Yep, my tipping habits cost me maybe a few hundred extra dollars per year? But to the worker just that extra dollar or two might make their entire night. Considering the free-market slant of HN, these comments are remarkably obtuse. Let those who do not care to tip choose any of the countless options where tipping is not involved. The rest of us who tip will continue paying a bit more and getting a lot more in return. Tipping makes my life easier and more enjoyable, and continues giving returns, for a very small investment. Compared to the $1000s (millions?) thrown away on kickstarter-startup life-improvement possibilities, tipping should be an easy choice.
