Where all do you tip? 

I've seen tip jars on counters at convenience stores and fast food places.

Hair dressers, donut shops, concessions stands.

Normally I leave it on the stage, they don't like you touching the dancers.

I don't tip too many jobs. I do not put money in tip jars. Those people are being paid minimum wage.

I tip my shampoo girl & hairdresser. I tip my grocery delivery guy. I tip pizza, etc. food delivery people. I tip the guys at the airport who carry my luggage. I tip taxi drivers on the very rare occasions I use taxis. And of course I tip wait staff at restaurants. That is all I can think of.

 Even if I did drink coffee, I would not tip there.

Wait staff, taxis, hairdresser...

If there is a tip jar out and someone is just making me a coffee, scooping an ice cream etc... I will leave a tip if they are extra nice or helpful. I get coffee from the same person every day. I gave her $40 at Xmas as a thank you for a very caffeinated year.

Otherwise I tip: wait staff, hairdressers, nail salon workers, delivery people, and the young kid who has helped me haul crap into my apartment before.

Ever think about what you don't tip for?

We had to have the septic tank sucked out. They didn't get a tip. I think they probably deserve one more than a coffee jockey.

No one ever tipped dad for restoring their water or stopping a leak.

The wrecker guy didn't expect a tip.

Dancers
Waitstaff
Maids
Taxi
Hairdresser
Valet
Baggage check (but not the last time when he made me pull out two pounds of crap when the bag was at 52 lbs.)

The counter will only get left over change

If I pull 20 books for a teacher collection, do I get a tip? Nope, nor should I.

Tipping the servers, bartender and band is important.

We tip: servers, hair stylist, valet, bell hop, and delivery people ... that's all I can think of right now.

I used taxis when I was Florida back in 2002 and tipped the driver.

I don't tip at Starbucks. I have a gold card and they take it right off that. Too bad. I don't go there enough to tip a certain person. We do have four Starbucks right near us in three directions. We like one a lot more than the others so we show our thanks by patronizing it more than any other one. I tip the hairdresser, nail person, waiters and waitresses. We don't travel so don't have that. We tip the pizza person if they deliver but we rarely do that. They charge a seven dollar delivery fee and I can pick it up for that. We usually tip about $5-10. So that can be up to $17 we save by picking it up. Yeah, we don't do delivery. I've only tipped a dancer once. Or my b/f at the time did. lol She had no issue with me touching her.

I tip the men who pick up the garbage. But not at Christmas! I tip them June/July, when it's hot and sticky, and they're thinking about their up-coming vacations! They've always taken very good care of me, and have never damaged the (rather expensive) cans.

I tip food delivery people (delivery pizza or the like), waitstaff, and my barber. That's pretty much it. I give Christmas presents to numerous others (like the letter carrier, or a cashier that's always nice to me at the store) but don't consider that really a 'tip'.

Delivery people, cabbies, hairdressers, the maître d, the mailman at Christmas,,etc.
Never fast food.
Nobody tips me for giving them a flu shot.

Hairdresser, pedi person, dog groomer, waitstaff, moving people, food delivery. I don't put money in the tip jars, as a matter of fact, most of those tip jars are no longer in the coffee shops around here.

What about Christmas gifts? According to some, you are supposed to give a gift to literally everybody you interact with from teachers, child care workers, post man, garbage man and on and on. I mean, yes, that is a nice thing to but honestly, i just don't have time to make that happen sorry. And, no i am not going to tip the Postman. They have one of the best jobs going with great retirement, pay and benefits so i don't tip govt workers.
The garbage man, i would have to get up at 3 am and go stand outside to even know who is taking out my trash.

My father used to leave the garbage men cases of beer. They took whatever he had out there.

I just tipped the guys who delivered my flooring. One guy didn't speak English except for the word "Thank you". Best words to know!
