Call me cheap if you want, but that really doesn't bother me. Tipping needs to die.
The guilt will subside with the next economic downturn but guess what? The same old van driver will still show up (late) and carry your bags (even when you told him not to) and take you to your hotel.
When a gratuity is perceived as mandatory it is no longer considered a gratuity. Most of society has gone cashless anyway.
