When staying at a nice hotel, how much and when do you tip the valet?
545908
Having worked in a 5-Star hotel, here are my suggestions:\n\n1.  The valets at most hotels make close to minimum wage since they are considered tipped employees.  They rely on tips for the majority of their income, therefore they usually do their best to make a good impression and do their jobs well. Stealing is very rare and if that should happen, report it immediately. Normal tips range from $2 to $5, but I have seen much higher than that, especially if extraordinary service is rendered.  \n\n2.  If a valet is not nice, polite or courteous, you do not have to tip, but you should also speak to a supervisor while you're there to inform him/her of the behavior so that it will be dealt with. If no one complains about bad behavior, it will never be changed.\n\nJust remember - they are paid very little and tips really do matter to them. If they do a good job, give them a tip. Some have families at home - others are going through school. But they are usually very busy and work hard for those tips!

$5 fare = $2 tip, $10 fare = $3, $15 fare = $4... if he is nice or just normal. Another $1-2 if he helps you with the door or luggage. If you are visiting a place that you don't know much about and you get some recommendations/advice that seem helpful then add another $1-2. If you get a good cabbie then get his cell phone no. and tip him well he will be at your own little private limo.

you can tip him anywhere from $2.00-$5.00  but I think that IKEA doesn't allow their employees to accept tips.

I tip a dollar per round if there are just 1 or 2 people, then add a 50cents or a buck per person....a little more if there are tons of people in my group or if we're ordering different mixed drinks...2 bucks per pitcher if everyone's drinking draft beer and an extra 5 at the end of the night if the service was really good, or we were really a hassle.

None. I'm a waitress and every restaurant gets the morons that don't know how to tip properly.

Sometimes you don't want to tip because the server gave you almost no service.Heres your seat ,what do you want to order,here it is and then put the check down.......What happend to may I get you something else..would you like your food  boxed. you know the service part...Then you see a post like this one.must be from the one who did not give you the service as it seems alittle short..IE.( get a job as a server making $2.13 per hour for 1 week and ask this question again.) ...........Tipping is by the service given..If you took that job "wait person" . So smile and give service like you would want given you.Then you'll get a TIP

I always go there, drive around and rent something.  If you are nice and have good credit... you'll only stay in a hotel/motel for 4 days or less.  And you'll get to know the area really well.

United States\n\n\nRestaurant bills usually don't include service charges, although some establishments may include them for large parties -- usually six people or more. For good service, it is customary to tip 15 to 20 percent. Bellhops and porters usually receive $1 to $2 per bag -- more if your bags are heavy.\n\n\n Taxi drivers are tipped 10 to 15 percent of the fare.

we had that same issue last year. I would say 20-80.\nit really depends on your relationship with him:\n1. is he the only doorman or it is a group of a few? (Cannot give them $50 each, right?)\n2. is he friendly? can you trust him to let someone in - a friend, a Plummer,  delivery of any kind etc’\n3. is he also the super of the building? If yes then is he good?\n\nIn general, if someone’s impact on your life is significant, then I think that a yearly $80 tip is a good investment.\n\nSince you are talking on a group of 6, I would suggest that you tip the manager of the group 50 and the rest $30. I would guess that this is a building with many apartments, thus the reason for so many doormen. They don’t expect you to tip them $50 each, they know it is impossible.\n\nAnother thing that you can do is to bring a nice pail of candy to make them happy (and forget that you were cheap on the tip)

Guess it depends on where you go and how expensive. \n\nTypically, at a place like Supercuts maybe a dollar or two should be fine.  If its a more professional shop and they use scissors maybe up to $5.  Though if I think about it the same percent you'd tip a waitress might be fine.

If someone is serving you, you should take the bill add it and move the decimle point over\nso it should go something like\n\nBill: $12.00\n\n12+12+24.00\n\nmove the decimle point over once to the left and boom.  Tip: $2.40.  of course...its always nice to leave no less than a 4 dollar tip...but thats the actual way i was taught

While I stayed at Portofino Bay Resort in Orlando, I visited the Green Tree Spa.  I had to ask because this was the first time that I had visited a spa.  I was told that most clients tip 15-20%.

I am totally against tipping. Maybe it's because I am English, but in my country you don't get paid extra for being polite, on time and well mannered. I don't get tipped for being polite to my colleagues, or for answering the phone in a nice way, or smiling, or being nice... why should waitresses and waiters get tipped for doing the same thing I don't get tipped for... they shouldnt, therefore i do not tip (unless they are REALLY hot or if they go out of their way to help me, that deserves a tip!!)

Depends on how much he does. If he just hlds open the door I'd say about $1 everytime. If he hails you a cab and walks you with an umbrella, I would go as high as $15 especially if he's nice and courteous and asks about your life.

Usually you have to tip the maître d' $10 or $20.

The hotel you are staying at should provide phone numbers for such services. Enjoy!
