How T-->> Tipping

I love it! Finally a full on guide to tipping that extra hand that was just extended to you via a delivery or getting your bags at the airport. I was signing into my Yahoo! account when I came across, well, these tips!

Bartender
Base Pay per Hour: $7.30
Tips per Hour: $10.30
Percent of Total Hourly Income in Tips: 59%

Fortunately for this service provider, we all tend to get a little more generous as the night goes on. But, it's a good thing when you consider that bartenders are getting the majority of their income from the extra dollars we place on the bar. Typical tip: 10-15 percent of the bar bill.

In general, including at an open bar, I put down $1 for every drink every time.

Waiter/Waitress
Base Pay per Hour: $4.60
Tips per Hour: $9.90
Percent of Total Hourly Income in Tips: 68%

Wow, nearly 70 percent of your waiter's income is based on that tip that you give. So, if you think that a bottle of wine would make a nice addition to your steak dinner, be ready to pay the service charge along with it. Typical tip: 15-20 percent of the bill, 20 percent at fine restaurants or if you have a large group.

Don't be a douche and act like you don't have to tip your waitstaff. Unless they totally ignored your needs, or got your order really wrong, tip! Not only does the waiter/waitress have to report their tips for taxes, they sometimes have to share with their Busboy. And at minimum wages.

Hairstylist
Base Pay per Hour: $9.90
Tips per Hour: $3.50
Percent of Total Hourly Income in Tips: 26%

Oh, if you could only get that perfect cut and color before those annual holiday get-togethers. You can! Just remember that your hairstylist relies on you to provide nearly 30 percent of their income. Typical tip: 15 percent of the total.

have always been confused on this one cause I think you are supposed to tip the shampoo girl a few bucks and then if your stylist is the owner you don't have to tip.
