The economy may have turned some off of tipping at bars and restaurants. Also, many may not know what is expected for a tip these days. Here are some suggestions and guidelines to avoid shame.
Tipping and stiffing
One California waiter got a tip with a card that said, "I must cut back on discretionary spending and gratuities. I wish it didn't have to be this way for both of us." According to Detroit News, this is taking place all over.
Workers depend on tips
Employees need tips to survive, and whenever you take that from the, you are also taking away their livelihood.
Record Searchlight reports that one restaurant worker told Lennie Copeland, "If you can afford to eat out, you can afford to tip. Otherwise, stick to macaroni and cheese at home."
The federal minimum wage is $7.50 an hour, though restaurant workers can make $2.13 an hour. It is anticipated to come out closer to $15 to $20 an hour with tips, according to Copeland.
Employees have to share tips with other people in the restaurant usually, according to Wes Babcock at Cattlemen's Steakhouse. On top of it, the Internal Revenue Service expects that employees are getting tips and needs a minimum 8 percent for tax purposes. Then there is the 12 percent rule where the IRS will take a look at a business that is reporting less than 12 percent.

These are your tipping suggestions.
When you go to a restaurant, a 15 to 20 percent tip is anticipated. It used to be that 10 percent was anticipated, but now it is a little more.
At a buffet, since you are serving yourself, Tipping.org claims you need only tip five percent to 10 percent.
People who spend less than $30 at a coffee or deli counter only need to put about 50 cents to $2 into the tipping jar if it is there.
It is nice to give a 10 percent tip to the counter person when you get a to-go order at a restaurant, according to Tipthepizzaguy.
If that pizza is delivered, however, Tipthepizzaguy claims 15 percent is more like it, with a minimum tip of $3.
