(Actually from what I have read tipping seems to have come about in the US when hotels employed Newley freed slaves but did not pay them any wage and told them that tips were their only income, but I digress.) So, if someone is being paid a fair wage at or above minimum wage why do you feel compelled to tip them? Did they do something above and beyond? Are they making less than minimum wage and I am not aware? Or do you simply have more money than me, or more than you need ? As I said, I’m curious.

Most of those workers for purposes of this discussion have suffered financially recently. Why not tip if you can afford it. Can't take it with you.
