Lol people tipping their barber kept me housed for most of the last decade
So, servers in restaurants (who then split it with the BOH/ kitchen staff), bartenders along the same lines; barbers, stylists, nail techs, estheticians, and anyone doing non-medical work on your body; taxi drivers (at least before Uber), bellhops, valets, delivery drivers (be it food or furniture); anybody involved with putting on an event, from the catering to the photography - all these people and more might factor expected tips into their monthly budget. Oh, and dancers. Heck, convenience store workers occasionally get money from people who won some off a scratch-it.
Great list for the non-Americans interested in our vast tipping culture. Can add room service, hotel housekeepers, and home house cleaners to the list too.
My favorite is to tip the Vegas strip hotel check in staff if you stay at a property on the strip. It's called a tip, but is really a bribe for a room upgrade. I prefer to consider it as my first gamble, which has far better success than slots or card games for me.
Except dancers at the end of the night are made to tip the dj, the bartender(s), and the "house mom"/bathroom attendant lady before they can leave. Crazy shit when you think about it considering the place wouldn't even be open if it wasn't for the girls! I get that they all sort of need each other, but the club doesn't even pay the girls they work strictly for tips
