I think you need to seriously think about chaning your screen name. Or better yet, leave it as it is, it's a real hoot!

And I can't figure out why you think it's alright to heap insults on me, and then accuse ME of "taking it personally" when all I have said, over and over, is that the tip is the customer's way of acknowledging the service, and it should remain voluntary.

You need to look back over my posts and see where I have "taken personally" anything you have said. Then you need to look and see what I did say. You'll find I have been very consistent. The principle is: the tip is the customer's feedback.

You obviously want something else. Well, you can't have it. Sometimes life is just like that. You'll survive.

But I really would suggest you get control of your emotions.
