...you're tipping because it's a service thing, which is different to things like retail..someone has served you, yeah they get paid for that but they don't get paid accordingly to the level of service that's given, it's often left for the person being served to appreciate that and give accordingly...

...anyways, yes I tip at restaurants/taxis/hairdressers/any people working at my house/the guys who take my rubbish away and etc etc...sometimes it's a cash tip and sometimes it's a different type of gift...
