What country do you live?

missing the point

You haven't traveled much it seems.

I'll take "any country in Africa" for $200, Alex.

Which is? That his statement wasn't even being close to true? What is the other point?

Not really a sound argument for not tipping. Just more excuses to cover up cheapness.

Can’t this thread just die an inglorious death?

Obviously two different camps here and no one is changing anyone else’s mind.

Wow this thread went 20 pages! It seems every so often this topic comes up in one form or another. And inevitably it turns into a huge back and fourth. It’s simple. If you want to tip and can afford it do so, hurray. If don’t want to or cannot then don’t. Either way it’s nobody’s business but your own. Make your own decisions and don’t take advice from an anonymous Internet forum.

Non-tip givers come up with lame excuses because they are just cheap and have a general distain for the working class. Game, set, match, argument over.

There, now you can close the thread.

Sometimes a thread can serve as a Binky, distracting belligerent people from causing trouble elsewhere on APC. :D

In that case we have the other half a dozen tipping threads!
