Chismillionaire's no nonsense tipping giude---To tip or not to tip

Chismillionaire, while not quite having a Reservoir Dogs no tipping policy really only sees the need to tip for very good/excellent service.

The girl at TGI Friday's doesn't deserve ten bucks on your 50 dollar check because she brought out your free refills and said the warm cookie dessert is the best OK?

However the waiter at the steak house who crumbs your table and is always on time with every single element and is knowledgeable and cheerful deserves a little extra. The waiter/waitress who brings your credit card back and tells you thanks for coming and uses your first name makes a mental impact. When you leave the table and you return to find your napkin folded warrants a little extra

Other places for no tip- the golf course club drop off. They are useless- keep your money.

Valet-no tip, especially if there is an up front charge. Tip if the weather is extremely foul- hot cold raining etc or you are driving something very high line and they keep it close by for you.
.
Chinese Buffet - Never tip, they are just getting you drinks.

Housekeeping at the Hotel- dollar a day unless they do something out of the ordinary or bring you something you ask for.

Hotel Concierge- tip well. You can really get some value/build a relationship here

Bartender- Tip heavy- usually right when you get there- slap a $50 on the bar, say that's for you just remember me tonight. Solid technique that really works.

Airport curbside porter- $10-20. They really are helping you out here

Room service- no sir.

The barber? 2 bucks tops

Shoe Shine Guy? a Buck

Gentleman's Club- tip generously!!!!
