I hate it when they have it on the card machine and you click no, then hand it back and they just look at you

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.

I used to tip the delivery driver when I ordered a takeaway with free delivery or a taxi driver if it was a long journey, other than that not really.

mayb if lower paid jobs did not rely on tipping they would fast become better paid jobs?

In the US I think the wages for waiting staff are genuinely so low that tips really are how they survive so it's expected. Not leaving one then, would be making a point that the service was exceptionally poor.

In the UK however, the wages are exactly the same as many other jobs that aren't even in customer service and so "getting tips" is impossible... the pay is the pay. Personally I do tip if the service has been noticeably and genuinely (i.e. not cheesily) ABOVE average, but not otherwise
