-i dont like the idea of tipping, but i feel pressured to do so out of social convention

-when i do tip, i end up much better than the average (at restaurants probably 25% lifetime average.. and even tip take-out services)

-obv always tip at restauraunts, and i tip the hair cutter because we have a "rapport" and i would feel uncomfortable with my scalp under their scissors otherwise

-i like non-US restaurants... not because i dont have to tip , but moreso the idea that one pays in total exactly the price that is listed (whether the service/gst is "built-in" or not is inconsequential to me)

-i avoid bellboys, doormen, and valets... less so because of my perceived value of the service (NOTHING), but because of my discomfort with the idea of needing someone to carry my bags. i grew up poor, and it just seems wrong...
