Re:Why Tipping Should (And May) Be Made Illegal by joonix on Monday August 12, 2013 @04:44PM (#6201745)
Because I get attitude from a person who is supposed to be serving me, as well as inattentive service. I don't think I need to explain why bad service is bad.

Also, the actual act of tipping is uncomfortable. I have to write an amount that I feel adequately compensates the person for their effort and time. I really have no idea what that number should be. 15-20% is completely arbitrary. If I feel the service was bad, I now have to do a passive-aggressive low tip. And you know they are just going to think you tipped low because you're cheap, not because their service was bad.

Do you feel the same way on all tipping? (For example tipping the bellhop or tipping the maid at a hotel?)

I'm not defending tipping I'm just curious how you feel about it in other cases.
