COLUMBUS (CREDIT.COM) – Unless you’re a real cheapskate (or received bad service), you’re probably already tipping your restaurant servers 15% to 20% and your bartenders around $1 a drink. But what about all those other people? What’s the right amount to tip the pizza delivery guy? Your hairdresser or barber? Your doorman, if you have one?
The folks at the Emily Post Institute are experts at tipping etiquette. Knowing who to tip and how much can be difficult, the Post experts say; giving too liberally may come across as showy, while not giving at all may seem ungrateful.
One way to be sure your tipping etiquette is on point is to budget for tips. So, for example, Lizzie Post from the Post Institute, and co-host of the Awesome Etiquette Podcast, suggests that if you have $15 in your budget for eating out this week, make sure that $15 covers the tip as well. And the same holds true for holiday tipping for service people you see regularly throughout the year.
