I don't see the point in tipping in a greasy spoon

And restaurants are expensive enough as it is

In our local Indian restaurant my dad usually gives the tip directly to the guy who serves us as apparently his boss takes away the tips.

I do that just out of convenience.

I hate sitting waiting for change while they huff and puff on as if you are asking them for money from their own pocket, and they take ages too

Plus I only ever get a taxi usually if I have a load of shopping. And they always bring it to my door

Actually being a Taxi driver is not that easy, it's really tiring driving all day/night plus you have to deal drunken morons too

I never tip unless they have been particularly amazing or nice. But in a cab (in Singapore) if I'm in a hurry I quite often say keep the change but thats only when its less than 60cents (30p)

I despise tipping. Why should I pay you extra to do a job that YOU ARE getting paid to do?

Another thing that bothers me is to tip more just because the food is $50 instead of say $20. It Didn't cause the waitress/waiter to work any harder, but he/she makes more since the 15% of $50 is more than 15% of $20. Just absolutely ridiculous.

I only tip if the service is good and the waiter is ugly because people (my friends) only tip when the waiter is obviously an unemployed model/actor/singer/dancer and I know they're not the only ones who do that so I feel bad for the unattractive ones. :''(
