For a food delivery, the standard tip is $3. I usually give more ($4 to $6) if they are delivering a lot of food, or if the weather is bad.

In restaurants nowadays, you are generally expected to tip 20% for good service. The standard tip was 15% for a long time, but in the last 10 to 20 years, it has gone up to 20% of the total bill. It is acceptable to adjust this up or down depending on the service. It is NOT acceptable to adjust this tip because of kitchen errors or delays. The waitstaff have no control over that.

Also, tips vary widely depending on the service. If you have a houseful of furniture delivered and you tip 4 men $3, you are going to receive very poor service in future. My general rule is to tip, per person, the amount of a nice lunch in your area. Generally no less than $20 per person.

Tips for personal services, i.e. haidressers. massage therapist etc,10-20% depending on the quality of service.

Do not give cash tips to hospital personnel. A tip should include all nursing staff for all three shifts. And specify if you give candy, which box is for which shift. A flower arrangement and a Thank You card for the nurse's station is nice. But really, a Thank You card is all that is necessary for good, attentive care.

There are books for tipping in all situations, but it reads like the tax code. Let your conscience and your ability be your guide.

How much do you tip a milk man?

The milkman provides a service weekly, rain, snow etc and is not a federal govt worker so you should tip them. Question: do you tip food delivery service to your home? I do, usually $3 each time they deliver. You should figure out a percentage to tip them weekly per your usual standing order: for example, if you only get 2 bottles a week, your tip should be less than someone who gets 10 bottles a week. 10% for mediocre service, you have to call and get your order corrected with up to 20% of your annual bill for excellent service. Or figure the weekly amount you would tip a food delivery service. In our area, our milkman delivers at night so these guys are out in cold/snowy weather at night bringing something directly to our door--they deserve to be tipped just like any other food delivery service

Should you tip for takeout meals and if so how much?

Usually, if you are eating Chinese takeout, and you pick it up from the location, than a tip is not expected. If you are ordering Chinese takeout for delivery, than a typical 20% tip is common. If you go to this site: http://www.eatchinesedelivery.com and order Chinese delivery online from a local Chinese delivery or takeout, than the tip is included in the price of the meal, and you don't have to worry about it. Also, you can know who is the best Chinese delivery restaurant by reading the customer reviews.
