I like tipping well organized, proficient, attentive staff, which is normally the case.
And I like doing it generously.
But I do not like having to tip.
Just because someone (barely) does his job I do not think he/she deserves a tip.
And I never tip the owner of the company but rather make him a good present. For example, now that I am going on a Snow Sheep hunt to Kamchatka, the outfitter will be picking me up in Moscow, what I will do will upgrade his 11 hour flight ticket to Petropavlosk to business class.
