurance, and other benefits? I don't know.

See, but then what about when the owner cuts my hair? I feel weird tipping the guy who sets the prices and compensation rates. HE decided what a fair rate for his work was and then expects me to throw in extra on top? That feels weird. That's why I dont have him cut my hair.

And my tattoo artist? These people are booked MONTHS in advance. They charge 100 bucks an hour. AND tipping is customary. None of them seem to be living as well as my mechanic, so what the hell is all the overhead for a tattoo shop?

I would love living in a world where everyone gets compensated fairly for their work and tipping is a rare expression of gratitude for exceptional work. But we dont live there.

Do I tip at the deli counter in the grocery store? If the Starbucks is in a grocery store, do I still tip? The post office when picking up a bulk package? What about the grocery shopping services cropping up in some stores? You know, you build the grocery list online, and they get it altogether for you, and just send you a message when its done. Because many retail grocery chains won't allow (and will outright fire) employees for taking tips. Is it just any place with a counter? I'm pretty sure you have me all completely rethinking life and the entire universe now. You're all the worst.

On the other hand, I do tip my bartender on the once or twice a year occasions that I'm ordering drinks from a bartender. If I make multiple trips to the bar, I tip about every second or third trip.

I have a friend who’s an Uber driver, and he showed me a shot of his fares. Only one out of three people tip their Uber driver.

I might tip one or two bucks on carry out, recognizing there is some personal effort made for my order, but not much. I almost always tip everyone else 20-25 percent. Even if service is bad because I’ve worked in service before and I recognize how tough it can be.

I have been to various places that pass on service charges for credit cards, like you pay a surcharge for AMEX or Discover because it costs the vendor more to offer that service, but more often they just don't accept those cards because the fees are higher. A few places here are still sticking to cash-only, which is interesting as it seems to be succeeding.

So if you're quoted on one price over the phone when you order the take out, and are given another price when you go to pick up the food - how much do you tip?
