Losing Your Job. Your Rights To Fair Wages. Your Health and Safety. When you are picking up a food order you might see a tip jar on the counter. These are a relatively new concept, and you are not generally expected to tip unless you feel that you have had exceptionally good service, or the staff have gone out of their way to help with your order. If you do want to contribute to a tip jar, many American customers give their loose change dependant on the order size, especially if they are regular patrons.
Collecting your own fast food might not warrant a tip, but getting it delivered is a different case. Whether you are at a bar with friends enjoying a few beers, or in a restaurant, you should expect to tip the bartender for every drink you buy. Whether you are paying for a valet parking service, or if it is complimentary, you are still expected to tip!
You might also want to give the valet who parks your car an equivalent tip, as there is no guarantee you will have the same valet twice. With a bit of luck, tipping the valet who is parking your car might just get you preferential parking — out of the sunshine on a hot day for example! Whether you are using a traditional taxi firm, or a ridesharing service such as Uber or Lyft you should tip your driver.
