Does anyone else feel like tipping has gotten out of control in our society? I'm not against tipping for the standard things like restaurant service, but it seems like we have to tip for everything now. It was just last year that I heard about tipping housekeeping at hotels. Before that, I had never heard of tipping housekeeping. When did we start tipping for people just doing their jobs, ie. cleaning rooms, making a latte, cutting my hair, etc? Unlike a restaurant, where you are paying for the food more than the service, I would expect people to perform the service that I'm paying for with excellence. I don't get any sort of tip for doing my job. Now, please don't flame me, but why do people tip mousekeeping? Can someone please explain this to me? I have no problem tipping if it's justly deserved, but I have never seen so much tipping going on for jobs that have never been tipped before. Maybe I should put a tip jar on my desk...Hmmmm....
