TIPPING IS PLAIN STUPID!
BOTTOM LINE:
So why do we allow this scam, in the form/system of "tipping," to go on by our participation in this practice? Easy! Mainly because of the massive social pressure on us to do so.

Also, there is the vanity aspect--we ourselves, love to tip-- "put on the dog," as they say --by impressing ourselves and others in our demonstarted generosity and ability to reward, handsomely, those "underlings" --yes, perceived underlings, if you care to be honest with yourself about it--even though said underlings may easily be pocketing higher wages than you yourself and for less effort.

And, their employers are laughing at all of us while they are quite content with their lower operating costs, as they, and the IRS, manipulate the whole scene to their personal advantage.

What If.... All costs of going out for meals, etc.--both goods and services--were included in the cost as listed--just like most other things. No tips, surcharges, gratuities, no BS!, whatever...
WHAT A CONCEPT!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Tipping upfront, a big problem

In a recent holiday to Vietnam the guide asked the nine of us for tips 'upfront' to make it easy. As the tour literature said tipping was optional we declined and tipped ourselves. The tour guide must have taken offence as the next day on a visit to a museum she left without us and also told the other guests we had not given her money for tips alienating these guests against us, some were abusive. (I am almost certain almost all the money was kept by the guide).
I complained to the tour company and they replied 'they are not responsible for other guest behavoir'
I believe we have been subject to a sort of blackmail, any advise please.
