I have tipped in the past but only if they helped me move something out of the way, i.e. the old furnature.

Every Christmas season I tip my mailman. I also tip furniture movers, paper carriers, I always bring gifts to my doctors' offices, and other people that their effort helps myself and/or family. And yes unless it is the worst service I can imagine I tip servers 20-25% and sometimes more. I'm not rich, nor do I want to be a big shot. I just knw they work hard with many times little appreciation.
