What is a grocery bag boy?
We used to tip the guy pumping gas, but when they stopped cleaning windshields they stopped getting tips.

They bagged your groceries for you and pushed them out to your car and loaded them. Did it for a couple years or so when I was around 16, the tips i got weren't worth mentioning.

I tip the wait staff but I rarely eat out. Only on vacation or on TDY (business trip). Buying more meals at supermarkets than restaurants on recent trips. Wife and I haven’t been to a restaurant in over 18 months due to the shutdowns and covid. Both of us are excellent cooks and we eat like royalty at home for 1/4 the cost of restaurants.
I cut my own hair, don’t use taxis, always carry my own bags, bag my own groceries at the self-checkout lanes, don’t do pizza delivery, and don’t go to bars.
I hardly tip at all. Loved living in Japan where no one tips. Tipping is a pretty stupid custom in my opinion. Spent time in Germany and they don’t tip restaurants there.

Never had those here.
But I forgot to mention caddies. I don't often use them but some courses require you to use a caddie. I tipped them heavily if they are really good and don't make fun of my game.

I'm the same well except I do tip the go to order. I think it's cause I used to work that same shift/job years ago and remember how bad the pay sucked/how it felt getting tips.

pretty must the same...
having worked for a few years in the service industry
i can usually tell when the waitstaff is trying or if they
just showed up not to get fired.
if they are trying IMO they get a better %
deliveries to my home or car ( think sonic) get tips

Where you at Mr .PINK?
There is always one in the group...what is about the criminals and suits with Tarantino 
I tip the same as your OP, more classic places you know to tip and usually 20% but may go higher for delivery guys in the rain/snow type thing. This new tip jar everywhere thing is a bit much and off putting at times deftly too. Kind of diff. but similar to asking for a bag at the grocery store...look at you like you're anti-social or something lol; the new "normal"

I try now to tip on that over in the locals there. And in the people that are trying to make it. As they are in the beginning of their careers. Meaning that ove rin the young people there. Being a waiter or a waitress is very hard from what I see.

anyone that provides a service to me that I am pleased with gets a tip, right down to the furniture and appliance delivery folks, the only exception are those that provide a monthly service..no tip for you!
