A buck a bag and then some. The ins and outs of tipping.

Newport Beach, CA (March 2, 2008) ‘“ Queercents (http://www.queercents.com), a personal finance blog serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, today announced the launch of its weekly series called Tipping Etiquette.

The series, written by Mike Bode, explores what’s proper and what’s not when it comes to gratuity and customary amounts for satisfactory service. Bode is a research analyst living in Atlanta, a town known for its practice of protocol. Good manners get the best of him as he discusses the ins and outs of tipping each Thursday. Topics include:

  • Why Do We Tip?
  • WWYD: How Well Do You Tip Your Worst Enemy?
  • How Much Gratuity on a $600 Bottle of Wine?
  • Gratuity Added : The Pros and Cons
  • Fast Casual Restaurants and Tipping Practices

  • Do You Tip on Dishes Sent Back to the Kitchen?
  • Hotel Tipping — Who Knew?

Bode defines himself as a minimalist and simple living enthusiast who tempers the occasional splurge with disciplined saving. He’s also a conscious tipper. His personal motto when it comes to spending is ‘œMoney can’t buy you happiness, but poverty will almost guarantee misery.’ Queercents is pleased to host this helpful series that is sure to bring a smile to anyone who has made their living serving others and dependent on tips.
