Default Re: tipping w/other ppl\'s money (coworkers, boss)

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.

I just realized the US has $1 bills so I'd just tip 20% without any rounding.

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

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

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.

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

I was visiting Ann Arbor from UofI this weekend, and was told of that shirt and went searching for it drunk at half time. Could not find it and kept getting really funny faces like it for some reason did not exist even though many had told me it did.

mb,

For the first one, with the boss, ask him "About how much do we normally tip the delivery guy?"

For the second one, lunch for you and coworkers, tip whatever you want.

similar but different:

Solo taxi ride: the receipt is for the amount of the fare. Do I just write next to it the tip amount? Or do I just tip out of pocket? I kind of don't mind tipping on my own since theoretically my tip is a reward for the driver for providing a service to me.

Have him give you a receipt including the tip.
