What's the right amount to tip for different services?
I never know how much to tip. Restaurants I know is around 15-20%, but what about haircuts, taxi drivers, delivery people, hotel housekeeping, the person who carries my bags? Is there a standard guide for tipping? I always feel anxious about whether I tipped too little or too much.

This is one of those topics where there's no single right answer — it depends heavily on your values and circumstances. I'd encourage you to look at it from multiple perspectives before forming a strong opinion.

Talk to people who actually disagree with you instead of just reading things that confirm what you already believe. That's the only way I ever change my mind about anything. It's uncomfortable but worth it.
I used to have a strong opinion on this and then I lived in another part of the country for a few years and completely changed my mind. Travel does that. What seems obvious where you grew up isn't obvious everywhere.
