Tipping - But not for dining

[geeman237]

I've been in the US since 2004 now and I am still a bit vague on the subject of tipping for things like delivery folks dropping off a new fridge or 2 post car lift (in my case today).

What about Uber, do you tip the drivers, even though Uber touted you weren't expected to? I think they've introduced a tipping option on the app now.

What are your tipping err tips?

Thanks for your different perspectives and experiences. I think location in the US may play a small part on expectations too.
I always tip in restaurants, usually 20% for good service. I will tip down if the service is not on a par with what I would expect from the establishment, and I am not a high maintenance self entitled wannabe foodie

I have been in Uber cars and the owners have put blatant self printed notices in the car about tips being appreciated etc. That instantly means no tip from me.

I will occasionally tip hotel staff, always when I get my hair cut (damn, that works out at $66/hr for them! )

Bars, usually a couple of bucks for a small round, otherwise I'll tip when I pick up the tab on my credit card.

Never had anyone give me the evil eye or cough for not tipping.
