[quote=Anonymous]Interesting discussion. It looks like there are three schools of thought: First, tipping is intended to reward an employee whose regular wages are based on an assumption that the employee's income will be supplemented with tips to raise it to a reasonable level eg waiters. Second, tipping is warranted when service is over and beyond what would be expected. In this instance, tipping is not the norm but it is a recognition of extraordinary service. Third, tipping is a form of "social equalization" where the goal is "wealth sharing". It is better explained in last paragraph of the following article. [url]http://www.wisegeek.org/why-do-we-tip-for-some-professions-but-not-others.htm[/url] Most of the disagreement on this thread seems to emanate from the "social equalization" aspect. Posters pretty much agree that the first and second rationales warrant tipping. [/quote]
