Old El Paso is offering a great promo.  On specially marked packages you can cut out and redeem a coupon for a 200g package of Kraft Shredded Cheese valued up to $6!  I got two kits on for $3.xx!  These have been out for a bit, but I figured it’s worth mentioning if you only check out the taco aisle once in a while. The coupons are valid until January 2012.

We’ve slipped! Apparently were not the biggest tippers anymore.  According to an independent study the USA is now number 1.  Number 10 was Germany.

I generally leave a decent sized tip, more for great service less for mediocre service.  In fact as I’ve been getting up in the years  I have started to leave less and less for undesirable service.  In my experience it seems that the new generation of service workers have come to “expect” their 15% regardless of service.  I’m not cool with that anymore. Why should I leave a good tip when the service was horrible, and sometimes down right rude.  I have worked as a server before, so I’m not expecting any miracles, but there is a certain level of service I know can be met with little effort.  Basically I now leave anywhere from 0-30%.

What do you leave as a tip for servers/bartenders?  Is there any other service you regularly tip on? Valet, dry cleaning, hotel stays, hair, etc? Do you calculate how much to leave exactly or do you guess?
