Keep in mind that tipping is expected if you go out to eat, get a cab or room service. 15 to 20 percent over the cost of the tab is normal. At bars, a dollar or two tip per drink is typical. Additionally, if you're using a carpool lane, get out of the lane well before your exit, since it can be difficult to cross several lanes of traffic during rush hour.
