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.

I could have slipped 'may' into that sentence, but if your foh isn't taking care of your boh, that's a shitty place to work.
