hamhock: Whose idea was tipping, anyway? hamhock: just charge me more and then pay the waiter more! why's it gotta be up to me? I mean, if I tipped a cop or a politician or a firefighter it would be called a bribe! hamhock: So, why am I expected to tip a waiter? Ralston: Think of it as bribing them not to spit in your drink.

And why the tip jars at any establishment with a counter or the shlub in the restroom who turns on the water and pumps soap in my hands. Really?…

@ Idahoser: I agree that it seems ludicrous to tip at a counter when you’re standing in line or standing at the counter waiting for them to make it if they are just making what I ordered. But if they put a little extra on it and don’t get skimpy with things, I think they deserve it.
