In the UK I’d only tip for genuinely exceptional service, personally.

Taxi’s (as it’s very rare I’m in one these days) traditionally I’d have rounded up to the nearest full not (e.g. if it was £8 I’d just give them a tenner) but these days even “normal” (non-Uber) taxis generally take contactless payments so how do you even tip.

There is an option on the app to add a tip just the same as in restaurants where when you can add a tip to your card payment

I generally tip takeaway delivery drivers as they get paid so little, also round up taxi fares and tip waiting staff if they have been decent

My beautician has a tips jar but it is her own business so I never tip her
