All right. Today's question comes from Jackie in Massachusetts. She says,

Everywhere I go these days, there's a tipping screen now at the end of the purchase. For the average person who's not in Baby Step 7,

when is it

appropriate to leave a tip at coffee shops and restaurants versus not giving one? That's actually a

really good question. I mean, I definitely feel like since COVID, since the pandemic, tipping has

kind of gone into the stratosphere, I think. And there's been some tipping fatigue out there. I definitely think

whenever you're in a restaurant situation where you're sitting down, placing an order,

there's somebody attending to your table, you should always tip. And I think that you should

tip between 18 to 20 percent. That's just me. I'm a 22 percent tipper. That's my, that's

Jade's personal thing, but you'd need to at least be, I think, 18 at those places. Now, there are,

I think also anything that's really a close, close, I'm going to call it a closely felt service,

right? So somebody who's cutting your hair, someone who's doing your nails,

they're like involved in your bodily person while they're doing a service.

I think that those people also should be tipped.

Again, 15% is a great place to start on that.

Things that I don't tip for or, you know, sometimes sometimes it's like it just depends on if it's really

great um would be I don't know like a barista service something like that it's like I got my coffee

if it was really good and I know the person and it's like always the same guy or something I might

tip them a little bit um grocery delivery if it's like always the same guy or something I might tip him a little bit um grocery delivery

if it's raining out always tip um uh what about you Dave I'm just trying to think what do you not

tip for I'm trying to think what I don't tip for I'm a tipper though I I lean heavily for me
