As someone that's been a nanny for years, I've never expected anything. This is in regards to Christmas bonuses, birthday, bonuses on top of raises etc. They are definitely welcomed and appreciated. I've also worked in the service industry for years. Never expected some of the tips I received, but they sure were welcomed with gratitude. I always try to tip in cash, for anyone I tip. It is encouraged and appreciated as they won't get taxed on it. I'm sure, especially these days, people are happy just to be tipped. I have friends in the service industry, who are trying to get by on doing curbside shifts. They told me a lot of people are hardly tipping, if tipping at all. Then there are some awesome people that go above and beyond, and tip a shit ton. That's always been the name of the game in the service industry. When I feel comfortable to get back to my hairdresser & nail ladies, I will tip a lot more, on top of what I already give them. They've been out of work, for a few months and not able to get unemployment, from what they've told me. Just follow your heart. If you're super happy with your service, whatever it may be, give the standard 20% and up it, however you see fit. Especially if it's someone like your favorite server/bartender, hairdresser/nail person you always go to, type of thing.
