I so much agree with you in this. We had a tipping discussion in the Simen forum and I just could't explain why I feel it uncomfortable to tip, but you did it! For me it is not that uncomfortable to tip at restaurants, taxis or whenever there already is a transaction of money. What I feel uncomfortable with is when tipping the for exemple the bellboy (what do you say when you hand the money, and how do you do it etc...) I do tip, but feel it uncomfortable. Maybe because I am not used to it...
