Some lower-paid jobs have always relied on tipping. I always tip my waiter or waitress if the service has been good. I tip the girl who washes my hair (hairdressing apprentices make nothing...) but not my hairdresser as he owns the salon. If he wasn't the owner I would tip him. I always tip my cab driver - black cabs only I don't take minicabs. I'll tip someone delivering to me if they have to do something... install the washing machine they've delivered or something. No one else really... and usually 10-20% depending on what it is.
