Some travelers say tipping 20% or more is a way of showing their appreciation for the housekeepers, tour guides and servers who attend to their needs while they travel. In other words, it's just the right thing to do.
Ryan Patterson is an over-tipper. He routinely adds a 25% gratuity to his restaurant bill,"and sometimes as much as 50%, depending on the level of effort expended.""I know how difficult and thankless that kind of work is," he says."I also know what a morale boost it can be to receive a great tip. The way I look a it, an extra few dollars is not something I will even miss, but it might make a huge difference for the person receiving the tip.".
"When I was in college, I worked as a server, so know how hard it is," she says."I remember how bad I felt when I did not get tipped. It really hurts the self-esteem and finances of a server if you don't tip at all. Servers are not paid very much and rely on tips." "I grew up working in my family’s restaurant and understand the sacrifice and toll it takes to run a business," she says."It's not an easy job.""I especially feel very strongly about supporting small businesses and will do everything I can to help them," she adds."It will be a sad day if our economy is overrun by nothing but corporate chains.""I object to the term overtipper," says William Oei, who works for a federal agency in San Francisco.
"Is there such a thing as being too generous?" says Samantha Lambert, the director of human resources for a media company in New York."Totally."
