This thread is extremely entertaining, especially reading those remarks about people even wanting to tip the SBUX gophers.
Yes, yes, I know it's the "norm" at restos, but outside of that, there are no written rules and everyone's interpretation is quite different. Especially those who try to claim a higher moral ground.
These days a lot make it a claim of higher moral ground that is easy to accomplish. Some people try to show off by tipping to seem like they have more disposable income, kind of like how some people buy Apple products because it is a fashion statement.
