why are so many obsessed with to tip or not?

I am waiting for the post when someone has anxiety over tipping the cashier at kohl's for bagging their purchase. what about the person at taco bell? krispy Kreme? how about a post on who we aren't going to tip. ENOUGH.

are we so worried about what another person thinks about you? what about all the Walmart cashiers. surely they deserve more than they are making. should they all have tip cups out as well? ok, rant over.

I don't tip to make friends.

I tip if I think it's the right thing to do.

If other people have questions re: tipping, they are probably caring, generous people.

We need MORE people concerned about others - not more insensitive people out for themselves!

Re: cashiers at big box stores - I work with causes and people who want to raise the minimum wage to make it a livable wage. That's my contribution to that issue.

It IS getting weird and not worth the angst it seems to be causing so many people.

I tip when I want to. Some would probably feel that I tip too willingly. However, I do what feels right to me. I don't much think about what others might do.

If I am wondering if I should tip, it's a pretty good bet that I should

I think it has a lot to do with the other obsession about whether or not folks violate some special law of nature based on what they wear to a wedding...

I agree!! I tip my hairdresser, servers maybe a couple of others I don't have time to list but if you wanted tips just for doing your job you shoulda been a juggler.

LOL! I was recently surprised to hear that most of my friends/co-workers don't tip at the nail salon. I've always done this, so I didn't quite know what to say when they asked me "Why would you tip?"

I honestly don't know the proper tipping etiquette in all situations, but like another poster stated, I tip when I feel like I should. (Mostly in situations where the service provider is tending to me on a personal level - such as the hair/nail salon or when I get waxed.)
