Do you tip people who aren\'t servers/bartenders?
Last time I stayed in a hotel room with some friends, the next morning someone was like 'oh, everyone chip in a buck so we can tip the maid'. This seemed normal, though I'd never heard of it.
The other day though, the maintenance man can to unclog the sink (I live in an apartment building). as he was finishing up, one of my roommates asks me 'hey do you have any $ to tip the guy for fixing our sink?' and I tell her, 'sure, but do you tip maintenace dudes?' and she says yes like how the hell could I not know that already. so, OOT, who have you tipped that isn't a server/bartender? do you tip hookers, for example?

- Valet
- The kid that cleans the clubs after the round (if, in fact, I have him clean the clubs) - Skycap (if, in fact, he helps me with some luggage) - Taxi/Limo drivers and shuttle drivers, depending on the nature of the shuttle I'm sure I'm leaving some out...

If the dude fixed the sink at 3pm, no tip necessary. If 3 am, then it's probably a good idea to tip him/her.
Anytime someone goes "above and beyond" the standard service, it's acceptable to tip, but still not mandatory. I hate people with money who tip everyone just because they can. They ruin it for everyone else who can't afford this luxury.

I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, that [censored] is for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

If you don't tip me, and regularly come in and don't tip me because of your personal beliefs, you'll quickly find managers at your table telling you not to come back. I know this is a bit beyond the scope of this post, but as a tipped worker, I hate this attitude. EDIT: Oh, gimmick account. Okie-silly-dilly-okio. I'm an idiot.
