general question on tipping

[intrepidity]

I still don't fully understand tipping in contexts besides wait staff at dine-in restaurants.

I tend to err on the side of over tipping and it often feels weird when I tip an owner of a business (or whom I suspect is owner but not sure).

So far I've not seen a tip jar at the grocery store checkers, but I bet it is coming. They already ask for various "donations" (where do those *really* go?) so just a matter of time til checkers jump on the bandwagon.

And meanwhile corporate profits are at obscene levels.
