You're basically implying they need your help, which they consider an insult to them and the business they work for.

They're more confused by the gesture than insulted. If anything about it is insulting to them, it's that they now have to chase you down to give you your money back.

I prefer to tip because it gives me the means of feeling objectively superior to people who tip less than I do.

Yea i don't think it insults them....they just don't understand the concept of tipping....PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY PAY THEIR RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES A DECENT WAGE AND DON'T HAVE SOME BULL SHIT LOOPHOLES WHERE TIPS MAKE UP THE REST FOR THEM.

I mean itd be nice if they just increased menu prices

Restaurant food is ludicrously expensive as it is. Even cheap places are ~$10 a meal these days.

Usually the portion sizes are large enough to the point where you can make two meals out of it.

Hey, this is AMERICA. That's half a meal at best.

Tipping a waiter or waitress is one thing but everyone and their mom expects a tip these days. Oh you want a tip for handing me a pizza box? Yeah right

Tipping actually makes the workers a lot more money than they'd be making if there were no tips (i.e. minimum wage)

both the business and the worker come out on top

I used to do this, but I got fired and now I no longer do this.

Not all of the time. Its completely shift dependent and customer dependent.

I was in New Orleans last year and a guy in the bathroom demanded a tip after handing me a towel. I basically told him off.

After paying 50 bucks on five shots... FOH.

This, fuck I hate seeing the tip line on my receipt when all I did was place an order at the register.
