*facepalm*. No.... I am saying I y’all pro-tippers say we should tip $1-3 because it’s insignificant. And since that value (1 dollar, 2 dollars, whatever y’all think a good tip should be) is such an insignificant amount from your bank, AND you’re so worried of us ‘non-tipping-scum’ “causing van drivers to snub you” as a result, than go ahead and tip for us, it’s win-win. It’s so insignificant to you, why do you care, and the van drivers get that tip amount they would have got if we tipped them.
You can’t play both sides. Either it is a significant amount, and you can understand why we don’t do it, or it isn’t significant should insignificant, you should just do it for us if we don’t.

Are you serious?
It sounds like you did him a favor. I bet when he asked to go out to eat, he though he was going out with a non-judgmental donkey. If he knew you judged him based on his ability or willingness to give money to someone, he probably wouldn’t have asked you.
I bet you also give people the stink eye when they refuse to “help the “X” charity when they are just buying something unrelated at the store. You have no idea how much that person gives to that same charity or others on their own.
Even if I don’t agree with the tipping culture, I’m not going to refuse to eat with those who do. That’s what’s wrong with our society. Someone disagrees with you on 1 thing and you want nothing to do with them on all levels.
I would still not mind grabbing a bite/beer with you....but as we see, you can’t be seen in public with the likes of ‘my kind’, so it probably won’t happen.
