You just admitted that it's not that you "forget" to have tip money. You intentionally don't. I don't care for the tipping culture, but you are an embarrassment to the profession. And yes, there is a need for calling attention to this. Endeavor pilots and CAs specifically have a reputation now because of this of being cheapskates who aren't even honest enough to tell the truth about it. It's not an aircrew thing, it's not a generation thing, and it's not even a regional pilot thing. It's an Endeavor thing. Don't complain about not being treated like a professional if you can't act like one.
What YOU do with your money is your prerogative, what I do with my money is mine. I do enjoy how passionate you are about tipping though. I tip my hat to you, sir.
