We all know that we are practically forced to tip service industry workers 15-20%. Tipping has spilled over into a lot of other jobs. For the following professions, is it expected that you tip, and what do you usually tip?:
-Coffee shop workers
-bus boys(like when you pay at the counter and leave your trash on the table)
-Deli/counter restaurant workers with tip jar
-Sonic (or similar) food hoppers
-pizza delivery guys
-hotel bell boys
-hotel room service
-hotel maids
-valet parkers
-casino dealers
-movers
-shuttle bus drivers
-taxi cab drivers
-miscellaneous guides/ instructors(i.e. Ski instructors)
-curbside baggage check at airports
-oil change techs
-car wash attendants
-barber
And anyone else I forget to mention

I tip my service writer and tech at least $10.00 each. My repairs are always lightning quick and most if out of warranty are done goodwill or at cost.

You are supposed to tip movers? I just kept mine hydrated, water & Gatorade

I think that suffices. I worked as a mover one summer and people who did that were very appreciated.

Same but I've heard people mention doing it.
As far as bus boys, I meant at a place like George's, where you order at the counter, and leave your trash on the table when you finish eating. Some people leave a buck or 2 on the table.

If you walk into an oil change place with 10 people in the waiting room, tip the guy that writes your ticket up. You'll be done in a flash, I always do this. Time is money.

Who tips the guys who changes the oil?
