That's the point..... I don't dangle it.... I am not going to make a big production out of a big tip or a small one.

[Paul Atreides]

I am about tipping like I am about where I take my business: if I am treated with courtesy and like my business is appreciated, I return and give them more business. If I have a waiter/waitress, who is courteous, attentive, and appreciates the fact that I am helping to pay his/her salary, I leave a tip. However, I don't appreciate going to a place of business, where I am paying for the product, and having to hunt down someone for a refill of drink or the only times I see the waiter/waitress is when I am brought the meal and then the check.
