What are your views on tipping?

pimagro24 @pimagro24 (1046) • Thailand 5 Oct 08

What are your views on tipping? I believe that tipping is as much the part of dinning out as the food is. If you don't budget a tip when you go out, then you should not be dining out. Tipping is not a reward for good service and...

rjones358 While I agree that money that in most cases the more money you have the bigger your problems can be, I have to say that it all depends on how that money is used. If one is looking to acquire money to relieve themselves of a situation, say a foreclosure on a...
