R.I.P. To The $1 Tip

Tipping is a lot of times anxiety causing for a lot of people, how much to leave catties, doormen, and drivers, can be an endless puzzle.

So, the big question is, is the $1 tip really dead? Drum roll please, and the answer you have all been waiting for it, yes. Yes, you heard right, the $1 tip is officially dead and not coming back anytime in the near future. For example, at the coat check, you can’t just leave a dollar.

The rule of thumb is $2 for the first jacket and $1 additional for every jacket. Same goes for bartenders, and they are telling people that the $1 tip is becoming less and less common. So, what does this mean for us, is the $2 bill coming back anytime soon?

Well, believe it or not you can actually go to the bank and request $2 bills and they will give them too you. They are perfect for tipping.

But, be careful because you may not realize it but a lot of times tipping is incorporated into a bill such as in a NYC taxi cab as they know that they can be short changed. Tipping is not only polite but also important to follow. If you’re having trouble there are apps for tipping calculators. So, next time you go out be sure you tip well!
