What the Tip? How Much Should You Leave as a Tip for Different Services

Hey Everyone,

Although I am a pro at calculating tips at restaurants from my business traveling days, I am always boggled with whether you should or should not leave tips at various other places. Even if I know you should leave a tip, it then becomes a game in figuring out how much of a tip to leave.

I was doing a search on Google yesterday for tip suggestions, and I ran across a good group of articles on CNN Money about how much to tip and whether tipping has anything to do with the quality of service. Check them out:

CNN/Money: How much money to tip

CNN/Money: Tipping not optional

Hope they are as useful to you as they were to me!
