Seems by your logic there should be a tip jar at the front galley.
I don't think a gun is being held to the F/A'a or *bucks head. They both have the option of quitting.

Maybe not on a brand new plane, but a 757 built in 1985...God only knows if it's ever been replaced. I visualized a metal walled tank with long strands of vegetation swaying in the water like a video of an underwater camera shot of seaweed in the ocean.

As far as buying someone's coffee or drinks or dinner, it is my gift, not my obligation.
As far as tipping, filling a cup and/or ringing up my purchase does not rise to that level and I find the expectation it does to be arrogant and self aggrandizing.
As far as shaming me into tipping someone undeserving of a tip based upon their need, who the hell are you to decide for me who most needs my money?
