The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips. Some haven't been able to do their jobs at all while others don't interact with customers the same way. Just as many services have changed, so should tipping. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over. As for specific situations, here's what the experts recommend:

FOOD AND DRINKS

Restaurant workers

OLD RULE:Leave a tip only when you dine in.

NEW RULE:Always tip, even for takeout.

TIP: 15 to 20 percent when you dine in, and 10 to 15 percent on takeout or delivery orders.

HOME DELIVERIES

Package delivery drivers

OLD RULE:Don't tip.

NEW RULE: Show appreciation if you get deliveries more than once a week.

TIP:  Drinks, snacks, or $5 to $20 if a package is particularly heavy or large. Postal workers cannot accept cash or gifts worth more than $50 per year. UPS tells drivers to decline tips unless a customer insists. And FedEx bans employees from accepting cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards).

PERSONAL SERVICES

Ride-share drivers

OLD RULE:Tip in cash.

NEW RULE:Ask your driver. The Lyft and Uber apps let you add gratuities, but some drivers prefer cash.

TIP:15 to 20 percent.

Hotel housekeepers

OLD RULE: Tip at the end of your stay.

NEW RULE:  Many hotels now do housekeeping by request only, so tip every time you ask them to come.

TIP:A few dollars per night, plus $5 for any extra requests, such as asking for additional toiletries.

Next time, you're unsure whether a tip is in order, follow this simple rule: When in doubt, tip. “Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”
