    So tipping is for charity? Why should the wait staff get priority over the Tibetan koala sanctuary (or any other charity of your choice)?

    There are many more people in the world who deserve greater care than 1st world plate carriers.

      If I were taking advantage of their services, I would tip them too. As I’m benefiting from a first-world plate carrier’s service, I’ll tip them. Participating in a society by only doing things that help others when you might suffer consequences (via poor service on a return visit) is poor manners at the very least.

      I don’t think this conversation is going to be very productive (at least on my end), so I’ll cut it off here. Have a good one.
