[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1371336, member: 20599"] ce)I didn't pick an option because it varies so much. Unless service is bad, I never leave below 18%, and usually shoot for about 20-22%. On a small tab at a lower-end spot, I'll go 30% easy. I tip the h#ll out of cabbies. When I worked in the city, if I was running late to the train home, and only needed to go a few blocks and the next train was an hour later, I'd grab a cab to the station and throw them a ten or more for a $4 fare. Getting home an hour early to the fam was worth it and more. I tip the maids at hotels if the room was clean. I HATE tipping people to carry my luggage, especially at the high-end places where they try to route it through 3 different people (one from your car/cab to the front door; one from the door to the front desk; one up to your room). Heck with that! I've been known to schlep a pile of bags myself (even at a fancy place where I'm sure they thought me tacky) to avoid paying each person the supposedly-standard $5/bag. I saw an interview with Oprah years ago when she said she refused to play the luggage hand-off game and would only tip the last person. I figured if that worked for a millionaire, I can do the same.
