This started with a tip bucket and snowballed.
No one is forcing anyone to tip, and if you are able to not have feelings, then don't tip. Some older people (I know I said that in TV website) grew up tipping 10%. I usually tip 30% on the food (I don't tip on the taxes). If bottles of wine are bought then it is a game day decision but I am not tipping 30 dollars on a 100 bottle of wine. I don't even know what is right in that case.
As to the basket, tip the guy then ask why in a kind way he feels the need, he may have an interesting story to tell.
