When the person serves u the best
when the "dancer" is doing a real good job....
When the person has a job where they expect to get tipped.
%15 is generous but at a nice restaurant, if the service is good, is appropriate.
I've read all of the answers and comments. It seems as though you are trying to understand when tipping is important to the various situations you encounter. How vital is it, not only to the etiquette, but also to the well being of the person receiving the tip?
Restaurants: Food servers are often paid less than minimum wage. Tips are what makes up the difference in their "survival" income. The servers at small diners get much less in tips than those at higher priced restaurants. I ALWAYS tip unless the service is substandard.
Hair stylists: When you get a good cut, tip! You can build a relationship. They usually don't make much over minimum, and appreciate the recognition.
Housekeeping: Hotels overwork and underpay. Their service deserves appreciation.
Holiday Bonuses: Whatever service you can afford to recognize, do. (Postal <$20 by law, garbage collectors, babysitters, etc.)
Just consider the benefit and quality of the service you enjoy. Then think about the person receiving your gift and how it will enrich them. Give accordingly.
1. The people you tip are likely to remember. They will be motivated to continue "getting paid" and therefore to continue performing well. You will get great service each and every time.
2. You will know you were a good person. The underpaid waitress who gets treated like a subhuman slave by others will feel appreciated and have the money to buy food for her children - because you understood.
You may not be "signing" a paycheck, but you are paying people. Would you like to work for free? It feels good to go beyond "what about me" and realize that you much to offer. Simple gestures like a couple of singles left on a table can mean a lot.
That server is a person who may well be paid less than minimum wage.
Yes, you're right. The business should be better to them.

In general, I keep a very positive outlook. People looking at my life would wonder why. Most would say we've had a terrible string of luck this past decade. Cancer, collapsed lung, broken bones, multiple family deaths... And yet, I'm happy! I look at this decade and realize that I'm surrounded by love. There have been beautiful experiences.

I put my nose to the grindstone when I have to work through hard times. (Get that over with!)
I play and laugh every chance I get!
