I'm taking it a little overboard, I know, and I am just messing around. However, I really do think tipping has gone WAY overboard. On the flip side, if people worked on tips instead of commission or paid by the hour there may be better customer service. Car sales wouldn't be as pushy on a more expensive car but, instead, more fitting to the customer's needs. You'd get your coffee or sandwich faster and made with more meat than vegetables. (The sandwich obviously with the meat and veggies, not the coffee.)
Well said indeed. I never did really get the whole tip thing either, but of coarse I'm from the back country. I catch heck from my wife all the time for my tipping or lack of. Spend that kind of money for a hunt and a tip is expected? In my mind the tip was included
