Brit here. I view tipping as dishonest. It's a trick to make something seem cheaper than it is. They're your employees, you pay them. Don't expect me to be a charity. Give me the cost up-front. If I decide it's too much, then I should take my business elsewhere. "That's the price, cough up or piss off." Be honest and straight-forward in your dealings.
