Tipping when already paying for service: is that weird?

Yes....Yeeesssss. Let the cheapness flow through you. Come on over to the Black side.

Well no shite.

Want to annoy the wife...tip 10% unless waitress has a huge rack...then go 25%. Works every time!

I tip the hotel cleaning ladies. Tipped the guy that installed my gutters last week. Tip my Amazon delivery person.

If people do a good job, they should get a little extra. They’ll go above and beyond next time as well.

I do give a large tip for a solid haircut.

I always try to give a tip, but they say no.

Chicken can we start a tipping board on here k thanx.

Honestly I do it arbitrarily based on feel. I know it's supposed to do with whether they own the company/work for themselves or not, but I don't really follow that rule entirely.

The guys who installed my kids playset a week ago I tipped. They don't own the company.

The dude who brought the firetruck (that he owns) to my kid's party, I tipped.

The guys who worked on my HVAC yesterday I did not. They don't own the company.

The guys who detailed my wife's car I tipped, they do own the company.

Standard maintenance dudes working on a dishwasher or whatever, I don't tip them.

If we're all being honest here we really shouldn't tip on a service being performed by someone that controls the price of said service. Waiters do not control the price so I think they should be the exception.

If you quote me $50 to cut my hair, that should be the price. If you quote me $30 to mow my front yard, that should be the price.

Tipping culture has gotten so out of control. It won't change, but it's certainly gotten to a nonsensical level these days.
