Oh, yeah? Well, I really don't get people who really don't get not tipping! Tipping is dumb. It being percentage based is silly. I have to "appreciate" the service more because... I ordered a more expensive bottle of wine? C'mon, that's silly. It's also crazy arbitrary. We don't tip fast food workers, but we do tip people at Starbucks? I recently had someone come out and fix my washer. I had no idea whether or not to tip. I think of that Mad Men scene when these conversations about "appreciation" come up. Peggy: "you never say 'Thank you'!" Don: "That's what the money was for!" I'm a simple man, but I like service exchanges being what they say on the tin. I give you money. You give me service. No hidden societal expectations that involve more out-of-band funding.
