Some life advice from Sam Sanders:
Tip. Tip everybody. Tip the guy who runs your apartment building. Tip your ride share driver. Tip the lady who delivered your food. Tip whoever cleaned your hotel room. Tip the person who changed the oil in your car. Tip your waiter. Tip the host/ess, as well. Always be tippin’!

I’ve always been an OK tipper, but in recent years I’ve actively tried to become a more generous tipper. I can easily afford it, and it’s one more (modest) way of helping folks out. It only adds up to a fraction of what most of us give to formal charities, and if everyone did it, it would make a difference. Not the biggest difference in the world, but every little bit helps.
