pedro27: did you ever say ''keep the change'' when buying something?
sure--waiters(waitresses) bartenders, cabbies, doormen, ushers. It's done all the time.I don't think it is really done in "set" businesses, like gift shops and such, but shoe shines, haircutters, nail techs, etc...Some industries prohibit it, such as medical services/ nursing. We used to be able to give the garbage collector or postman a monetary gift at the holidays, but now it is not allowed.
