Also, I take great offence at the assertion that
if I can afford it I shouldn't bitch, what a pathetic attitude to have. You're saying if you can afford to get ripped off then you should get ripped off, if you can afford to replace your stuff, you should't care if it gets stolen etc. etc.

Different circumstances.
Tipping is open and obvious. Standard is 15%, bare minimum is 10%, and anything more is rewarding good service. One should figure in a tip as part of the cost of eating at a restaurant.

Being ripped off is being deceived. You don't know that it's coming. Wholly different ballgame.

I stand by my statement: if tipping a waiter costs too much for your comfort, you shouldn't be eating at the restaurant. Restaurants are a luxury, not a necessity. If I'm so broke that five dollars is going to make a real difference to me, I'll go to a grocery store and buy food there.
