The reason I started this thread is this. Â The shoe shine guy who comes to my office, on in infrequent, irregular basis, charges $5.00 per shine. Â He's a very nice guy, but doesn't do a very good job. Nonetheless, I usually tip him at least $2.00 per shine. What really irritates me is that when I pay him $7.00 for a mediocre shoe shine, he gives me this downtrodden look that seems to say "Is this all I get?"I usually give the guy at Nordstrom a fiver for a $2.50 chair shine. Â I would probably tip less for dropping off a bunch of shoes. Â His NBA analysis is worth the extra money, though. Â I need to talk to him and get his breakdown of the Rockets-Mavericks series.
Depends.
 I find giving out change as a tip to be incredible rude and belittling unless your at an ice cream stand and putting it in a tip jar and they like. Â
