PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

I am an American and i often get confused about when and how much to tip in various instances. I think the OP question is fair, but next time when the price seems higher than your norm do not purchase the service expecting to compensate out of the tip
I think OPs question makes sense and liked McK1’s answer the best. The tipping standards seem to vary so much, from a barber to shoe shiner to waiter to pizza delivery. You have to literally carry a tipping rate card to know how much to tip for each type of service. I also think that looking at the total cost of service (including tip) before purchasing is a good idea. The service providers will be forced to compete by lowering their prices. It would be best if there is one price (with the tip or whatever included) so that people from different cultures aren’t confused about tipping.
Tips and the US tipping culture suck. OP: I would also have no idea and found this conversation useful...
Why would I know this SC1? Because it’s America and everyone in the world gets a book labeled “America customs” that we must memorize? Keep believing that
OP I would have dropped $2-3 for ~20%.
I hate the topping culture in the States and try to be as consistent as possible. Just because he works in a low price environment doesn’t mean rules/customs go out the window. When I go to a cheap diner, I don’t tip $5 for my $5 coffee and eggs.
Poor Op just wanted you all to agree with his dolla tip...he didn’t come here for advice you meanies 😂😂
Get a grip dude. You were wrong, move on. Just tip better next time.
Let’s start a gofundme page to get this guy an extra $1.50
Make America Great Again...
Read several threads today... finally found where to put this
$1 tip is a slap in the face no matter how you slice it. Wasn't even 10%
Go home and get your shine box!
I didn’t realize this many people get their shoes shined
E5, Goodfellas is my second favorite movie of all time! (numero uno is Pulp Fiction)
$5 in midtown, $5 tip
20%
SC1 - No. But you have a reading comprehension problem or you lied about reading the post.
P1, so sorry for the slip up. My argument is invalid now 🙄
SA1 - that would not have solved the problem. I would still need to understand how much tip was appropriate. Clearly most here seem to think 10-20% for this service wouldn’t have been appropriate either. Most people here are suggesting 42%. Or in the case of M1, 100% tip.
OP, yes lash out at me. I made an assumption that you are likely living in the US and Canada, based on what this app is. Maybe I am wrong. That being said, most people living here know that service industries=tip. Go ahead and be pissy at me bc you gave a dude $1 for providing a service. Just know going forward that it might be seen as a slap in the face to most.
SC1- YOU were wrong. You made a stupid assumption and turned this thread which had a legit question to a cesspool. Don’t you have some SC stuff to go do? Go build a deck or something.
This is why I don’t get my shoes shined. I just do it myself 😂
