In comparison, my acquaintances whom I've observed tipping very generously, usually do so at entry level establishments such as The Keg (no offense intended), and would clearly be uncomfortable to tip at such rates at some of the world's more finer dining establishments.

Given your unsolicited attack of myself and the other fellow who defended my neutral opinion, and taking into account my observations of minimal tippers vs. generous tippers, I must therefore presume that you:

a.) Harbor frustrations against the rich, and therefore tip generously to make yourself feel like a "baller."

b.) Probably hold a job which prevents you from "truly" becoming as rich as you'd like to be, hence needing to over tip to make up for this feeling of inferiority.

c.) Undertravelled (worldly)

d.) Earn about $14/hour (baller)

e.) All of the above!
