Are you from a culture in which it's standard practice to tip for services?
If so, for which services, and what's the standard where you live? What do you consider fair? Are there circumstances in which you wouldn't tip when you ordinarily would?
Is it an expected thing for every visit or only at certain times of the year? When it comes to food and drink, is there a difference to you between restaurant and counter service?
Have you worked a job where tips are expected? Encouraged? Hoped for? Do you think this makes a difference in your perceptions to those of people who haven't? Do you remember how well (or whether) people tip and does this make a difference in how you treat them if they come back?
If not, have you traveled in places where it's customary? What are your thoughts on it?

Yup, here in America, you usually leave a tip for various things. Meals are the most common, and I leave 15% of the total bill as tip. If the service is really good, the waiter will get a bigger tip, but for me, 15% is the benchmark.
And I've never worked in a tipping service.
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!
Never underestimate the power of the nerd!
