Because you were feeling happy, did you tip a lot?

Even I am aware that when I'm feeling good, I might tip the driver more in a cab because I want to spread the good vibes, and money can surely do that. It wasn't always good for me because I didn't always have enough money for tips, and those are fleeting moments that I often regretted.
 
Yes most time when am Happy I do tip, but even when am not and the driver probably does not have change to give me, I usually leave the change with the driver cause I don't really have the strength to start arguing or looking for change.
 
Me tipping does not actually depend on my mood, it depends on how loaded I am at that particular time. If I'm the happiest person on the planet and I don't have much on me, of course I wouldn't be able to give a tip.
 
I am always conscious of myself when I tip and have never done so impulsively. When you tip someone and end up regretting later, it just means that you have lost the essence of that gift to that person.
 
I tip whenever I feel like, it doesn't really depend on my mood. But when I am in a good mood I might tip more, especially when I'm being attended to by fine girls! 😂
 
I do try to tip well in general as a way to support service workers, but I can't say my tipping is directly tied to my mood on any given day. When I'm feeling particularly happy or appreciative of good service, I may leave a bit more as a small gesture of gratitude. However, I aim to tip at least 20% for adequate service regardless of my personal mindset in the moment.
 
I do not waste money even when I am happy. If I do that will feel sorry later on. I tip just the amount that is appropriate. However, sometimes I help people with money, food and clothes and it makes me happy.

That is the best thing to do. It is always said that we should be careful of our actions when we are happy, so we don't end up regretting it. Tipping should be based on your financial capacity, not the mood at that time.
 
I was feeling happy yesterday, so I promised someone to pay for data subscription for a month as their birthday gift. Does this also counts?
 
I also lost such feelings when I was in a taxi, but I always try to think wisely because I can spend this money on myself and not on someone. I try to always leave a tip, but it's not huge even at times like this
 
I only leave a tip when I see someone display so much dexterity in a particular service and I have extra funds with me. I don't go about doing random tips when I am not in the class of very rich people yet.

True, I tend to tip when I really enjoyed someone's service to me, and that's not something I experience everytime. So I don't have to be tipping every now and then. There's no funds!
 
No, even in moments of happiness, I never tip. You might consider me frugal. Why do people spend their hard-earned money on tips to other people? I dislike people who hang outside restaurants, asking tips from customers departing after their meal. In my point of view, this is equivalent to begging.

You may be mistaken there. Tipping is not giving to people that do not deserve it. Giving money to people because they ask for it is not tipping. Tipping is what you willingly give someone because you enjoyed their service. Have you not done that before?
 
I normally tip depending on how good the service is. For instance when I am going out to eat, I normally tip 20% on average service, maybe 25-30% if it is well above the standard, and 10-15% if it is below. I don't really take my mood into account on how much I tip.
 
My tipping has nothing to do with my mood and everything to do with the service received. Likewise, the taste of my food or arrival time if I just taken a taxi will not determine my tip to the wait staff or taxi driver, it is their service, overall attitude and professionalism that will determine the tip.
 
These days am beginning to control myself and what I do when am Happy excited, so I won't end up promising everything I have just our of excitement.

That's what I think.

A tip is given when someone does good work. And in the case of a service provider, it's about how the service was provided. I seldom pay a tip but give it when I realize that the service was extremely good

That's how it should be. The tipping should not be based on your personal emotions, but on the services of the service providers. Otherwise one would end up draining the wallet everytime they are happy?
 
That's true!!
I would never want my wallet to be empty. Whenever a waiter expects a tip but the service provided is below expectations, I don't give the tip, and why should one? Sometimes the service provider thinks that it's his or her right to get a tip from the customer.
