cheap is cheap, stupid is stupid and giving away/spending money like it grows on trees is the latter

once again, I have NO problem whatsoever with paying for a service and rewarding quality, but this blackmailing as 'you are cheap if you dont give me x' doesn't do much convincing me about the tipping nonsense

btw they seem to be quite into the 'spreading it around a little bit' how about if you google "retention bonuses bailout" or something along those lines.

Also, see how far this sense of entitlement goes into the 'you are cheap' line, when someone performs a good service for me I normally RECOMMEND the person/establishment to OTHER people, I know that 'instant gratification' and 'me me now now' are deep ingrained .......but sometimes long term thinking is better
