The financial impact of tipping is often not accounted for or considered. Hidden costs and expenses are a huge reason behind why individuals cannot stick to their budgets or keep track of their spending. Through conversations with individuals in the service industry, friends and adults that I respect and look up to, I have come up with my best practices for tipping. Hopefully, these guidelines will be helpful to each of you if you ever find yourself in any unprecedented or new situations, as I did.
