发帖数: 243 | 3 why do you say that? someone told you or its just your thinking? It's
illegal to solicit tips but it doesn't mean it doesn't make difference. I
have noticed service people's attitude is not as good as treating western
people. why? because they don't "expect" tips from us. and why don't they
expect tips? Have you thought about it?
$10 can make them happy. Please show respect to those people who make your
living inexpensive.

发帖数: 3888 | 6 Why do I say that? I say that because tips are a matter of customs. It's
customary to pay tips for some services, but not others. Without knowing
anything more about you, I can tell you right now I know more about American
customs than you do.
I also say that because in my undergrad days I worked in delivery jobs,
moving things much heavier than mattresses. I have first-hand knowledge
when tips are expected and when they're not. When you say you believe "
western people" tip more generously than we do, it tells me that you have
absolutely no knowledge but still likes to imagine you're more generous than
other Chinese.

发帖数: 243 | 8 If you google this topic you'd find that the answers are mixed. I don't want
to argue with you as after reading your post I agree you know more than I
do on this. But I'm still surprised that with the experience in heavy
lifting jobs you still discourage people to tip. I've always tipped peopole
who I think works hard and deserves a good pay. It's not about how you
imagine yourself to be, but what you'd like the world to be and your willing
to contribute to it.

发帖数: 4965 | 9 I also wonder about this topic,
could you please explain why? and generally a more complete coverage of
where tips are not expected?
for example I think it's generally agreed that you need to tip movers when
moving your home; but why don't you tip a delivery guy? how about
cleaning company? ADT installer? cable company installer?
