Tipping someone for the service they are providing is meant to be a token of appreciation for a job well done. However, every time you turn around, there are tip jars making it very confusing as to when you should tip and how much. Listen to today’s show for our insights and experiences as someone handing out the tips as well as the perspective of one who has worked to increase their tips in the service industry.
Today’s show was inspired by our fellow Atlanta-based podcasters at HowStuffWorks. We loved the data they found surrounding the history of tipping and the psychology behind why people tip and how much they tip.
The history of tipping: One theory holds that in the 17th century, the word was used as a verb to mean “hand it over” or “to give.” Another theory is that tip is thought to be an acronym for “to insure promptness,” with its origins in 16th-century English coffeehouses.
How much to tip: Proper tipping amounts seem to be changing constantly. Below are some guidelines for when and how much you should tip.
-Owners of an establishment
-Food deliveries under $30
-Airline flight attendants
-Bussers in restaurants
-Hotel desk clerks
-Bus drivers
-Theater ushers
-Museum guides
-Salespeople
-Employees at fast food restaurants
