I used to be a mutuel clerk so I tip. When I was working though I saw it all. There was a man who tipped $100 on all signers over $2,000 and $50 on anything up to $1,000. One night on a Sunday night a woman comes up to the supervisor and says, "Oh I have to cash my ticket...my horse won the 8th race and I had the superfecta!" The supervisor put it in the machine and it paid $2,800. She didn't give him a penny.
It really all depends on the people. You can never expect one on a voucher because you don't know what the person started with. However, if you know you sold a guy a ticket that came in because he's coming back to the window smiling and he goes to somebody else to cash it and tips them...it sucks.
