My assistant is a single mother. And she has to deal with me. Rough circumstances and a crappy job. I should probably tip her every day for doing her job well without complaining.
My brother's trying to get by as an electrician apprentice. He works his arse off and is trying to make enough money to get married and not start off too far behind. Maybe he just gets a little tip.
My uncle is on and off the streets. He doesn't work often, but when he does it's the kind of job that you wouldn't be caught dead doing. He should make a fortune in tips.

What a pathetic thing to say.
I hope you pay your single mother secretary well, so she doesn't need tips.
I know exactly what electricians make, and so he does not need tips.
Save your Uncle being mentally ill, and based on your description, he needs to get a life.
Seriously bro, that last post was just so naive and plain wrong that it is almost hysterical. Pizza guy and bar-girl/tender make
minimum wage.
Right or wrong that is the reality of the situation.
If you can afford to pay a single mother a salary AND sleep at night feeling good about yourself then you an afford to be generous to those who go the extra-mile for you.
In the case of the pizza guy, I don't understand how you could show up and see him working by himself doing the work of four people and not feel that IS the extra mile? I mean, anyone who doesn't deserve your tip would have quit/not worked there at all given those circumstances. Who is going to make your Pizza then?
Also, next time you're out at the bar having a great time and realize you haven't had to wait for drinks or chase down your girl also realize she is making minimum wage and
still making sure your night is great. Tipping is the custom for showing appreciation for this.
