We obviously don't have the same definition of nonsense.
Why would anyone so intelligent as to comprehend and apply the "fair tipping" arguments be embarrassed? Do you mean for not being wealthy?
Besides wealthy being relative, it is a well-known fact among those with old money that new money spends more conspicuously and has a tendency to overtip.
