This massive tipping is getting ridiculous. 15% for good service is for a restaurant. Why should that 15% figure carry over to other industries?

15% of a $9 taxicab fare is one thing. Tipping 15% on a $600 limo fare is just stupid, IMHO.

If you're paying $600 a day for a limo, the driver should be decently compensated by the company. Good grief, what are they spending $500 a day on? It can't be the vehicle itself, unless it's made out of solid gold.

It makes no sense to blindly apply a 15% figure. If I go to Waffle House and order a waffle and nothing else (not to go, but in the diner), should I tip 33 cents? After all, that is 15% of the price, rounded up to the nearest penny.

If I go to a restaurant and order $1000 worth of food and wine for two people -- myself and Mr. Hungry Drunkard -- should I tip $150? What am I getting for my $150 when the couple next to me will tip $144 less on their $40 tab?

How about a $200,000 house that a real estate agent finds for you the second it hits the market? Is a $30,000 tip in order?
