I too, tip according to service. Which means that if you come by and check on me, don't let my glass get empty before refilling it, and I don't have to ask for things more than once, then I will tip you well.

I only tip at Sonic (like $1-2) if they roller-skate my order to my car. Yes, some of them still skate out to your car! It's so cool!

As for hair/nail stylists, I always tip 15% and give a little extra if they worked me in on a crowded schedule. And I always give gifts at Christmas.

Now for the ones with kids, does anyone give their child's teacher(s) gifts? I usually do at Christmas and at the end of the year and I also donate snacks and books and supplies from time to time.
