I'm probably gonna get flamed but my opinion is that you should only tip when you are very satisfied with a service given to you (dealer,restaurant,taxi or whatever).

And the argument that many people (minimum wage jobs and similar) live on tipping is only valid beacuse you (ie most people) help the employer to keep the wages that low with their tipping.

IMO the employer should pay decent wages and tipping should never be "mandatory".

I know that this is a cultural thing in some countries (USA) but i´m still interested others take on this subject unless you intend to add such insights as "Your a cheap bastard" replys.
