    Before I had a transponder, someone in front of me paid my toll on the FL turnpike. Humanity isn't lost just yet.

    Leave it in the room I guess? My neighbor used to be a hotel maid and she said a vast majority of people left a tip for her.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    5% of nightly rate, leave it on the pillow/nightstand when you leave.

    Well, you talked about doing it, and someone beat you to the punch, so apparently it is a "thing" now.

    Yes, you are supposed to tip your maid. I remember when I learned you are supposed to tip the haircut lady. Basically, you are supposed to tip anyone who provides a service. I've never tipped a mechanic though.

    I don't tip when I go to the coffee shop, but all I get is black coffee. I'll be damned if I tip somebody for filling a cup with coffee. But now that I think about it, I would tip a bartender for filling a glass with beer. Man, my whole world just flipped upside down.

    When I did a lot of trackside service I would get tipped
    I still get tipped by good customers when they are pretty happy with the work performed.

    I always buy for LEOs, EMTs, and Fire Fighters if they happen to be there when I'm getting coffee. My work days involve very little human interaction. Being that theirs do, I feel that sending them on their way with appreciation for their fellow man will spread outward.

    I don't tip at fast food places, ever. I sometimes will tip a restaurant when I pick up food, but no more than $2.00.

    Now I feel like a jerk dwalker.
