My tipping etiquette as it is currently (it changes over the years and you're welcome). Am I out of wack anywhere or forget anything?
Eating out
15%-20% with a minimum of $4 or $5 (like if you only stopped in to eat dessert or something and the total was only like 8$). Try to remember to see if the gratuity is built into the bill. I'll lean toward the 15% side if most of the bill is from alcohol.
Delivery
$3 and change. Sometimes up to $5 is it works out better for the change back situation or the weather is extra bad.
Cup at a counter (like a coffee shop)
About half the time I do the change or a dollar and change. About half the time I skip it.
Pickup orders
I usually tip a $1, sometimes $2 or $3 for a big order, but not always
Hotel rooms
I usually just leave a tip for the cleaning people at the end. $2 for every day I was there or $10, which ever is higher.
Help with bags
$2 or $3
Taxi
Maybe 10-15%
Coat check
$1
Valet
$2 at the end or $5 right away if your car is nice
