Ok planemechanic, you aren't a tightwad. You are just too tight with your money to tip average service. You are just so cheap that you grossly undertip great service. I got it! You totally don't sound like a tightwad at all. Sorry how could I have made that mistake.

Even though you are the one personally responsible for causing them to lose money and therefore "waste" their time serving you. I am sure you would be completely ok with not getting paid for some of the hours/work you did while you were working right?

How are you over paying for a meal? If tipping didn't exist do you think prices wouldn't go up? If anything we are all underpaying for meals currently because prices would be higher if restaurants had to raise their payroll.
If you know that if you go over to certain peoples houses it is customary to take off your shoes before you walk inside and you don't because their is no law or contractual relationship requiring you to do so you are rude.
If you go to a place where you know tipping is customary and the service isn't poor and you don't tip you are being rude.
