Rules, Rules, Rules

I read in a paper about the how to's in tipping. Everybody knows waitresses and baggage handlers are suppose to be tipped. But bartenders, maids, strippers (ok I know strippers go to men holding out money), bellhops, taxicab drivers, theater usher, and hairstylists. Are we really expected to remember all this advice? Then you have the problem of some companies forbidding taking of gratuity and others allow it within the same type of business. No wonder people are so confused on the rules. Post later. Bye!
