There are a lot of cheap bastards out there that tip little or nothing. Blacks and orientals are the worst, Meskins are cheap too
This, really. Though there are plenty of skinflint's of every race. The love of money runs deep and selfishness is a common human trait.
So if I'm careful with expenditures I'm a skinflint? Small expenses and tack-ons is what makes you broke, the big stuff is easy to see and control. My wife tips when we eat at a place we get waited on but I'm keeping my money in my pocket when I can. As I said earlier I go to places where I can walk up to the counter, but some of them have the audacity to have a tip jar and a place on the ticket for tips.
Everybody has their hand out. Recently my security alarm company tried to tack on an extra $100 for swapping out the cell phone transmitter to 4G or 5G whatever that is. When I told them "no dice I have a service contract" they dropped it immediately.
The Fraternal Order of Police calls constantly wanting donations. I tell them I am retired LE and LE is well taken care of in benefits. Likewise all these not for profit NGOs and Veteran help groups. If you look into it there are huge salaries and fundraising costs associated.
The NRA quit calling finally.
