Who should you tip and who shouldn't you tip?

Depending on where you are living, you will probably only have to deal with tipping waiters/waitresses at restaurants (not fast food in most cases), and the customary amount is 15% of your bill. If you order $10 worth of food, you should tip at least $1.50, unless you received awful service, and so on.

Luggage handlers, delivery boys, etc. generally expect a $1-2 tip, not a percentage. Taxi drivers are the same I believe, but I’m not sure because I don’t live in an area that uses taxis.

Most supermarket employees these days are not allowed to except tips… It used to be commonplace years ago to tip baggers, but supermarkets started competing for customers and lured them in by saying there was no need to tip their employees… Now most forbid their employees from accepting tips.
