Tips For Tipping

Have you ever wondered how much to tip someone for their service? Here are a few guidelines for proper tipping.
When at the hair salon; The shampoo person = $2 tip. The Stylist = 15-20% of the bill.
Food Retailers and Coffee Shops; No tip. Smaller food vendors that have tip jars typically pay employees at least min wage, but if you frequent the shop alot occasional tipping is a good way to say thanks.
Restaurant Servers; 15% pretax of bill. Because servers minimum wage is much lower, they rely on tips to bring their wage up.
Pizza Delivery; 10% of pretax bill. But can be debated, some say to tip 10-20% based on how difficult the delivery is.

According to Yahoo Finance, tipping is a way to reward someone for their service, typically you will receive great service, so the server gets a great tip.
