Most service professionals rely on tips, most famously a restaurant's wait staff, whose base pay is a far cry from the minimum wage. But there are many others we may not think of tipping, or tipping very much, even though they also depend on our generosity for a chunk of their take-home pay.

Your busboy/girl gets over a quarter of his/her $9.80 hourly wage from tips. Your DJ relies on tips for 16 percent of his wage. Your dog bather: 8 percent. Your sushi chef: 16 percent. Your fast-food server: 6 percent, the same percentage as your kindly tow truck driver. And for all you regular seafarers, your captain (and his mate) are banking on your generosity for 23 percent of his or her livelihood.

The online salary database Payscale calculated how much various service professionals' really depend on your tips, in percentage amounts. 'Tis the season to remember that when you're feeling frugal, you're slashing someone's paycheck!
