Tipping

Interesting study on which states tip the most as a percentage of spending on food to be consumed away from home. NH ranks #1.

Keep in mind the percentages overall seem very low until you remember that the denominator is the sum of all food purchased for consumption outside of the home. It's atypical (or should I write 'atipical') to tip in some of those establishments.

Perhaps NH is more dine-in versus fast food centric as opposed to other states where there seems to be a McDonalds, Burger King or Subway on every corner (my guess only). Also, I'm sure the wealth of the east coast weighs into the noted disparity against the south and west.

NH also ranks fairly high (#9) on annual per capita spending for food to be consumed away from home.
