[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1371341, member: 14585"] This post caused me to do a bit of background research on tipping in America. Prior to the civil war tipping was common in Europe, but rare in the USA. The rise of tipping in America coincided with the end of the civil war and primarily given to poor Negros in a manner of alms as in the Bible. In a 1933 book of etiquette a tip was defined as "A gift of money given to an inferior person, ie a servant" After WWII fueled by good economic times and increased luxury spending, tipping became common in America and by the 1960's 10% was considered the gold standard in good tipping etiquette. As America continued to move to become a service economy, tipping has moved from being a gift to an expectation. and in 2000 14.1% was the average amount tipped for services. In a recent "real world" study the size of gratuity given actually related more to age, race, sex and breast size than to the quality of the service received, which the majority of people SAY they base their tipping on.
