I've always used touch as a way of conveying comfort to EVERYONE I know or 
meet (guests, friends, random people at parties.)  If you do so without coming 
off as a creep (IE, don't go grabbin things you shouldn't be grabbin), you 
come off as a more social and likeable person.  Didn't really apply it to tips 
though.  Methinks a little research is going to be in order.
