I heard on the news that you can tip a retailers. Are there any retailers that you would tip?

I would tip if they somehow made my life easier.
 
I just saw this on the news today as well. I wouldn't think of it. It seems wrong.
 
I have never heard of this.

Sometimes at small stores or Salvation Army/Goodwill I tell them to keep the change. I hate change in my pocket.
 
No not at all! I will say my Mom is a notoriously bad tipper if she orders take away for the family for dinner she'll give 2 or 3 bucks to the driver I will often add 2-3 to that! Now here is a thing they say that during the holidays you should tip a service provider (barber hair stylist nail tech etc)1 cost of a service, does anyone really do this?
 
Speaking of tip, can I give my tip on how to figure out the tip?

Its 15%.
If the bill was $28.00, take 10% of that, which is $2.80.
To get the 5%, half that amount ($1.40).
$2.80 + $1.40 = $4.20, which is 15% of $28.00
 
In the UK it's normal to tip around 10% in restaurants, but generally not in bars/pubs and certainly not in shops.
 
If they do something special, like loading something in to my car, I tip. Otherwise no.
 
I don't know about anywhere else but I see tip jars everywhere nowadays. In bodegas, laundromats, even 7-11. Once I grabbed a nickel from what I thought was a 'have a penny leave a penny' dish at 7-11 and I was scolded "No that for tip!".

If I go into a bodega, pour MYSELF a cup of coffee and then hand over the $30.95 or whatever the fuck they want for a cup of coffee these days and the guy behind the counter is poking his phone and doesn't even look at me, then I'm the one who should get a tip. Motherfucker doesn't even hold out his hand for the money. I literally did everything in this exchange except put the money in the cash register for him. Fuck that.
 
Away back in the early 70's, when I worked as a sack clerk / stock clerk at my local Piggly-Wiggly, many customers tipped for carrying their groceries out to their car. I had a regular customer who routinely tipped us 75 cents for his 3 sacks of groceries. We sack clerks almost came to blows over which one of us would sack this customers groceries. Unfortunately, these days, one is hard pressed to even find a check-out clerk in grocery stores, much less a sack clerk #-o
 
Absolutely not.

If a retailer provides particularly good service or offers superior products, then the appropriate response is to buy more, to spread word of mouth, and to leave positive online feedback.

Retail pricing and pay scales are not set with any expectations of tipping. Injecting that into them would quickly lead to the expectation that they are due, which has already damaged some service industries that sometimes second guess tippers today and only respond well to clientele they perceive as likely good tippers.
