why you tip as much as you do?why you tip as much as you do?why you tip as much as you do?

In a cafe in northern New York, a waiter stopped in the kitchen for a while, pulled a playing card from the shuffled deck, and then brought a check to the table.
If the card he painted is red, the waiter will give every diner a high on the table.
High quality chocolate wrapped in tin paper and their bill.
However, if the playing cards he painted were black, the bill would turn into chocolate --free.
The waiter is one (willing)
Participate in experiments designed by behavioral scientists to study a small gift (
Chocolate in this case)
It may affect how much a restaurant customer decides to tip.
The standard view in economics is that in any service you don\'t expect to be a repeat customer, tipping is a behavioral quirk --
In a world of human reason, return-
Actors maximize, really shouldn\'t happen.
It makes sense to tip your regular waiter at your regular restaurant or your doorman at each holiday, as the quality of service you will receive in the future will most likely depend on these tips.
But economists find it strange that people tip the bellman when they leave a hotel they will never go to again, a waitress outsideof-
A town restaurant or taxi driver in a big city.
In addition to social expectations, there is no economic reason for such transactions technically.
Such nerdy behavioral scientists conducted a one-day field study to find out what strange things affected our decision on tips --
Economic theory holds that we should not make a decision in the first place.
Most of the study was conducted in restaurants where unsuspecting diners followed the procedures of a cafe in northern New York.
There, the researchers found that diners who packed chocolate with checks had an average tip of 18 cents, but only 15 cents under normal circumstances.
It turns out that friendly gestures on your server can have an amazing big impact on your tip decision, although you may not be aware of this.
Dozens of experiments with similar designs (
Use playing cards or other random devices to determine what \"special treatment\" customers will receive \")
In various restaurants across the country, the impact of small moves on tips has been strengthened.
For example, if the server writes \"thank you\" on the back of the customer\'s check, the prompt will rise by two percentage points, and if the server indicates on the back of the bill that the forecast is for good weather tomorrow, it will be four percentage points, if the server introduces him or herself by name, it is eight percentage points, and 5 percentage points if the server touches the customer\'s hand (
It\'s worth noting though that this last study is only done on female servers! ).
All of this evidence suggests that making customers feel like you have a real relationship and taking steps to improve their mood can be a huge benefit.
This is not a restaurant-
Specific phenomena-
Taxis are also important.
A large-scale study of the tips given after 13.
In 2009, 82 million taxis in New York City found that emotions were important even if they were influenced by factors beyond the driver\'s control.
Cloud coverage makes us grumpy and researchers have found that cloud coverage affects tips even when other weather conditions and seasons are taken into account.
When the weather is completely cloudy, the average tip of the taxi driver is half a percentage point less than when the weather is completely clear.
Recent advances in technology have made it easier for us to make tip decisions when interacting with the screen at the point of sale.
Companies like Square and Uber now make a list of possible suggestions when we make a purchase, which may not be surprising and will affect our choices.
A recent study published the same 13.
The 82 million New York City taxi trip mentioned above examines the impact of the rider\'s suggestion to pay the taxi time-consuming screen with a credit card.
Of the 100,577 daytime taxi trips initiated at LaGuardia Airport, some of the data were amplified and the fare was $15 or more, and compare different companies where passengers \"randomly\" show different suggested tip percentages on the payment screen when they take two taxis (
20 per cent, 25 per cent or 30 per cent, while 15 per cent, 20 per cent or 25 per cent).
The higher recommended tip increases the average tip of the driver by about 7 percentage points per 10
For every $1,000, a small but accurate estimate adds an additional tip of about $7.
However, an interesting side effect is also shown in the data: it is recommended that rides with higher tips are more prone to tip.
Therefore, a higher suggestion prompt will produce a double peak response
The average tip is higher, but more people choose not to tip at all, probably because they are angry about the overpriced advice offered on the screen.
So, what is the point of all this?
The main thing is that you are not alone if you are not sure when to tip.
Economics argues that without the \"right\" answer, research shows that we are all easily manipulated.
If you work in the service industry, some of the research I \'ve described here should give you some insight into how to improve your tip.
If you are just a patron, my advice is that you try to put down your tipping anxiety and don\'t feel too bad about following the advice of technology (or your heart)
About tipping.
