Emma & Michael: Hey!

Michael: Now, we know there might be some Reservoir Dogs-style debates about why these people are tipped and why these people aren't tipped. But for this video we're going to put the debates aside and just give you some basic guidelines on how much you should tip.

Emma: Okay, we've got a lot to get through, so rapid-fire alphabetical style.

M: Bartender.

E: [old-timey accent] Hey-a sir, could I get a drink over here?

M: If you order a water or soda, anything other than change. If you order alcohol, $1 per bottled drink, 20% per craft cocktail. Multiple drinks in happy hour: 20% of the original price.

E: Bellhop: $2 for first bag, $1 per additional bag. $2-$3 for additional service like room delivery.

M: Cab driver.

E: Hey, sir, 56th and Lexington please!

M: [driving sound] Varies from place to place, but according to CNN, it's safe to assume 15% is enough.

E: Coatroom attendants: $1 per coat.

M: Concierge.

E: [different accent] Hey sir, I'd like 3 tickets for Anything Goes! Post haste!

M: Cole Porter is the top.

E: He is the top! He's like a... like, I dunno...

E: Delivery person.

M: Hey! 17 pizzas please, at 123 Please Subscribe Lane.

E: Think of a delivery person like a waiter who likely has to use their own car to get to your table. $3 or 15% of your order, whichever is higher. For a difficult delivery, 15-20%. If you're order is late or wrong, remember that it's not necessarily the driver's fault, and you may want to tip them the same.

M: Doorman. Smile, thanks, a nonchalant high-five for opening the door. $1-4 for carrying luggage, $1-2 for hailing a cab, and a little extra if it's raining. Above and beyond the call of duty? $1-4.

E: Gas attendant: no tip required. That was anticlimactic!

M: It really was... Grocery loader. If store policy allows tips, $1 for bringing bags to car, $1.50-3 if you have more than 3 bags.

E: Hair Salon. 15-20% which you can ask to be split among those who served you.

M: Massage. 15-20%

E: Movers! 5%

M: Airplane Porter or Skycap. $2 first bag. $1 per additional bag.

E: Not a pre-tipping type situation.

M: No...

E: Wait 'til you got your vehicle back.

M: Yeah, that seems like a pretty reasonable arrangement.

E: Wait Staff. That's the name of Gandalf's hip-hop album. 5-10% minimum, 20% for average service, 30% for excellent. If you get comped, 20% of bill. If you drink at a table but don't get food, $1 per drink. If you're getting take out, no obligation if you go in to get it. 10% for extras like curbside service or for a big, complicated order.
