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!

Actually none of the above. The answer is,
f.) Just a regular guy who's not a cheapass douchebag like you.
I've tipped 15% when I earned less than $14/hr, I still tip 15% now that I earn significantly more than $14/hr. I DON'T tip in places like Italy, Australia and SE Asia where they have built in service charges/pay their servers well. I DO tip in Canada and the United States where I know servers make at or below minimum wage.
p.s. how is an undertravelled person worldly? I assume you mean "unworldly". A presumption of which, if you spend any time reading my posts, is ludicrious.
p.p.s. how do you figure your pseudo-intellectual diatribes against me constitutes an "unsolicited attack"?
To reiterate,
achiam = cheapass douchebag who needs a dictionary.
