I've never agreed with the whole tipping thing, largely because it's so unfair to everyone involved on both sides of the transaction.
Service X is advertised as costing $Y but in reality it's $Y plus some percentage, so in reality it's a form of false advertising.
I don't expect my customers to give me tips, and I don't see a lot of difference between what I do and what a bartender does in terms of labour involved and services provided.
Why does the guy who spent ten seconds pulling a beer out of the fridge behind the bar for me expect a $1 tip when the cashier at Walmart who spent ten minutes ringing up my purchases and putting everything into bags gets nothing extra? (Have you ever tipped your Walmart or grocery store cashier?)
