Summary: A survey released by coupon site CouponCabin.com showed that Americans weren't sure about who, when, and how much to tip people aside from the common restaurant staff, hairstylists, bartenders, taxi, car, and limo drivers, valets, and bellhops. Two etiquette schools, one in Washington and one in Missouri, released a list of 10 workers that commonly "should" be tipped but aren't -
1. Hair Stylist Assistant
2. Hotel Concierge
3. Pool Attendants/Hotel Staff
4. DJ/Band
5. Courtesy Shuttle Drivers
6. Gym Staff
7. Non-Medical Staff in Assisted Living Facility
8. Airport Transportation Staff
9. Hotel Housekeeping
10. Tour Guide
Analysis: I think it's ridiculous now that people expect to get a tip for mediocre service when it's supposed to be a show of appreciation for good service. The wages for those staff need to be raised so they aren't reliant on tips for their income. If I tipped everybody for everything they did no matter how poor they did it I'd be one broke ah mug
