Most of what was already mentioned...
Though, I do tip in the jar at Thundercloud Subs - they rule and are very "Keep Austin Weird" and worth every tip they are given. I like to random tip - for those people that work their ass off and don't work a job that is typical of tipping. Getting my car detailed - if they pay attention and actually detail the vehicle rather than just clean it [there is a difference] they will receive a nice tip.

Barber, food server, taxi driver, bell hop, massage therapist (no happy ending required)and a few others in the service industry.
I won't put money in a tip jar like most of you. I also won't tip a homeless musician on the street. If they are that good go get a gig somewhere at a local tavern. |

Okay add bartender to my list too. I forgot about that one.
I also throw money in musicians cases on the street. Not all of them, but some of them I'd see a few times a week in the subway and they were good. Really good. So I'd throw a quid their way. ![]() |

Food servers
Baggage people Delivery guys hairstylists As someone who never drinks hard liquor at bars, I don't tip bartenders. Yey, you can grab a bottle, congrats you aren't getting more money unless they serve me food, but thats because they serve me food.

![]() I only tip the concierge when they hook me up - like the guy in China with the tour of the Great Wall. I usually don't use them, but when I do I'll give them a tip (usually $20-30, not based on the amount I spend on the tour). Whether that's standard protocol, I have no idea. I only tip housekeeping when they go out of their way, like in China, they'll fold and put away your clothes every day, leave bottles of water in the ice for you, etc. To me, that's worth a few bucks over the housekeeping that just makes my bed and gives me fresh towels. |
