That's just, like, your opinion, man
I would say the guy calling everyone "scum" is sowing different seeds of karma than the ones who simply don't leave a buck or two for the maid.

Karma doesn't exist, but thanks for your concern.

It's a figure of speech, really.
What I'm really saying is that I know that I'm a good person; not leaving a buck for the maid doesn't suddenly turn me into a bad one. At the same time, a bad person isn't turned into a good one simply because he follows a tipping guide.

A good person leaves a tip. Simple as that.

The same good person who calls everyone scumbags?

A good person speaks the truth and doesn't excuse bad behavior.

funny you should say that...as an FO I would have my hat at the ready in the crew lounge, . and if the captain had one, I'd wear mine (Uni-form) If he (or she) didn't I wouldn't. I also had the dinner jacket and the leathers and would be able to match as well...that way we looked like a team. Most of my fo's didn't play along, but that was their choice.
So mean.

You're right, and calling everyone a "scumbag" who doesn't agree with you is bad behavior. Look around you, Todd: Nobody is handing those harsh words back to you. Everyone is taking the high road except you.

I'm for mandating the hat and downsizing the number of approved options.

Tip or don't tip. At the end of the day, let your conscience guide you.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.
So does bring broke make one look like an ass? 2nd year regional FO pay, two kids AND an ex-wife to support. I usually have zero cash on me, and what small bills I usually have, go to the van driver.
I'm skinny not because I don't eat, but because I can't afford to eat well.
Sorry miss maid. Gotta worry about #1, #2 and #3 first. You are low on the priority list.

Take a deep breath and relax. What you say is true, but the exception proves the rule. Do you still tip an apathetic, lazy and sub-par server? If I'm unhappy with the service I might tip 5% to make a point, if the service is exceptional I've tipped 30%. Also sometimes you get wait staff that simply won't leave you alone, if they bother me constantly asking if everything is okay while I'm eating my meal it reduces the tip amount. The really good staff won't bother you and will be ready for anything you might need because they're watching you and are anticipating your next request.

You shouldn't group all people together based on the actions of a few.
Also, as someone else pointed out you can't make less than minimum wage. If their tips don't add up to minimum wage, it is supplemented. I'm not saying I don't tip, I'm just saying it's not automatic. If my drink glass stays empty, you lose a dollar. Not polite, there goes another dollar. Hopefully you can understand that.

I don't disagree with any of that. But that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about people simply choosing not to tip.

I don't. I base it on the actions of the many. The good ones are few and far between.

I really hate that you've run into people that shine a negative light on Christianity. They are not representative of what it is all about.
