Tipping?

jflare · 08-05-2010, 09:13 PM

Having a party for a 100 people. Ordered ribs and chicken from a restaurant. Cost of $600. I am picking up the order. How much do I tip?

If I have them deliver, there's a $20 fee. How much do I tip beyond that?

Thanks for advice

I'm not sure I would tip anything to pick it up. If you have them deliver, I would probably tip $25-50.

As an owner of a massage spa I can tell you the therapists live for tips! They study for a long time to receive their therapist license. And, they generally receive only a percentage of the cost you pay for a massage. In a city such as Chicago, New York, L.A., (or other large cities) you should tip the therapist a minimum of 25%. Generally, for a 1-hour massage costing $65, you should tip at least $15-20. If you receive a very good massage it is not uncommon for the therapist to receive much more. After all, they are performing a very personal service for you!
