After some thought, I want to add that I do tip appropriately (perhaps generously) in restaurants where it's clear that most of a waiter's income is derived from tips. And certainly I tip airport van drivers, taxidrivers, bellboys, and people in cultures where tipping is part of the norm (Robert and I left a wake of tiny tips in Egypt. It was part of the culture.)
It rankles me when I'm expected to give tips to people who are paid a normal salary for doing a mediocre job, at best. If someone does an exceptional job and is paid a normal salary, then I consider tipping.
