I've only watched that clip about 10-20 times.
20% (or more) for restaurant servers, hair dressers, massage therapists, and other services.
regarding buffet style - this is really kind of up to you. any good rule of thumb anyone? also, today punzy and I ate at Smiling Fish (my favorite place on all of 30A!), we order and pay at the register. they bring the food when its ready. tip at the register or at the table, and how much?

Does everybody tip their hair stylist 20% too. The bill is usually so high if you get color or a few weaves. I tip wait staff way more than a hair stylist. It is still ususally a 12 -20 tip depending on the service though. 
and a massage,,,,ot oh. I didn't know you were spozed to. :shock: I was in the person's home shop once for a massage, does that matter? Why would I tip on top of good payment in that case? Is that different or not? How about when Hubba got me a gift certificate at a salon for a massage? I was supposed to tip? Ooops. Does everybody tip for massage? 
Isn't it all different depending what service you are being provided? Oh yeah, maybe I'll go research on Wiki about the hair and massage. I sure don't want to be a cheapskate. ;-)

I'm nominating this one for Post of the Year.
SeacrestKristi -- Yes, massage therapists get tipped. I usu. tip 20% to them. When I've bought gift certificates for massages to give as gifts, they don't let me include a tip, because they have no idea who will be giving the massage and it is too difficult to keep track of allocation of the cash, especially when a gift certificate may be valid for six months or a year. So, instead, I just enclose a $20 bill with the gift certificate and let the recipient know that it is for the tip. It is a bummer when you work in the customer service business and, even though you might be paid well, a customer leaves without tipping. You feel almost rejected, or that you didn't do your job well, because most people tip. As a couple people have mentioned, it is funn to tip heavy sometimes. It may change the attitude of the person for the remainder of the day and make them feel special. It is the gift which makes US feel good. It isn't always possible to tip heavy, but you shouldn't always stick to your guns about 20%, especially if the bill is under $10. WoW somebody every once in a while.

Tipping an extra dollar or five on top of a 20% tip is one of the few times a single buck allows me to feel generous...and it lets the servers know they did a great job.
It is funn to leave an extra five or so at a place like IHOP, where it may come as a surprise and mean something to a weary server.
*** Question: What do you bonus your regular servers, bartenders, hair stylists, cleaning crew, etc, at the holidays?
Does the manager at a favorite spot get a "holiday gift", too?

Good questions, josebby. My dad used to tip all the waitresses at his favorite restaurant $100 each Christmas, but the man eats at the same restaurant at least five times a week for the entire year. As for me, I'd be broke if I did that. I prefer to give them gifts year round, usually things I make which are more personalized than cash, and a lot easier on my wallet. One time when I typically tip heavy is when I know a server had a slow day (no business).
I never know who gets tipped and who doesn't. What makes one job "tip worthy" and others not?
I think great service should always be recognized and rewarded in monetary or non-monetary form, but know I've definitely committed a few unintentional tip gaffes in my day.
