To tip, or not to tip this holiday season, that is the question. It's the season of giving and it's essential to give gratuity to all those who make your life easier as a sign of appreciation, an etiquette expert told Daily Mail. 'Definitely increase their tip, they deserve it,' Meier told the Daily Mail. 'If you’ve had very minimal service, or a genuinely poor experience, a tip is not obligatory,' the etiquette expert said. Another tip Meier has for choosing the size of your tip is to consider how long you've known the person and how much interaction they have with you and your loved ones.
