A CHEAT SHEET ON TIPPING DOS AND DON’TS

Tipping can be daunting. While most of us know that it’s appropriate to tip our server at a restaurant, it’s not always clear whether to tip the hotel concierge or dog groomer.
If you leave a tip, how large should it be? Is 20 percent an across-the-board solution? Will your tip leave you looking like Donald Trump or Ebenezer Scrooge? Are there situations where tipping isn’t necessary?
This list from Bankrate and The Associated Press should help you answer these questions as well as give you specific gratuity guidelines.
