we can go back and forth on what we morally believe in, but tipping for the reason of getting something back is probably the wrong reason to tip. secondly, if you just feel "its their job to do this anyway", you give them very little incentive to try harder and be good at what they do, which is to keep clients/customers happy. think about the big picture here.
