Before you reach into your wallet or not, check with expert Constance Hoffman, etiquette coach, trainer and owner of Social and Business Graces. Whether in your local community or traveling, Ms. Hoffman offers advice on when and how much to offer as a gratuity.
Offering a tip and the amount is a constant dilemma for Americans, states Ms. Hoffman. If I don’t tip will I offend someone, or if I need to tip how much is correct. Business travelers especially run into unique and questionable situations.
According to Ms. Hoffman, “The question I get most often is, ‘How much and when?’â€
Tipping is an American custom, and ingrained in our culture. However, is it always necessary? Constance has all the answers in her latest booklet, “Tips on Tipping†which provides over 60 situations and gratuity suggestions. Whether at the car wash, the coffee shop, beauty salon, or hotel services, she provides details of when and how much to offer.
Ms. Hoffman has been quoted in numerous articles in such publications as the Los Angeles Times, and OK! Magazine; is a monthly contributor to the Santa Monica Star newspaper and has appeared on The Learning Channel.
She offers training seminars to individual business professionals and groups, as well as youth classes in communication, social, and dining manners.
