Holiday Tipping Manual That Includes Prices and Gifts for 2020

Maybe I'm the only one who struggles with the correct amount to tip. I was a busser at Olive Garden and a server at Red Lobster prior to the radio.

I think I'm a good tipper but some things I didn't even know you tipped for. So, how does that change around the holidays? Well, I have your 2020 version of who you should be tipping and by how much.

2020 has definitely changed the game when it comes to donating and tipping. You get asked checking out in front of customers if you want to donate to the children's fund. What are you going to say no? The truth is you already give at the gas station, grocery store and then you have tipping in a Doordash world. That just means you're ordering more during a pandemic and that means more tips.

This year you might want to look at this as gifts or tips. It's the holiday and this is a little stepping your tipping skills to another level if you didn't already know. Let's get to it.

Think about how you tip or gift depending on your relationship with that person. I'm going to give you some really good examples following by a link to the complete list.
