Oh Great LJ Brain Trust, explain to me your custom of tipping

I'm sure I'll think of other situations shortly. Oh, and what would you do if you didn't have the right denomination(s) of money? I know it never happens in the movies, but humor me: what if?

Aw crap, I thought of another one already. How about the guy who brings you your mini-bottle of champagne and pours you a glass?

My mom usually gives $2 to anyone who handles her bags. She's old and it's in Wisconsin, though, so I'm not entirely sure if that's the going rate. And these aren't swanky places.

Given the mass nature of the transportation to the event, I don't really think a tip from every rider would be appropriate. If the driver did something special for you, maybe.
