It's not what I do that is right. It's what everyone does, as a society. The society has deemed it respectful to tip a van driver who does a good job. We have also deemed it respectful to tip a waiter 20% when they do a good job. I don't have to tip them 20%. Or even 10%. But society has dictated that to me and, as such, I like to meet or exceed society's standards.
By the way, society has deemed it respectful to stand for the national anthem. Are you saying you think it's appropriate to buck that trend to?
I do hope you know almost 100% of restaurants tip share as a mandatory policy to reduce the overall labor cost for the company. ALL servers are required to be paid min wage*hours on duity. The $2.15 tossed around is to deduct taxes from, and the restaurant owners forced them to split tips to avoid having to pay out of pocket for the bad servers.
Your generous tip ensures the worst server at the restaurant gets paid from tips not the owner.
If you read the fine print in cabs it says they'll allowed to charge 50 cents for each piece of luggage they load, so a cab tip is on top of the charge.
I tip, but only because I feel I have a blessed life from God, not because society dictates I should.
Tipping culture originated from when only wealthy people traveled, or ate at fancy restaurants. Amazing how dress codes become non existent, but tipping never followed suit, like the money dance at a wedding is still around, but no ones lines up anymore to greet the bride and groom.
