I didn't really phrase that very well. What I meant was, we don't tip hairdressers, doctors or dentists but I assumed in the US, you would tip hairdressers but you would not feel comfortable tipping your doctor or dentist. I was trying to illustrate the level of discomfort I would feel tipping anyone at all.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't because of discomfort that we don't tip doctors or dentists, it is because of the norms and customs of who gets tipped. A doctor or dentist or anyone in their office would never expect a tip, it wouldn't cross their mind. Discomfort never enters into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
