I have always had mixed feeling in regards to tipping.
In the past, when used to be an office guy, and running from to office to office to collect bills, I only got once or twice a tip.

When people came into my office (I was an employee at that point), I never expected a tip, and felt it was even inappropriate to receive one. I am paid to do this job, and the customer should expect excellent service. Would the customer otherwise not deserve to receive good service?

Unless there were extra's that were not included in the price, I think that we should get rid of the tipping culture. Otherwise, we might start to tip flight-attendants, pilots, cashiers, busdrivers, lounge dragons,...
