tipping w/other ppl's money (coworkers, boss)

[blinden84]

This is basically why I always go it alone for lunching, gets way too stupid and confusing with some people, and somehow the money is always short.

I would just tip my standard amount for delivery, which usually is around 5-10%, $1 minimum

Ask the person giving you the money how much you should tip.

Didn't want to start my own tipping thread, so here's my recent tipping issue:

My doctor's office is in a big medical building. When you pull into the underground garage you're required to leave your car with the valet, they're right at the entrance. The doctor does not validate. I was there on Monday for 40 minutes and was charged $9 to park my car. Let me reiterate I did not choose to valet the car, I didn't have another choice. I did not tip the valet the extra $1, my wife said I was being a douche. Thoughts?

Please don't do this. Your boss will think you're retarded if you can't even handle such a simple responsibility as tipping.

Results wise, both times I tipped what I felt like ($6 on the $31, $5 on the $24) and neither time anyone seemed to care/notice/be upset that I "overtipped" or whatever. I just wasn't sure if there was some unspoken business rule about tipping in these situations or not. I certainly wasn't going to ask my boss lol.

I would think it's standard to casually ask, "How much for the tip?" or something along those lines. It is the boss's money.

your wife should leave you

I usually tip 20% then round off to the next full bill. The $24 I would have tipped $6. The $31 I would have tipped $9 but I'd then give the boss back $5 from my own pocket. It really depends on where I work. If it is a smaller business then I might just tip $4.

I agree with the wife on the valet issue.

fwiw it is a small business
