@Victor_Emmanuel @sickburnbro Yes. I get what sickburn is saying and I remember this working in my childhood and early youth. It was never the issue like it is today.
What is different is my youth was still a single White culture in a White nation. Yes, we had minority minorities but they didn't affect how We did things.

Today you have arab and chink and jeet culture embedded everywhere where haggling and ripping off the customer is just expected behaviour.

Tipping is wildly out of control where I live, but it's in part because these people glommed onto the opportunity to do this with covid and in part because White people are just tired of dealing with their shit.

Tipping is just the salient that people focus on.,
