You know, I'm kind of conflicted about that. Because there are situations where you can get into where people will give you bad service. It probably isn't intended, you know, maybe somebody is just really overwhelmed, they overlooked something. All right, well, he didn't give me good service. I'm not supposed to tip that person, but if I tip low, what does that say about me? Why don't you just kill people with kindness? But then again, you know, you may be the kind of person who has a short fuse. I had a guy that came into a bar and he was talking to a young lady and they were talking about tipping. I got four quarters for him and his girl and he puts fifty cents on the bar. I looked at him and said, "Do me a favor buddy, go make yourself a phone call". If you feel like you can't tip me, don't tip me anything at all. Don't give me change.
