Bell boys in Hotels ?
Skycaps ?
Hotel Doormen ?
Concierge ?
Taxi's ?

Thanks
Bellboys, Skycaps - $1 per bag
Taxis - 15-20% (assuming decent service)
Hotel Doormen - $1-2 for hailing a taxi
Concierge - $5-20, depending on (a) services performed (b) chances you'll be back...

Banking_Scot has it right about restaurant staff, too.
